Rhoden calls for a ‘National Garden of American Heroes'
SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO) — South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden is calling for the Black Hills to be used as a National Garden of American Heroes. SDHSAA issues statement on Class A championship finish In a letter to President Donald Trump, Rhoden said he recalled the President's remarks from the 2020 Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore, where Trump called for the garden's creation.

'I would like to offer those same Black Hills as the perfect location for this garden. In fact, we have a plot of land available in sight of Mount Rushmore that would be ideal for this fantastic effort,' Rhoden wrote in the letter. Rhoden said Chuck Lien is a landowner willing to donate land that is near Mount Rushmore. Lien originally offered it to Trump in 2020, a news release from Rhoden says. George Washington, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Harriet Tubman, Babe Ruth, and other notable Americans from all walks of life will be among those honored in the National Garden of American Heroes, according to the release.

SDHSAA issues statement on Class A championship finish
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – The South Dakota High School Activities Association has issued a statement regarding SDHSAA rules and policies after Sioux Falls Christian students stormed the court following a buzzer beater to beat Maȟpíya Lúta in the Class A state championship Saturday night in Spearfish. Cimpl halts harvest operations in Yankton 'A photo going around social media says that storming the court is a technical foul per SDHSAA rules. This appears to be a search engine/AI generated response and is incorrect. There is no NFHS or SDHSAA rule indicating a technical foul for court storming,' SDHSAA Executive Director Dan Swartos said in a statement. SFC's Lezlei Setzer scored a basket after gathering a rebound from a missed free throw as time expired to lift the Chargers to a 57-56 win over previously unbeaten Maȟpíya Lúta. Fans stormed the court following the game-winning shot, a violation of a SDHSAA policy. 'SDHSAA does have a policy stating that if fans come onto the court following a game, the medals and trophy are supposed to be given to a team representative rather than individually out to the players,' Swartos said in the statement posted on X. 'This policy was not followed (Saturday) night. I take responsibility for that and apologize for it.' Swartos said he regrets 'an incredible contest between two excellent teams has been sidelined by my policy mistake and I apologize to the teams, coaches and fans for that.'
