Edmunds County Tribune -

It’s that time of year — girls post-season volleyball time! And when the Region 2B girls’ high school volleyball seeding points were counted (and more than likely recounted) Ipswich narrowly trailed top-seeded Faulkton Area as the overall second seed, placing the Lady Tigers in the hunt for one of the two Region 2B bracket championships.

The Lady Tigers were scheduled to host seventh-seeded Sully Buttes on Tuesday evening with those results not known by our newspaper deadline. (Faulkton was all set to host the eight-vs-nine Monday play-in advancer, either Sunshine Bible Academy or Lower Brule.) And #4 Herreid/Selby Area hosts #5 Potter County in Tuesday’s other Faulkton bracket clash.

The winners of each of the Tuesday Region 2B bracket semi-finals will each secure a berth in a bracket championship match at the home of the higher-seed at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5. (The 2 vs. 7 winner will play either Highmore-Harrold or North Central, the winner of the other Tuesday clash in the Ipswich bracket.)

Thursday’s pair of 2B winners will join 14 other state-wide regional bracket champions to face an opponent determined by a statewide re-seeding of the 16 contenders into eight SoDak 16 matches on Nov. 10. Those winners will each advance to the State B in Huron later this month.
