    -deg|Oct 14, 2020

They got a kill from Lyndsey Grabowska for their initial 25-22 set-point and also outlasted the Trojans 28-26 in the second set, thanks to Kate Geditz's kill from the same side. The third set eventually also w...

    -deg|Oct 14, 2020

    Monday's high school volleyball match in Ipswich turned out to be a classic clash of the Tigers. Class A Mobridge-Pollock and Ipswich both entered the match with only two losses.

The IHS Tigers held on for a 25-22 win in a back and forth opening set and then staged a late rally to out-last the M-P netters 27-25 to go ahead 2-0 in the match. And that disappointing loss seemed to deflate the visitors'...

    -deg|Oct 14, 2020

    A pair of high school football once-beatens did battle last Friday in Selby on a beautiful evening for football. And the Herreid/Selby Wolverines topped the Ipswich/Edmunds Central Tigers by a 34-16 verdict. That improved the hosts' season record to 6-1, while the Tigers dropped to 5-2. Trailing 20-8 at the halftime break, Ipswich/Edmunds Central methodically put together a scoring drive that had started on their own 27.
