Ipswich will indeed be eligible for the girls/boys combined team award at the October 22 State B cross country meet in Huron. How's that? The Tiger girls narrowly finish fourth as a team at the Region 1B in Webster last Wednesday, but individually qualified three runners in the Top 20. And the IHS boys? They will also advance three individual runners out of the region by finishing in their top 20 at the regional meet, the bare minimum of three entrants needed for team scoring purposes at the...
Ipswich lost a five-set high school non-conference varsity outcome to Hitchcock-Tulare at Tulare last Thursday. "Volleyball is one of the few sports that you can score more points than the other team and still lose," explained Coach Trent Osborne. "We outscored them 103 -101 but just didn’t score at the right times." What happened was that Ipswich got behind with 25-22 and 25-21 losses. But the Tigers regrouped to win set three 25-17 and set four 25-19. That evened things at 2-2, but the Patriots would prevail 15-10 in the tie-breaker set. O...
North Central lost a 74-22 Lake Region Conference high school football outcome to Ipswich at Ipswich last Friday.

Ipswich was able to place fifth at a Battler invitational volleyball tourney last Saturday in Gettysburg. The Tigers capped this event with a 25-21, 25-19 consolation victory over the host team. Needless to say Coach Trent Osborne was quite happy about that, finishing with a 2-2 record there. "A spirited and more intense group showed up at the tourney," he said. "We had a lot of great possessions and came away from the day a much better team than we have been recently. We finished the day as consolation champs but played much better than our...
Ipswich won a girls' volleyball clash 3-2 over Mobridge-Pollock in a battle of the Tigers Monday in the Tiger Den. Volleyball matches can and often do have some momentum changes, especially those that go the distance and that was certainly true of Monday's match. This marathon had multiple momentum swings even within an individual set. That was certainly true in the fifth set tie-breaker. Ipswich gets down 5-0 right away in the OT where Gracie Lange finally gets Ipswich on the board with her kill and after that Lange would end the set and...

Ipswich attended a cross country invite at Webster last Tuesday that was run under Class A team scoring criteria. That required a minimum of four runners, not just three like in Class B hosted meets.

They lost to Herreid/Selby Area 25-18 and 26-24 to get fourth place. Versus Langford Ipswich was...
Having to face Warner and Northwestern in high school volleyball with a day of rest between them was no picnic last week. But that might have been a little better than meeting the two powerful LRC league foes on consecutive nights. At any rate Northwestern swept Ipswich 3-0 last Thursday at Northwestern, similar to Warner's straight sets win at Ipswich two nights earlier. (Northwestern's respective set score leads were 25-15, 25-9 and 25-16.) The Wildcats were 73-84 at the net with 32 kills, while Ipswich went 77-92 with 21 kills -- quite...

And Lucas Rowland added a conversion carry for an 8-0 lead. And that would really...
Ipswich won two high school volleyball individual matches last week, which was indeed homecoming week. The Tigers started their busy week with a homecourt 3-1 victory over Sully Buttes last Tuesday.
