All of the local high school autumn sports team have either started or will be soon be starting their post-season competitions and one state meet is already scheduled for this weekend — the cross country meet near Rapid City on Saturday. That wind was something else during the regional meet in Gettysburg, but Ipswich braved the wind and then some, qualifying its entire girls and boys teams for that state meet. And the North Central Thunder had two girls in the varsity regional meet competing for experience for next year and one boy (Alec M...
"It was a good race today for the Tigers," said Ipswich cross country coach Todd Thorson, regarding the IHS team results at the Region 4B meet in Gettysburg last Wednesday. "Both boys and girls teams qualified for state." What that essentially means is that both the IHS girls and boys will send their entire teams to the State B in Rapid City, scheduled for October 24 in Rapid City.

They lost to Estelline/Hendricks 25-21 and 25-23 and also lost to the host team 25-17 and 25-13. Against EH, Ipswich's hitting leaders were Paige Mehlber...

When it was all said and done the Lady Patriots outlasted Ipswich in straight sets, 25-13, 26-24 and 26-24.
