Ipswich had begun its 2021 Region 2B boys' high school basketball campaign with a narrow 54-48 win over the Faulkton Area Trojans last Tuesday in the Tiger Den. (Ipswich entered the tourney as the overall third seed and Faulkton was the number six seed.) The visitors certainly made things quite interesting in the final quarter.

Ipswich dropped a Region 2B boys' high school bracket championship game to Lower Brule by a 60-48 margin there last Friday.

Ipswich captured a 63-43 non-conference boys' high school basketball win over the Miller Rustlers last Thursday in the Tiger Den.
