As we head toward Lakota Nation I wanted to stop and give some props to a former Lakota Nation athlete that took the road less traveled and is now on the verge of getting a degree from Dakota State University. Had a nice visit with Pentagon Director of Basketball Operations, Allan Bertram the other day. We yacked about a lot of things in South Dakota and he told me a story about former Red Cloud player Falcon Albers. It seems that after graduating from Red Cloud that Mr. Albe

Looking over the stats from last night's Todd County game and a number of things jumped off the page from Rashad Shannon's crew winning the first game of the season, 71-52 in Valentine Nebraska. David Espinoza - Leading scorer and rebounder for Todd County last night with 21 points and 11 rebounds...What caught my attention was that of the 11 rebounds, eight of them were offensive....That's active baby! Todd County shot 47 percent from the field....Couple guys didn't miss * J

Alright so like football where I have an appreciation for the work the linemen do, in basketball, I love people that have good footwork in the post. Have been a big fan of St. Francis sophomore Jaylen Bear R

The last time we saw Caelyn Calandra-Prue in competition, she was churning her way to a Class A state championship in the 400 meters. Sometimes, with the passage of a few months we forget that this young lady, daughter of Mike and Stacee Prue broke the Class A State meet record in the 400. Her 56.52 was the fastest Class A girl state meet performance EVER, in the history of South Dakota. Well, it has been a few months since Valandra-Prue stepped onto a high-school basketball

Can ya just feel the buildup as high school basketball gets ready to tip all across South Dakota tonight? One of the featured games on Channel 93 tonight will be that of the Jones County Coyotes coming to White River tonight to take on a youngish but talented squad. One of the things that is a real pleasure to watch the MAESTRO, Eldon Marshall coach is how he gets players to accept their roles and contribute in a way that best suits the team. Only two seniors on the roster th
