The early printing deadline for this week's editions meant that details of last weekend's sports schedules were unavailable in time for that deadline. But we can indeed say this — the North Central Thunder boys' basketball team made a trip into North Dakota last Thursday and came home with a 60-46 victory over South Border. Meanwhile, the Ipswich varsity hoops' teams split a home-court twinbill vs. Webster Area last Saturday. The Tiger girls won their varsity outcome 62-51, but the Webster boys held on for a 71-66 victory over the Tigers. T...
The Christmas and New Years seasons are quickly arriving or have arrived, hence our early deadline for the newspaper editions this week and next. The deadline for next week is noon on Friday.

If you're a fan of close high school basketball outcomes and who isn't, the Lake Region Conference and potential Region 2B girls' rivalry between North Central and Ipswich last Tuesday in Ipswich should have been right up your alley. Ipswich indeed held on for a 45-43 win over the Thunder. The visitors had just deadlocked this game for the upteenth time (11 times to be exact) and there were as many or more lead changes in the highly contested clash. But the Tigers had Halle Heinz create and she...

The Ipswich boys' second Lake Region Conference basketball win last week wasn't quite as easy as the Tigers' initial league win over North Central a couple of nights earlier. For one thing it was a December 19 road trip to Langford Area, instead of the comfortable familiarity of the Tiger Den. But Ipswich indeed staved off Langford in overtime on the Lions' own floor by a 55-51 two-possession margin. Ipswich had led 12-8 after a quarter and enjoyed a narrow 26-25 halftime lead. The Tigers then had a really productive third quarter for a 42-31...
