Despite giving up a harmless last minute touchdown, the Ipswich Tiger football team came away with an impressive 44-20 road win vs. Herreid/Selby Area and were still able to line up in their victory formation last Friday. One reason had to be Trevor Heinz setting a school reception record of 15 catches. They totaled 168 yards which was second best all time. (#2 behind Todd Miller’s 210 yards.) Of course that meant that quarterback Max Kulesa wouldn't have too bad of an evening himself finishing with 19 completions in 30 tries for 290 yards. C...
North Central attended a cross country event in Chamberlain last Thursday. The NC girls placed 12th as a team behind the host team Chamberlain (which placed first) and 11 more teams. The NC boys, meanwhile, were sixth among their 18 eligible scoring teams with 76 team points. Philip won the boys event with 15 points. The individual boys winner proved to be Miller's Alex Schumacher with his 16:40 run. Kinsey Evans of Chamberlain won the girls individual event with her 19:40 clocking. Girls first! The top NC girl that day would be Grace Roth...
The Ipswich cross country members attended a meet in Gettysburg last Saturday. For the varsity boys, Ipswich's Xavier Kadlec placed third in 17:44.53 and Tyler Gellhaus was 14th in 19:27.56 -- not enough entrants to place in the team standings. But they were individually won by Nicholas Schlachter of Potter County with Wamni Kills Crow second. (McLaughlin won the varsity boys team standings.) Now for the varsity girls, the Tigers again entered two runners, Madisyn Gellhaus sixth in 20:28.59 and Gracyn Kadlec 13th in 22:30.78. The winner of that...
Things are already happening fast regarding the September activity events. There was one thing though that you may have missed and that was Patriot Day on 9-11. But we hope that you did remember the reason for that day and at least were able to fly your flags. But there was one September event that we have really enjoyed, which apparently won't happen this year and that would have been the Northeast South Dakota Celtic Faire at Richmond Lake. Maybe the fish will still be biting there though. I won the grandest door prize they had at last...
Ipswich claimed a 44-6 high school football verdict over Northwestern last Friday in Mellette. The Tigers obtained a 10-yard TD run by Casey Geditz to put them on the first-quarter scoreboard. And there was a successful two-point conversion play. The Tigers then added a second-quarter score with a Max Kulesa pass to Kyle Hettich that covered 12 yards. But the conversion attempt would fail. So Ipswich would lead 14-0 at intermission. They then manufactured a productive third quarter. It all started with a 25-yard TD run by Geditz. The PAT...

Sunshine Bible's volleyball team was able to hang around pretty well Thursday, Sept. 7 in Ipswich, but the host team would still prevail in a straight-sets 3-0 sweep. Ipswich indeed had to rally to capture the first set 25-21 after the SBA netters had manufactured a brief 21-18 lead. Ipswich then found the second set to be a little more relaxing with its 25-15 victory. And the third set was capped by a Kaylin Onken kill for the Tigers' set point and match point and a 25-19 win. Ipswich would end...

Monday holidays always seem to make the rest of the work week go faster. Indeed they do! So we hope that your extended holiday weekend ending on Labor Day Monday went worthwhile and that you got a lot accomplished. But it was quite warm in fact downright hot for much of the weekend so maybe you took it easy instead Ipswich will be hosting a cross country invite on Saturday morning at the athletic complex. That will be a new location. So don’t head to the golf course for the race. There were certainly a lot of vehicles attending the IHS vs. W...
North Central dropped a pair of varsity volleyball decisions last week. The Thunder first lost to South Border at home in Eureka on Tuesday and then lost a road game on August 31 in Faulkton. The Thunder had kept things pretty close vs. their visitors from North Dakota. It was indeed a five-set outcome. South Border won 25-20 to open the evening, but the hosts would respond with a 25-23 victory and tacked on a 25-21 win to go ahead 2-1. But South Border wasn't quite ready to go home and claimed...
Ipswich was defeated in Lake Region Conference football action last Friday in Ipswich with the score being 35-6 in favor of the visiting team the powerful Warner Monarchs. That equated to five touchdowns and five perfect extra-point kicks by Alec Mikkelsen. The Monarchs had methodically manufactured their first TD a one-yard keeper by Hunter Cramer plus the first of those five accurate kicks. But Ipswich would answer with its own scoring drive capped by Max Kulesa with his two-yard scamper. But...
Ipswich entered the win-column for the first time this season in high school volleyball action vs. Waubay/Summit last Thursday in the Tiger Den. And it turned out to be a straight-sets sweep - 26-24, 25-19 and 25-20. But the visitors would hang around all evening to keep things close, particularly in the first set. Yes, Marley Guthmiller delivered that set point with her kill. Unofficially Guthmiller would end up with 10 kills in her 23-29 hitting effort. Gabby Wald was next at 18-22 with nine...

We are asking you to submit items for the newspaper by Friday afternoon due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, Sept. 4. The office will be closed on that day. Thanks for the cooperation. One down and one or two to go! That's right the Edmunds Central homecoming festivities were last week and Ipswich's event is in the near future. Which won't be that long. They say that time flies when you are having fun and maybe even faster when it isn't all that much fun. The Edmunds Central parade was sweet. How could it not be with all that candy flying...

Believe it not, we got a taker last Wednesday morning for the Wedding RSVP card we got in the office. Abigail and Mathieu were family of a local person who read “Fiddlin’ Around”. Glad we could help. We have talked about how you can see which food lines are the busiest at a fair and the reasons why. We have thought that there is indeed a reason for which lines are the longest and that would most likely be the ones with the best food. We were going to check out the Brown County Fair on Sunday the last day of the fair. It turned out to be a beaut...
Ipswich dropped a 24-6 Lake Region Conference varsity high school football decision on a very warm evening to say the least last Friday in Faulkton. Ipswich was indeed able to move the football into the red zone inside the 20-yard line especially during the second half. But the Tigers were able to produce only one touchdown drive all evening that being a third-quarter four-yard scamper by quarterback Max Kulesa. The PAT play failed, though, leaving Ipswich down 16-6 at that stage of the third...
