This is homecoming week in Ipswich and next week at Edmunds Central, so good luck in all your homecoming activities in both instances. The IHS senior royalty crowned on Monday were Queen Kamryn Heinz and King Ben Kulesa. And Edmunds Central will reveal its own homecoming royalty identities during a coronation program on Sunday evening. Of course that could mean a parade or two in the next couple of weeks. Or actually three, counting the NSU Gypsy Day parade! We hear drum cadences outside the back door of our office so I imagine that bands are...
What a difference a year makes! Last year the Ipswich Lady Tiger netters were 1-3 during a high school volleyball invitation at Britton-Hecla. This year, though, the IHS volleyball team improved to 3-1 at the meet, losing only to Langford Area. That gave Ipswich second-place honors at the event and also congratulations go to Ipswich coach Trent Osborne for his 150th career volleyball victory. Against Leola-Frederick, Ipswich won 25-10 and 25-16. Abby Grabowska was 36-40 in hitting and included a dozen kills. Lindsey Grabowska added four kills...
In preparing for last Saturday's Britton-Hecla volleyball invite, Ipswich dropped a pair of Lake Region Conference decisions, one at home and the other on the road. The Lady Tigers lost in straight sets in both instances.

Against Warner, though, despite the eventual setback, things progressively got better for the Lady Tigers. Especially...
Ipswich-Edmunds Central traveled to Miller for a non-conference high school football game last Friday, but the hosts weren't very generous. Miller/Highmore-Harrold jumped off to a 14-0 first-quarter lead. They added three second-quarter scoring opportunities, while I-EC got on the board once before the half to face a 36-8 halftime deficit. The hosts also outscored the Tigers 12-8 in the third quarter for a comfortable 32-point lead and neither team was able to score in the final stanza, resulting in a 48-16 hosts' win. For I-EC, Ben Kulesa...
