Ipswich Tribune -

We are starting to see some hints of fall and just dodged some freezing. I guess the calendar agrees. But it’s nearly always windy, some days more than others. We are officially into fall as the calendar confirms, so don’t be surprised what is...

Last week we mentioned there were two Aberdeen area events this past weekend — the South Dakota Film Festival in Aberdeen and the Northeast S.D. Celtic Faire at Richmond Lake. Being near 100% Scotch/ Irish I voted for the latter and a wise choice...

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. But the Tigers were able to obtain some...

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...

Ipswich attended a cross country meet at Potter County last Saturday and came away with a boys' varsity team win 12 to 21 over Highmore-Harrold. The IHS girls finished second only to Potter County 6 to 21. The individual girls' winner was Dannika...

It’s so busy this time of the year that two of my personal favorite annual events turned out to be the same weekend — the S.D. Film Festival and the Celtic Faire on the beautiful shores of Richmond Lake. (The film festival is in Aberdeen.) Plus...

Ipswich placed third in a high school volleyball invitational tourney at Mobridge last Saturday. The IHS Tigers won their opener over Stanley County, but lost a semi-final decision to the hosts. That sent the IHS netters into the third-place match wo...

It’s IHS homecoming week, otherwise known as Gala Day. I understand Edmunds Central will be doing their homecoming festivities soon. Congrats to Ipswich’s royalty and all the various athletes this week. Let’s hope the weather cooperates for...

Ipswich struck first, but Warner had the final say during a typically close Lake Region Conference football rivalry last Friday in Warner. That opening touchdown would be a 38-yard pass play from Ian Beyers to Colby Sylte with a successful PAT run by...

Ipswich went on the road for two high school volleyball matches last week and came away with a split, losing their first match to Groton 3-1 on Tuesday and bouncing back for a 3-0 win over Waubay/Summit two nights later (25-11,25-8, 25-15). Versus...

Ipswich, coached by Todd Thorson, attended a High School cross country event during a very warm day in Redfield last Thursday. The IHS girls entered two competitors in the varsity division led by Gracyn Kadlec 19th in 21:29.03 and Madisyn Gellhaus...

The school year has just begun and already they’ve postponed at least one event because of excessive rain at a scheduled cross country meet in Mobridge last Friday. I guess the old saying is certainly here this year, “When it rains it pours....

Ipswich won a Lake Region Conference football game at Langford last Friday. Believe it or not the hosts briefly led 6-0 courtesy of their defense, a 25-yard pass interception return by Kalen Goedel. The final score, though, would be Ipswich 58-8, as...

Ipswich began its cross country campaign during a soggy day in Pierre last Friday. There all the classes were eligible for the results, so there was some quality competition at this event (the Pierre Invitational) to say the least. It was won by...

The weather at the Brown County Fair is somewhat legendary for its variety and that proved to be the case again. The two brief times we went there was on Thursday afternoon and again on Sunday afternoon. That day proved to be beautiful in every...

It’s already hectic and beginning to feel a lot like fall for multiple reasons. The mornings are already somewhat cooler and will continue in that direction. Some people are seeing that various animals already have longer coats than normal....
