Tigers improve record to 1-1

Ipswich resumed its varsity football schedule with a 48-10 win over the Northwestern Wildcats on August 25 in the Tiger football complex.

That improved the Tigers record to 1-1 and they will next host league rival Warner on September 1. Meanwhile Northwestern dropped to 0-2, but they were able to have some bright spots in their loss, particularly in the second half.

Ipswich had methodically fashioned a 34-0 lead at intermission and then added a quick third-quarter score to further improve its lead.

Ipswich first got on the scoreboard with a Max Kulesa pass to Trevor Heinz covering 23 yards and added a PAT run by Kulesa. And Kulesa then added a 10-yard TD run with the PAT play failing. Rasmus Loken then got a huge 16-yard interception runback TD with the PAT also failing. Casey Geditz then electrified the hometown fans with a 75-yard TD scamper. Trevor Heinz would then add a three-yard scoring run capped by Kulesa's PAT pass to Tucker Kadlec.

Kulesa then found Trevor Heinz with a 18-yard TD pass completion with the PAT play failing. Kyle Hettich would get in Ipswich's scorebook with a 45-yard completion from Kulesa, who added the PAT run.

Northwestern's scoring would be a two-yard run by Dustin Dirksen and a Landon Braun PAT run. The Wildcats' remaining two points were on a safety.
