Spearfish-Lead-Deadwood scored 230 points to capture the team title of the Stanley County Invitational wrestling tournament Saturday in Ft. Pierre. Burke-Gregory was second with 155 and Stanley County finished third with 118 points. 11 schools took part in the tournament.

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.

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.
