This is National Newspaper Week. Newspapers have truly been under siege the past year on many different levels. Enuff said about that! It’s also the beginning of the post-season in high school fall sports so good luck to the area cross country runners who were scheduled to run today (Oct. 10) in the regional meet in Gettysburg. And also good luck to yes, the I-EC football team which has apparently made the playoffs starting on Oct. 18 somewhere. And last, but not least, good luck to the area netters!...

Pheasant season is right around the corner! But if you are like me, you just can’t wait for that day to come. People always ask me if I like pheasant season. Pheasant season is probably the most enjoyable hunting season for me to work. It’s always fun to meet new people and visit with them about pheasant hunting. So many of these people don’t get to experience what we South Dakota folks get to experience. Most, not all, of these folks are happy to see me and visit with me. Let’s not forget that pheasant season is more about the people you are...

Ipswich won the Lady Tigers volleyball rivalry on Monday in the IHS Tiger Den with a 3-0 sweep of the visiting Mobridge-Pollock Lady Tigers. Ipswich faced an early 6-1 deficit in set one, but eventually won it 25-18. The hosts knotted it at 7-7 and took their first lead, 8-7, with a block. They gradually extended their lead to the final margin. Set number two went even more convincingly for Ipswich with a 25-16 win, capped by an Abby Grabowska tip kill. Ipswich then pulled away for a third-set...
The Ipswich Lady Tiger volleyball team finished third at the Battler Tournament, an invitational tourney in Gettysburg last Saturday. Ipswich finished 3-1 in the event with its lone loss being to Faulkton, which went on to win the entire tourney over runner-up Faith. Ipswich indeed lost its opening pool match to the Trojans 25-17 and 25-16. But the Lady Tigers regrouped for a 25-14, 25-13 win over Timber Lake, as well as a pool-play win over McIntosh 25-11, 25-16. That sent Ipswich into the third-place placement match against Herreid-Selby...
Led by Aleah Steger's course-record-setting clocking at the Lake Region Conference cross country meet at Split Rock Country Club in Ipswich last Wednesday, the IHS Lady Tigers cruised to a 10-point 9 to 19 team win over their nearest competitor Aberdeen Christian in less than optimal weather conditions. Steger's amazing 18:36.37 clocking indeed topped the previous record-holder IHS graduate Macy Heinz, now at USD, by some 14 seconds. "Aleah sure had a good run," said IHS coach Todd Thorson....
Down through the years, successful PAT plays can be hard to come by in nine-man football. And the lack of conversion points can come back to haunt you in a close game between otherwise quite equally matched teams. That is just what happened to North Border last Friday, resulting in a 14-12 Ipswich-Edmunds Central win in Eureka. Actually Ipswich-EC had gotten a real decent opportunity to take an initial lead after a scoreless first quarter where each team had tested the other teams' defense in a...
