To celebrate the 50th season of South Dakota State football at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, the 50-player Coughlin-Alumni Stadium All-Time Team was announced Thursday in conjunction with Fall Media Day. Fan balloting determined roughly half the team by position, with the remaining at-large players selected by a panel of former coaches, administrators and media who have a long association with Jackrabbit football. More than 4,000 ballots were cast in online voting. The Coughlin-Alumni Stadium All-Time Team will be honored the weekend of Oct. 21-22, when the Jackrabbits host North Dakota State. Former Pierre Governor head football coach Mike Busch is on the list of 50 at quarterback.
Two Pierre golfers are scheduled to play in the USGA Senior Amateur local qualifying tournament to be played tomorrow in Brookings. Lou Mendoza of Eagle Butte and Hillsview Golf Course will be playing in the tournament along with Joe Villa. There are a total of 10 golfers scheduled to compete. One player will advance to the 57th USGA Senior Amateur Championship to be held Sept. 10-15 at Kinloch Golf Club in Manakin-Sabot, Va.
The Pierre Lady Governor tennis team will be young and relatively inexperienced this fall with only two returners back from last year's varsity squad in sophomore Eileen Leong and junior Emily Dix. Head Coach Jeff Bloomberg does not have a senior on the team this season but he has a strong cast of juniors that have been together since they started playing in the Lady Govs system as 7th graders. Coach Bloomberg says that the 12 girls out so far have played a lot of tennis over the summer and it is showing. Pierre opens their season a week from tomorrow when they travel to Sioux Falls to dual the 3 Sioux Falls Public schools.
The flood of 2011 shut down Griffin Park but it did not shut down the tennis courts at the complex in Pierre. Lady Gov head coach Jeff Bloomberg says that the flood waters at the height of the flood got to the edges of the courts, but did not get on any of them so all of the courts are being used as the flood waters recede.
