Ipswich split two boys' high school basketball decisions last week. Both of them were relatively narrow two-possession non-conference outcomes. The Tiger boys initially handed Potter County a 73-67 setback there on February 20, but two days later dropped a 45-39 outcome to Waverly-South Shore in the Warner-Stratfords Lions Club Boys Classic. In that instance Ipswich senior player Jordan Richardt was awarded a Warner-Stratford Lions Club Senior Scholarship, announced during the game. First of...
The Ipswich Lady Tigers' girls' basketball team swept a pair of overtime road victories last week to close out their regular-season schedule at 15-5. That's not a typo, believe it or not! The IHS girls indeed capped their regular-season's final week with a pair of wins, topping Highmore-Harrold 53-46 in OT at Highmore last Tuesday and following that with a 63-58 OT thriller two nights later on the road against Potter County. (They were coincidentally scheduled to host H-H in a Region 2B bracket semi-final on Tuesday in Ipswich.) Both of the 2B...

The Ipswich Area Wrestling co-op competed on Saturday, Feb. 22 in Sisseton at the Region 1B Tournament, led by senior Carter Heinz's runner-up finish at 195. To earn a trip to the State Meet, wrestlers still indeed need to place in the top four in their weight class. But new to the regional tournaments this year was wrestling-off the fifth- and sixth-place positions in each class. The top-seeded fifth-place wrestler from all the regions could compete at state as an alternate if a wrestler in...
The IHS girls' basketball team had a busy week last week as their regular-season schedule began to wind down. But the bottom line was that they won all three of their games. The Tiger girls indeed saw action on three different days, capped by a Warner-Stratford Lions Classic appearance in Warner on Saturday vs. Wolsey-Wessington. A highlight of that game besides the eventual 50-40 non-conference IHS victory was that IHS senior Tessa Kilber was awarded a Warner-Stratford Lions Senior...
Ipswich received split outcomes in its pair of boys ' high school basketball appearances last week. The Tiger boys indeed gave the Sully Buttes Chargers all they wanted and then some before evetually dropping a 52-44 outcome here last Friday. But the Tigers had handed Sunshine Bible Academy a 61-44 setback at Miller a night earlier on February 13. Ipswich had led its hosts 17-15 in the opening quarter of action and added a 22-12 second-quarter scoring edge for a 39-27 advantage at intermission....
The Ipswich Area (Ipswich/Leola/Bowdle) high-school wrestling cooperative will compete in the Region 1B meet on Saturday, Feb. 22 in Sisseton, beginning at 9 a.m. The top four wrestlers in each weight class there will earn trips to the State B scheduled for Feb. 27-29 in Sioux Falls. Carter Heinz, a senior, was able to do exactly that, in last year's State B, where he was even able to earn a placement. And the entire team has shown some gradual improvement this year compared to last season. So Heinz would no doubt like to have some company in...
The Ipswich Area varsity wrestlers competed February 6 in the Lake Region Conference dual tournament in Warner. The team split the evening winning against Warner/ Northwestern and losing to Faulkton Area. The wrestlers returned to Warner on February 7 for a quadrangular against Warner/Northwestern, Britton-Hecla and Potter County. The Ipswich Area team won all three of their duals on Friday night.

Ipswich got in some boys' high school basketball action last week with a 66-50 non-conference win at Miller last Friday. The Tiger boys indeed jumped out to a solid 19-13 first-quarter advantage and then fashioned a 23-14 second-quarter edge to further their lead. Miller countered with a 10-8 third-quarter edge, which would prove to be overshadowed by Ipswich's 16-13 scoring lead during the final quarter. Ipswich's largest lead in the game was 19 points late in that quarter. Miller's largest lead (early in the game) was only three points. Ipswi...
Ipswich snared a pair of girls' high-school basketball wins last week. One was a 61-22 league win at home vs. Leola/Frederick on Tuesday, Feb. 4, followed by a much closer 48-43 non-league win over Miller on Friday in Miller. The latter verdict only produced three Ipswich scorers, but when you are led by 35 points from Halle Heinz that could be enough against a lot of opponents on a given night (including Miller). Heinz included six treys. But further IHS scoring tapered off to eight points...
The Ipswich Area Wrestlers traveled to Groton for their final regular-season tournament of the year on February 1 and four of them received placements, led by Carter Heinz who placed first in his 195-lb. division. Tanner Frickson finished second at 126, Brady Unser third at 106 and Matthew McCloud fourth at 182. This is the first time McCloud has earned a place on the podium in a varsity tournament in his career. Darrel Yost had a huge first-round win but was not quite able to make it to the...
Ipswich split a pair of boys high school non-conference decisions recently. The Tigers traveled to Herreid/Selby Area last Friday and sustained a 58-44 setback, but regrouped for an impressive 75-43 win over Highmore-Harrold Saturday afternoon in the Tiger Den. Ipswich got the latter outcome off to a quick 7-0 start with a basket by Will Kadlec, followed by his basket plus foul shot. Josh McQuarie then chimed in with a layup before the visitors would respond with a two-point basket. But they...
The Ipswich girls' basketball team was defeated in its lone appearance last week, a hard-fought 54-47 setback to Region 2B rival Herreid/ Selby Area in Selby. As you might possible guess, the first quarter had decided nothing with both teams coming away with 15 points. But the host team out-pointed its visitors 12-9 in the second quarter to grab a somewhat tenuous one-possession 27-24 halftime lead. The Wolverine girls then out-scored Ipswich 19-7 with a quarter to play for a 46-31 edge. But Ipswich fought back furiously in the final quarter...

Ipswich swept a homecourt girls/boys Saturday afternoon varsity basketball doubleheader vs. James Valley Christian last Saturday in the Tiger Den. The girls topped their visitors 45-35 and the boys held on for a hard-fought 58-51 victory. A highlight of the girls' outcome was that junior sharpshooter Halle Heinz broke her own sister Kamryn's career three-point field goals record and had obtained 154 career treys, as of our newspaper deadline at least. But talking about treys, teammate Bailey Pitz got Ipswich off to a good start with a trey of...
The Ipswich Area varsity wrestling team wrestled on Tuesday, January 21 and Saturday the 26th last week.

The team got 12th out of 18 placers with 43 team points. Individually Carter Heinz...
An Ipswich vs. Groton Area girls/boys basketball clash of the Tigers on Tuesday, Jan. 21 in Groton produced mixed results. (And they were both one-point outcomes.) Ipswich indeed escaped with a 41-40 non-conference girls' win over its hosts, but dropped a 55-54 boys' verdict in the nightcap game. And the Groton boys remained undefeated after that narrow come-from behind boys' win. But getting back to the girls' verdict! Halle Heinz highlighted it with her 1,000th career point and finished with a 19-point evening, concluding with a huge basket...

Ipswich hosted a girls/boys Lake Region Conference showdown with Faulkton Area last Thursday in the Tiger Den, games that could also possibly affect the Region 2B power rankings. Faulkton gradually pulled away from the Tiger girls for an eventual 48-31 victory, despite a game-ending trey by Ipswich's Kate Geditz. The visitors had led 14-10 after a quarter, but only scored one point in the second quarter, compared to Ipswich's nine-point scoring burst, capped by Halle Heinz with six straight...
Records can be deceiving, especially when two traditional Lake Region Conference high school basketball rivals lock horns. That was the scenario last Thursday in Mellette, where the Ipswich Tiger girls' basketball team escaped with a 51-47 overtime victory over the home-court Wildcats. It was that close! The score was tied six times, including that all-important tie at the end of regulation and the lead also changed hands six times. And you might suspect this confrontation just might require a little more time to sort things out. Ipswich would...

They weren’t able to attend a Saturday tourney in Gettysburg, though, due to the blizzard conditions. They were also scheduled to attend a Mobridge-Pollock dual format invitational o...
