The equinox is just approaching, but you already know that with the cool temps in the morning and evenings. And you don’t want to be driving west on the Highway at sunset. I’m not sure if that is the case at sunrise heading east. I won’t be finding that out anytime soon. Our days are getting shorter too. There are stories that you can balance an egg on the spring equinox. I’m not sure that is true for the autumn. But maybe you’d rather eat the egg in a fried egg sandwich or make a hard-boiled egg. You certainly don’t have to wait until Easte...

The NC Thunder topped Langford Area in straight sets during LRC volleyball action last Tuesday at home in Eureka. But the visitors were definitely able to hang in all three sets. The Thunder would create identical 25-23 wins in each of the first two sets. And the Thunder would settle the matter with a little easier 25-19 third-set victory. The North Central netters were led by Amree Vander Vorst with nine kills in her 16-19 night at the net. Next would be Ella Batie at 14-16 there with three kills. (They totaled a 54-69 hitting evening that...
Ipswich was defeated in each of its three Subway volleyball tournament pool play appearances last Saturday in the Tiger Den.

And more importantly they actually won set two 25-17 to force a third set. But this one would be eventually won by...

Despite giving up a harmless last minute touchdown, the Ipswich Tiger football team came away with an impressive 44-20 road win vs. Herreid/Selby Area and were still able to line up in their victory formation last Friday. One reason had to be Trevor Heinz setting a school reception record of 15 catches. They totaled 168 yards which was second best all time. (#2 behind Todd Miller’s 210 yards.) Of course that meant that quarterback Max Kulesa wouldn't have too bad of an evening himself finishing with 19 completions in 30 tries for 290 yards. C...
