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.
