Ipswich fans definitely had reason to celebrate a homecourt 3-0 non-conference high school volleyball win over Highmore-Harrold last Thursday in the Tiger Den. For one thing it was the Tigers' first win of the young season and secondly the 200th career coaching victory for Coach Trent Osborne! "Yep #200," said coach Osborne. "I started way back in 1995-96 and have five different coaching stints with lots of breaks and years in between." The visiting Pirates would hang around in each of the remai...

Ipswich scored 38 first-quarter points and tacked on 16 more points in the second quarter. The IHS Tigers would have only needed their first score. That's how Ipswich again dominated the line of scrimmage from start to finish, forcing an...
