On this day of the year when the problems of the world seem to de-intensify, there is not much sports to report. Nothing locally actually. That changes on Tuesday with the Stanley County Wrestling, boys basketball and girls basketball teams all return to the court. And the Pierre Lady Gov gymnastics teams returns to action in Rapid City and the Capitals boys varsity hockey team begins a 3 day tournament in Hazen, North Dakota. We wish all of the teams the best of luck as they bring an end to the old year and look ahead to the new year ahead. Since I seem to be the only one who blogs anymore on this site, I would like to take this time for Brian, Darren and myself to wish all of you A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Cody LaCompte was the only individual champion for Stanley County winning the 182 lb. division. He went 5-0 in the tournament defeating Luke McFarland of Spearfish-Lead-Deadwood by a pin in :34 of the championship match. 3rd place finishers for the Buffalos included Daniel Slama at 106 lbs. Michael Scott at 132 lbs. Herman Fennell at 145 lbs. and Chantry Norman at 160 lbs. Cade Larson finished 4th at 285 lbs. Riley Thelen placed 5th at 120 lbs. and Cooper Carter at 138 lbs. and Wade Wieczorek at 152 lbs. finished 6th for the Buffalo place winners.
And congraulations to Sioux Falls baseball people. After years of looking at Rapid City and questioning former Post 22 head coach Dave Ploofs motives for never scheduling Post 320 for regular season games and his fight with Post 320 for over a decade before he retired from the coaching scene, Sioux Falls is doing the same with the formation of Post 307 based out of Renner. It will be the third varsity Legion baseball team in the state's largest city. Post 15 has had two teams in the past. Sioux Falls West and Sioux Falls East. Both were run by the Sioux Empire Baseball Association. The SEBA is against the formation of the third team and complaining that they are recruiting players away from the Post 15 teams to play for the newly formed Post 307. Perhaps coach Ploof can give some advice to the Sioux Falls people on how to handle this situation. And eventually, how to live with it.
