Can you believe it the holiday season is done and we are actually in a new year, so happy new year. I once had a landlady that would always say "I would like to be the first person to wish you a Happy New Year." The only problem with that was that she was still saying that well into the spring.

Just this week we noticed in the Selby paper where the Selby Commercial Club is sponsoring a Bargain Day feature. All Selby business men are uniting to make this a red letter day for Selby. Ipswich should enter into such a...
Ipswich raced out to a 67-20 boys' varsity win over McIntosh in a battle of the Tigers last Friday during the Sacred Hoops contest at the Srode Center in Aberdeen. It was a huge win for new head coach Stewart Bohle because it was his 200th career win as a coach (all in girls' basketball) including a pair of state titles. McIntosh would come up way short in this battle of the Tigers. That's because Ipswich would grab an early 20-8 first-quarter lead and it was all downhill after that. Ipswich would lead 39-10 at intermission and then go ahead...
