Ipswich-Edmunds Central dropped a 40-8 Lake Region Conference high school football showdown to Faulkton Area last Friday in Ipswich. The hosts were really stingy defensively for much of the first half, but so was Faulkton. Especially after the Trojans had fumbled on their own 37, recovered by Josh McQuarie on Faulkton's opening possession of the game! That would be the first red zone bullet the Trojans would dodge, but not the last. Later in the half, the visiting defensive unit stopped a Tiger...
Ipswich won both of its two high school volleyball matches last week and again fed off senior Abby Grabowska's relentless net attack. Grabowska had entered the week needing just 12 kills to become a member of the 1000 career kills club and the first-ever IHS player to be a member of both the 1000 career digs club and the 1000 career kills plateau. Abby Grabowska got her necessary kills and then some against Sully Buttes here last Tuesday in a highly contested non-league battle, which featured a...

Indeed Lady Tiger senior Aleah Steger crossed the finish line first in 19:10.66, followed by Tessa Kilber in second at 20:06.36 and Emily DeRaad, third...
Yesterday was Patriot Day, as you are beginning to see in print on a lot of September calendars. And no it's not homecoming for Hitchcock-Tulare or Eureka/Bowdle. That's because Patriot Day has become the name for the 9-ll attacks on American soil and the Governor had asked South Dakotans to fly their flag at half mast in memory of the casualties. Patriot Day does seem to be evolving into a true holiday observance, similar to Veterans Day and Memorial Day and probably should. That's because the aftermath of the 9/11 attack has become an...
