The high school indoor sports seasons are underway. And there are plenty of contests left in the 2020 portion of their schedules. So hopefully Santa will bring some Christmas presents in the form of wins. The Tiger mat team has had some individual placements in its first couple of outings and their girls and boys basketball team has had some early signs of success. Meanwhile, the North Central Thunder hoops teams will hopefully get a visit from Santa as well, and coincidentally North Central was actually slated to host Ipswich in a girls/boys...

The Ipswich/Bowdle 2020-21 high school wrestling schedule will begin on Saturday, Dec. 5 at Stanley County. The event will be a limited spectator event due to covid.

One down and one to go. What I'm referring were the remaining high school state athletic tournaments for the fall season. Football championships were decided last weekend in Vermillion and this week will be the state volleyball tournaments, including the State B in Huron. The 9A football game in our division turned out to be a total defensive struggle with Warner coming out on the short end of the scoreboard, losing only to the defending champions from Canistota/Freeman last Thursday in the Dome. You don't expect low scoring in nine-man format...

Let's hope this turns out to be true this year: "You call my candidate a horse thief, and I call yours a lunatic, and both of us know it's just till election day. It's an American custom, like eating corn on the cob. And, afterwards, we settle down quite peaceably and agree we've got a pretty good country —until next election." I couldn't have said that any better myself, because these words were penned by Stephen Vincent Benèt an American poet, writer and novelist, who once received the Pulitzer Prize for his epic poem "John Brown's Body". Or...

You just knew that Ipswich/Edmunds Central and Warner would battle down to the wire in a Class 9A second-round high school football play-off game in Warner last Thursday. And they would do exactly as predicted with Warner escaping with a 20-14 win! In a game of this magnitude turnovers often play a role in the eventual outcome and that was true in that game. And there were some impressive fourth-down defensive stands by both teams. As well as some costly penalties at inopportune times! For...
