We are saddened to print the obituaries of two Roscoe business persons who we worked with during our years at Gibson Publishing. We worked with Bernice Hettick while she was at Roscoe Hardware and with John Beyers at First State Bank of Roscoe. We were honored to know them both. Our condolences to their families. They were both community boosters and were interested in school activities. Particularly those who were members of their extended families! I’m sure that when they could, they enjoyed following those teams. Speaking of sports teams, t...
From the Ipswich Tribune March 1, 1928 edition A MAN'S PRAYER Teach me that sixty minutes makes an hour, sixteen ounces one pound and one hundred cents one dollar. Help me so to live that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my pillow and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. Grant that I may earn my meal-ticket on the square, and that in earning it I may do unto others as I would have them do unto me. Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and to the rustle of unholy skirts. Blind me to...

Ipswich had begun its 2021 Region 2B boys' high school basketball campaign with a narrow 54-48 win over the Faulkton Area Trojans last Tuesday in the Tiger Den. (Ipswich entered the tourney as the overall third seed and Faulkton was the number six seed.) The visitors certainly made things quite interesting in the final quarter. They did that with a huge trey that evened the score at 48 apiece. But that would prove to be their final scoring damage in the closing minute or so. That's because Eric...
Ipswich dropped a Region 2B boys' high school bracket championship game to Lower Brule by a 60-48 margin there last Friday. What was notable about the verdict was that Ipswich had lost a regular-season encounter to Lower Brule by a fairly similar margin at home in the Tiger Den. So the 2B defeat finished Ipswich's 2020-21 campaign at 15-7 and advanced the Sioux into one of the SoDak 16 encounters. The Potter County Battlers had easily handled Herreid/Selby Area in the other 2B bracket that same night to also punch their ticket into the SoDak...

The Herreid/Selby Area Wolverine girls were able to hang on to win their SoDak 16 battle with Menno, winning a close one that went down to the final possession, as close games so often do. But last year's girls' State B qualifier Faulkton was eliminated by Ethan in their 2021 SoDak 16 showdown. Here's why Region 2B will only send one team to the boys' B, Potter County or Lower Brule! The 2B bracket champions, were to...
