There's not much louder that a thunderous volleyball spike and cross country running is often accompanied by the sounds of a coaches voice offering advice and encouragement. Football has its own set of sounds, especially during the conditioning drills. And Thunder is even the nickname of one area sports co-op teams who are probably along with their parents hoping for some real thunder as it still remains rather dry in our area. And...

If the boy unhappily is vicious, intemperate, or destructive, he will find in his voiceless associate a wordless rebuke for the sins of his...

For families who could not make it to...
Yes, it is that time of the year! It's the fall sports season, which features all that South Dakota Friday night high school football drama, culminating with the post-season playoffs and a possible trip to the Dome for the various state championships. Ipswich/Edmunds Central got fairly deep into the 9A playoffs last year as a co-op, but this season Ipswich will be going it alone, while moving up into the 9AA ranks. But a strong nucleus from that team will be returning this year, hoping to do som...
