There is a rare Thursday night early season high school football game in the area tonight. The game will be in Presho where the 1-1 Lyman Raiders host Lower Brule in a 7 pm kickoff. Head Coach Michael Kieffer liked the way he saw his team bounce back last week with their win over Kadoka after being beaten the first week by White River where the Raiders allowed 82 points to be scored. Last week against Kadoka, the Kougars mustered only 6.
A new billboard along I-29 near Brookings is causing a stir. The ad was placed by the University of South Dakota marketing deparment. It features the USD mascot – a coyote – chasing the South Dakota State mascot – a jackrabbit – with the heading “Have an Old Friend for Dinner”. The board also notes the date of next year’s USD-SDSU football game in Brookings. USD athletic director David Sayler says the board’s one of four placed around the state. He says no smack is intended – it’s to stir discussion of the State-U rivalry. Sayler says the talk, and fan support, will help the schools develop their new Division I programs. USD joins SDSU in the Summit League next year.
