One of the two Region 2B girls' high school volleyball bracket champions, Ipswich came up short in its SoDak 16 bid, losing 3-1 to Hitchcock-Tulare, coached by Roscoe native Jordan Opp last Tuesday in Hitchcock.
That sends the Patriots to the State B on November 19-21 in Huron and will face #2 Warner in their opener on Thursday. (This will be the first-ever qualification for the State B by the combined Hitchcock and Tulare contingent.)
The other first-round games that day will feature top-rated Northwestern vs. Corsica-Stickney, Colman-Egan vs. Bridgewater-Emery and last but not least Region 2B bracket co-champion Faulkton Area vs. third-seeded Chester Area.
In case you hadn't noticed, three of these teams were from the Lake Region Conference — Northwestern, Warner and Faulkton — and Ipswich would have been yet the fourth LRC rep this weekend.
Now for a quick recap of the three days of state high school football championships at the DakotaDome in Vermillion last weekend! The 9B victor Wolsey-Wessington was the furthest north champion, geographically speaking. Warner would have been, but the Monarchs lost a defensive struggle to Canistota/Freeman in 9A, the lone blemish to their season. Meanwhile, the 9AA winner proved to be Platte-Geddes. The four 11-man champions were Winner winning 11B, Tea Area in 11A, Pierre Riggs in 11AA and Brandon Valley in the big school competition, Class 11AAA.
