MASON CITY, Iowa – Coaches don’t get into coaching because they have aspirations of becoming a Hall of Famer, but rather to make a difference in the lives of children within their community. Mason City coach Curt Klaahsen was notified by the Iowa Girls Coaches Association last year that he was set to be inducted into its Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, COVID-19 halted those plans until this past weekend.
The Mason City girls basketball team ran into a buzz saw on Tuesday night, as the Mohawks fell to Johnston, 75-42.Â
The Mohawks kept pace with the Dragons early, as Mason City trailed the at the end of the first quarter, 15-10. But over the final three frames, Johnston outscored Mason City, 60-32. We got off to a good start but struggled to make shots consistently and Johnston gradually pulled away, Mason City head coach Curt Klaahsen said. Their balance on offense kept us off balance all night and they will be tough to stop the rest of the season.
The Mason City girls basketball team pulled within six points of tying the game late in the fourth quarter of Saturday s game against Ankeny Centennial.
