  • Ipswich girls stop Patriots at home

    Dec 16, 2020

    The Ipswich girls' basketball team improved to 2-0 with a convincing 51-30 win over Hitchcock-Tulare here Saturday.

But the IHS contingent came out firing on all cylinders with an 18-2 edge in the second stanza. Ipswich's initial double-figure lead was 21-9 thanks to a Bailey Pitz trey. And after leading 29-11 at the half Ipswich also won the third-quarter scoring battle 14-8...

  • Tigers get win in season opener

    Dec 16, 2020

    Ipswich tipped off its girls' varsity basketball season with a hard-fought 52-47 win over potential Region 2B rival Sully Buttes last Tuesday in Onida.

The score was tied five times with seven lead changes and ended up within two possessions. Ipswich's largest lead would briefly be by 10 points. Ipswich had led 14-10 after a quarter and also narrowly won the second quarter 17-16 for a 31-26 edge at...

    -deg|Dec 16, 2020

    What more could you ask from a close game other than maybe an overtime or two? But the Ipswich boys indeed held on to stave off Waubay/Summit 54-53 last Saturday in Ipswich. And it was that close to an OT. Josh McQuarie gave the Tigers a late 54-52 edge, giving the visitors a last possession. It would result in a visiting player being fouled, sending him to the line. The first one did find its target, but the second foul shot attempt narrowly missed with no opportunity for an offensive rebound...
