It traditionally doesn't snow all that much in January, just like it sometimes doesn't rain all that much in July. That is considered to be what's normal, if you can call anything about the weather normal nowadays. So far this month (and year), what we've had for moisture has been somewhat of a wintry mix and not all that much yet. But it certainly doesn't take much of that to make the roads a mess. Especially because it has been fairly mild in the late afternoon the past few days and sometimes with quite strong wind gusts. And if there wasn't...

Ipswich had mixed results in a pair of recent boys' basketball outcomes. The Tiger boys indeed outscored Ethan 61-52 in a classic in Huron on January 3 and then a night later they dropped a non-conference outcome 59-50 to Waubay/Summit on Saturday evening in Waubay. Versus Ethan, Ipswich doubled the Rustlers 18-9 in the opening quarter and still led 32-24 at the half. But Ethan turned the tables with a 21-13 third-quarter scoring edge that would put the game up for grabs. Ipswich restored order, though, with a 16-7 advantage down the stretch...
The Ipswich girls' basketball team swept its two recent games to improve to 4-2 overall. Huron was able to hold its classics on January 3 and Ipswich won its girls' game over Sanborn Central/ Woonsocket 45-33 there. This win featured an overall defensive effort from the Tiger girls and they indeed delivered. And some defense down the stretch didn't hurt Ipswich at all in a hard-fought girls' 43-41 outcome on the road vs. Waubay/Summit in Waubay a night later. "We got up four from the FT line. They made a shot at the end to make it two points,"...
