Is this latest iteration of February weather rather surreal? We go from where we had experienced at least 12 straight days with a below zero low in Ipswich to Monday's near 60 above afternoon high. But that was only if you could actually see to read the thermometer and why was that? Blowing dust that's why! And this is the time of year when post-season athletic events can and would ordinarily be hampered with reduced visibility due to blowing snow, not dirt. I guess we'll have to check out the advance forecasts more carefully, because this is...

The Ipswich Tiger boys varsity outlasted Herreid/ Selby Area 41-40 in a non-conference Warner Classic basketball clash last Saturday in Warner. The opening half was sort of a tale of two quarters.

The second half proved to be a lot tighter with HSA actually grabbing a 32-31 lead with a quarter to play. But Ipswich won the final quarter's scoring battle 10-8 to...

The Ipswich varsity girls' basketball team got back into the win column with a 49-45 homecourt win over Highmore-Harrold last Tuesday. The score was tied three times and the lead changed hands eight times. There could have been one more tie, as H-H would climb to within two points, 41-39, with a trey. And the Pirates did get a stop, giving them possession of the basketball to either tie or go up by one. But that opportunity didn't materialize, as Ipswich would score eight straight points. That...

Ipswich was led by Halle Heinz and Katie Bierman with 20...
