By Dana Hess For the S.D. Newspaper Association As high school sports practices start up across South Dakota, coaches, athletes and administrators are realizing that it’s not business as usual during a pandemic. The South Dakota High School Activities Association board of directors heard reports about the start of fall sports Thursday, Aug. 13 at their August meeting in Pierre. The meeting was live streamed on the internet. One safety measure in football has been particularly vexing. The problem is “how the heck to keep each kid with their own...
Hopefully our area high school fall sports teams have all been experiencing some productive pre-season practice sessions and good luck during your respective seasons. That should all be quite interesting with schools (including their sports teams) attempting to resume their normal routines as much as possible with the coronavirus still around for now at least. The first actual varsity competition would appear to be a football game with the Ipswich/Edmunds Central team hosting Potter County in Ipswich on Friday. The Tigers had handled Potter...

According to a proposal from SDHSAA Assistant Executive Director Brooks Bowman, 85 percent of journalism advisers preferred holding...
By Dana Hess For the S.D. Newspaper Association Putting on high school athletics and activities during a pandemic is going to take patience, flexibility and constant communication. That was the consensus during a strategic planning session of the South Dakota High School Activities Association board of directors and executive staff. During last Wednesday’s session in Pierre, which was live-streamed on the internet, board members shared their concerns based on the school groups they represent. The board is made up of superintendents, s...
Sustaining a 2019 Class B girls' high school volleyball SoDak 16 loss one game away from the State B, the Tiger netters might very well feel like they have some incentive to do well this year. That's because their varsity roster features 10 returning seniors, a luxury that not a whole lot of teams can experience. Alphabetically the seniors include Hailey Bierman, Halie Feldman, Kate Geditz, Lindsey Grabowska, Halle Heinz, Taryn Kleffman, Ashton Loken, Paige Mehlberg, Chesney Olivier and Bailey...
The Ipswich cross country program under head coach Todd Thorson will be quite youthful this year with no seniors on either the girls or boys rosters. But Thorson says that it's very possible that there is a combined girls/boys record turnout of 24 runners this season. (That equates to 16 girls and eight boys.) The Tiger girls indeed graduated a 2019 State B Top 10 finisher, Tessa Kilber, eighth at last year's meet, who will certainly be missed. But the team finished sixth in last year's girls...
