Tigers Hope Third Time Is A Charm


PODCAST - Tipton BB Postseason Preview

TIPTON — The Tipton Tiger boy's basketball team finished the regular season winners in six of their last eight games and look to carry that momentum into the postseason.  The Tigers will open the 2015 district tournament this Monday, February 16 at Camanche against North Cedar at 6:30 p.m.  The winner of that game plays early next week at Cascade.
"We are hoping to come out with a good start and play well early.  In the postseason, there is a sense of urgency and we want to be in control of the game," said Tipton basketball coach Matt Fouch.
"Both teams are different.  We sometimes put out five guards out there and they have more of a traditional lineup with guards and forwards.  I think that it will come down to whoever can get their style of play going for the longest time," he said.                                 
Tipton lost to the Knights at home on Saturday, January 10 and fell 51-49 this past Tuesday, February 10 at Clarence.  The third meeting will take place six days after the last lost.
The Tigers are a scary team, sporting three double figure scorers and two others with point averages over eight points.  Tipton also has sneaky good post players in Logan Ralston, Zach Howell and Logan Hoffman.
Tipton will have to find a way to shore up the inside game of the Knights.  Sophomore Logan Minar and senior Jayden Johnson offer tough match ups for the Tigers.  Minar had a double-double scoring 18 points and pulling down 10 rebounds.  Johnson scored 10 points and had 7 rebounds.

Tigers Open 3A Postseason Saturday At Mt. Vernon


TIPTON — The Tipton Tigers will begin their trek on the postseason tournament trail this Saturday at Mt. Vernon.  The Tigers have not played the Mustangs since they, along with Solon, Clear Creek-Amana and Williamsburg joined the WaMaC conference.

The Tigers will look to get off to a good start in their first round game Saturday.
“We want to give ourselves a chance.  Getting out to a good start will be important in the game,” said Tipton girl’s basketball coach Chad Rezac.
The Tigers season is one that they did not anticipate, but, over the last five basketball games one could argue that the Tigers are playing their best basketball of the season.
In their last five game:

Last 4 Games:

Location        Tipton        Opponent
Home            35        52 - West Liberty
Away            36        62 - Camanche
Home            38        43 - Washington
Away            43        36 - North Cedar

The Tigers scoring output has been their highest of the season in the past five games.  Consistently averaging around 25 points a game this season, the Tigers have averaged 38.0 points a game and have been over 35 points in all four games.  The Tigers have played RVC upstart West Liberty, a tough Camanche team, Washington and rival North Cedar in the stretch.
The Mustangs will come in with a 13-8 record and an 8-6 WaMaC record.  The Mustangs average 54.8 points a game.  Mt. Vernon had a home record of 7-3 with wins over Center Point-Urbana, Dubuque Hempstead, Vinton-Shellsburg, Solon, Anamosa, Maquoketa and Dyersville-Beckman.
The Mustangs beat North Cedar 63-47 on December 20 at North Cedar.  Mt. Vernon also non-conference results with Cedar Rapids Prairie - loss - 63-42 and Dubuque Hempstead - win 68-62.
The winner of the Tipton-Mt. Vernon contest will play the winner of another 3A quarterfinal between Camanche and NE Goose Lake, next week in Mt. Vernon.
