Press Release from Dr. Daniel Swartos, Executive Director, South Dakota High School Activities Association With the Governor’s announcement of school closure for the remainder of the school year, all remaining SDHSAA events for 2019-20, to include all spring activities and postponed winter events, are canceled. This is an unprecedented time across our state and country, and we do not make this decision lightly. We thank all of the participants, their coaches/directors/advisors/administration, their parents, and everyone else who has dedicated tremendous amounts of time, passion, and effort to these events. To our senior participants- we thank you for everything you have done for your schools and communities and wish you the very best in your bright futures. This is difficult, but the lessons you’ve learned and friendships you’ve made through high school activities will last your lifetime. We look forward to the resumption of high school activities during the 2020-21 school year and will continue to work on those events at this time. The SDHSAA thanks everyone involved for their patience and understanding throughout this process.

NEWS RELEASE… ​Governor Noem has recommended that South Dakota Schools remain closed for the rest of the school year. ​Flex Learning opportunities for Todd County Students (packets and online) will continue until further notice.

Kelsie Herman named to Class A first-team All-State 2020 Girls Basketball Class A All-State Teams From Todd County Tribune First Team Madysen Vlastuin, Sr., Lennox, 20.2 ppg., 5.7 rpg., 2.1 apg. Haleigh Timmer Jr., STM, 22.8 ppg., 6.5 rpg., 3.1 apg. Hannah Parsley, Sr., Flandreau, 18.2 ppg., 9.4 rpg., 4.0 apg. Bella Swedlund, So., Winner, 20.2 ppg., 6.9 rpg, 3.1 apg. Rianna Fillipi, Sr., Lennox, 15.9 ppg., 3.5 rpg., 4.9 apg. Kelsie Herman, Sr., Todd County, 26.8 ppg., 3.6 rpg., 3.2 apg. Herman had another outstanding season for the Falcons, leading the state in scoring, breaking the school record for points per game at 26.8. A second-team all-state performer last season and member of the 2019 Class A all-tournament team, Herman was also a three-time Big Dakota all-conference, a three-time member of the Lakota Nation Invitation all-tournament team and won the Sacred Hoops Character Award at the LNI. Her 1,611 points are a Todd County record. "It's very deserving for Kelsie to earn all-state. She is one of the very best players in the state of South Dakota because she works at it," Todd County coach Bob Boyd Jr. said. "I can't tell you the hours and sweat that Kelsie has put in to be an all-stater. When most kids are home sleeping, Kelsie is in the gym or the weight room getting better. She is not only a great ballplayer, but also a tremendous role model for our little girls on the Rosebud Reservation. She is the example that if you work hard and have determination, you can accomplish anything. It's been a real honor to coach her for five years."
