But the hosts quickly regrouped for three straight wins —25-16, 25-21 and 25-19. Ipswich went 116-136 at the net that featured 28 kills and 19 setting assists, led by Quincy Olivier with 12 and Katie Bierman with seven.

The Ipswich cross country contingent attended a cross country event in Faulkton on September 22 more or less entered by the Ipswich runners as a JV event. But Heidi Olson of Mobridge-Pollock won the girls' varsity individually in 19:12. And Potter County won the varsity girls' team title over Aberdeen Roncalli. The varsity boys' race, meanwhile, was won by Miller's Pierce Baumberger in 17:16. And his team comfortably led those standings 10 to 21 over the runners-up from Northwestern Area. But there were no fewer than five IHS girls in their JV...
Check out the Photo Gallery for more photos of the Tigers' game in Aberdeen. Ipswich found itself in an unaccustomed position in a high school showdown of two unbeaten football teams last Friday at Northern's new stadium. 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...
Ipswich placed second in both the girls and boys varsity cross country runs during the Potter County Invitational on Saturday in Gettysburg. Ashlinn Hartwell individually placed fourth in the 5K in 20:46.17, won by Autumn Fallis of Highmore-Harrold in 19:28.93. Madisyn Gellhaus was sixth in 20:59.86 and Gracyn Kadlec was eighth in 21:33.38, all in the Top 10. The girls were second to Potter County, 12 to 15. Ipswich would then also place second as a team in the varsity boys' outcome to...
The Ipswich football team avenged its losses last season vs. Warner with a convincing 34-6 win over the Monarchs that would certainly cap off the Tigers' Gala Day festivities. The visitors' lone score would come late in the second quarter, a Peyton Jung six-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Cramer. That lone scoring opportunity had been enabled by a Tiger fumble. But Ipswich would still lead 20-6 at the half and would need to fend off the Monarchs early in the second half when another Warner...
Ipswich hosted a Subway Invitational high school volleyball tournament last Saturday in the Tiger Den. It was a busy day indeed with action in both gyms. Ipswich ended up in fifth this year thanks to a 2-1 fifth place win over Herreid/Selby Area in their placement match. Aberdeen Christian won the event 2-0 over Kimball/White Lake. And Langford Area topped Milbank 2-1 for third. The seventh place game was won by Lemmon over Leola/Frederick Area. Ipswich placed two players on the All-Tournament...
It was that time of the year on Ipswich's varsity volleyball schedule to face a pair of perennially talented Lake Region Conference opponents. And that would prove to be the case again this season. Ipswich was indeed defeated 3-0 at Warner last Tuesday and also lost in straight sets to Northwestern Area back home in the friendly confines of the Tiger Den two nights later. But Ipswich had some positives in both instances. The Tigers lost to the Monarchs 25-17, 25-12 and a much closer 25-22 verdict in the final set that evening. And in the match...
Ipswich edged Sully Buttes 3-1 in non-conference high school varsity volleyball action at Sully Buttes last Tuesday. The match opened with 25-17 victory for Ipswich that was capped by a set-point service error on Sully Buttes. But the hosts quickly regrouped and living up to their nickname Chargers they charged back for a 25-21 win of set number #2 which was punctuated by a set-point hitting error on Ipswich. Ipswich clawed back also living up to its mascot name Tigers and captured a somewhat easier 25-16 victory in set #3 ended with a Quincy...
Ipswich manfactured a 48-0 varsity football win over Northwestern last Friday in Mellette. It was a LRC league showdown. The Tigers will have another league clash this Friday in Ipswich. The Tigers will meet Warner in the Gala Day game at 7 p.m. Meanwhile Ipswich kept its record unblemished with the win at Northwestern. The Tigers’ first lead would be 6-0 when Ian Beyers passed to Ty Kadlec for a 15-yard TD aerial strike. Luke Peterson’s conversion run would put Ipswich up 8-0. Ipswich later forced a fumble near midfield and that pos...

Ipswich won the Battle of Highway 45 in non-conference high school girls' volleyball action in the Tiger Den last Thursday. How's that? The Tigers topped Sunshine Bible Academy, located south of Miller, in straight sets 25-11, 25-4 and 25-14, as the visiting Crusaders valiantly attempted to get back into contention. (The Tigers had been simply over-powering in the second set.) The individual set points? "Game one was a Net Fault on them as they were trying to block Tasia (Rivera)," explained...

Ipswich hosted a high school cross country meet at Split Rock last Saturday. The IHS Tiger boys were able to place second as a team that day, second only to Miller's seven team points.

Meanwhile the IHS varsity girls were able to land in third place with their 21 points. This event was won by Potter County with eight...
Ipswich defeated Groton Area 3-1 in a high school volleyball battle of the Big Cats last Friday in Ipswich. Yes, Ipswich indeed rose to the occasion against a Class A opponent, always nice when it comes to calculating SDHSAA seeding points. That lone set that Groton won would be the opener 25-23 in what could obviously had gone either way. But Ipswich came roaring back with a decisive 25-13 victory over Groton in set number two. The host Tigers would indeed double Groton 10-5 at one juncture of...
You could say that Ipswich won the Battle of Highway 12 in high school volleyball outcomes last week in the Tiger Den. That's because Ipswich defeated Groton Area earlier in the week and then topped that with a 3-0 sweep of Waubay/Summit two nights later. But the W/S Mustangs were not an easy out. They took the Tigers to 25-23 in the opening set that was capped by a Quincy Olivier kill immediately after a Katie Bierman kill. Ipswich was however able to jump out to a solid start in set number two with a 16-5 lead before the visitors began to...
Ipswich fans definitely had reason to celebrate a homecourt 3-0 non-conference high school volleyball win over Highmore-Harrold last Thursday in the Tiger Den. For one thing it was the Tigers' first win of the young season and secondly the 200th career coaching victory for Coach Trent Osborne! "Yep #200," said coach Osborne. "I started way back in 1995-96 and have five different coaching stints with lots of breaks and years in between." The visiting Pirates would hang around in each of the remai...
Ipswich dropped its opening high school volleyball encounter last Tuesday in Aberdeen. The Tiger girls were defeated in straight sets 25-14, 25-15, 25-12 by a Lake Region Conference opponent Aberdeen Christian. At one juncture of the opening set Ipswich only trailed 14-12, but the Knights were able to grab the momentum and more or less maintain it the rest of the evening. But Kaitlyn Bierman had four of Ipswich's 10 kills and was 12-17 overall at the net. Ipswich finished 59-76 in net play. But the hosts were able to obtain 38 kills, led by Mar...
Ipswich improved to 2-0 in high school varsity football action thus far in its 2021 schedule. This was thanks to a 54-0 shutout of visiting Dupree in a non- conference battle of the Tigers last Friday in Ipswich. (This game was shortened due to the mercy rule.) Ipswich scored 38 first-quarter points and tacked on 16 more points in the second quarter. The IHS Tigers would have only needed their first score. That's how Ipswich again dominated the line of scrimmage from start to finish, forcing an...
The Ipswich cross country contingent attended an invitational in Pierre last Friday. They split up their entrants there so as to obtain more experience against runners from all the different divisions that ranged from high school varsity down to the middle-school divisions. Ipswich didn't enter any of its girls into the varsity meet at Pierre, but Ashlinn Hartwell won the girls' JV division, conquering the 4K course in 17:46.87. Madisyn Gellhaus placed fourth in the same division in 18:18.42, where Gracyn Kadlec was fifth in 18:30.47....
Hard work pays dividends in any high school varsity sport, but this is particularly true in cross country. And 10 Ipswich girls' varsity runners have already been busy during pre-season practice sessions, along with six IHS varsity boys. That Tiger girls' roster lists just two senior girls, Chloe Jager and Makala DeRaad and there is a lone varsity senior boy, Taylor Thorson. But each team returns a lot of firepower and varsity experience. (The Ipswich girls indeed placed third in the 2020 State...
Ipswich played nearly error-free football in a high school football season opening win last Friday in Langford. Their efficiency with the football, including minimal penalties, was impressive resulting in a 50-8 LRC victory. The Tigers controlled the line of scrimmage on boh sides of the ball. Ipswich showed that early on by forcing a Lion punt attempt. It was blocked, giving the Tigers the ball at the Lions’ 20 for the Tigers’ first red-zone scoring opportunity. The short drive was capped by a Luke Peterson three-yard run and Ian Beyers pas...
Whereas this year's Ipswich High School football team is dominated by upperclassmen, the Tiger girls' volleyball program will be relatively youthful. That's right,the 2021 Tiger netters' roster currently features a lone senior in the person of Tasia Rivera. "The 2021 Tigers will look very different than they have over the past few years, but there is plenty to be excited about," predicts coach Trent Osborne. "Some familiar faces will need to step up as leaders and be the driving force behind the...
Yes, it is that time of the year! It's the fall sports season, which features all that South Dakota Friday night high school football drama, culminating with the post-season playoffs and a possible trip to the Dome for the various state championships. Ipswich/Edmunds Central got fairly deep into the 9A playoffs last year as a co-op, but this season Ipswich will be going it alone, while moving up into the 9AA ranks. But a strong nucleus from that team will be returning this year, hoping to do som...
