Apparently the ground hog was too busy watching the Super Bowl or maybe would just like to fill his soup bowl one more time to take the time to see his shadow on Sunday. Somebody mentioned that this was the first-ever Ground Hog Day on Super Sunday, and I definitely believe that could be true. What a coincidence! Most people if they were outdoors over the weekend and even into Monday were blinded by a UFO (otherwise known as the sun). We surely hadn't seen much of that bright yellow orb for several days. But we still had some healthy wind...

Josh McQuarie then chimed in with a layup before the visitors would respond with a two-point basket. But they...
The Ipswich girls' basketball team was defeated in its lone appearance last week, a hard-fought 54-47 setback to Region 2B rival Herreid/ Selby Area in Selby.

But the host team out-pointed its visitors 12-9 in the second quarter to grab a somewhat tenuous one-possession 27-24 halftime lead. The Wolverine girls then out-scored Ipswich 19-7 with a quarter to play for a 46-31 edge. But Ipswich fought back furiously in the final quarter...
