Ipswich participated in Tuesday and Thursday high school volleyball action last week - one match away from home and the other in the Tiger Den. Unfortunately they were both setbacks.

Ipswich obtained a huge Lake Region Conference high school football win over Leola/Frederick Area last Friday in Leola by a final margin of 62-20. The game was indeed somewhat closer than that final score would indicate as the two league rivals had traded early blows. Ipswich had jumped ahead with a 30-yard TD run by Carson Gohl and Ian Beyers passed to Matthew Jaenisch for the PAT points. But the Titans matched that with their own 49-yard TD carry by Hans Lapka, followed by a Jericho King PAT carry still in the first quarter. Lapka would...

Trailing early instead of leading, the Tigers did an admirable job of battling back before eventually dropping a 46-28 decision to powerful Herreid/Selby Area. Turnovers can be a determining factor in an otherwise close game and that certainly would be true Friday evening. The...
