Stanley County 57-1 Public Schools

Congratulations to our students who competed this past week/weekend at the State Oral Interpretation Meet in Watertown. Tessa Rasmussen and Breezy Bergeson both finished in the top 15 of their categories in Class A! Eddie Duffy earned a Superior score in which two of the three judges gave him a perfect score! Way to go, Tessa, Breezy, Eddie, and Mr. Bonhorst - your hard work has paid off, and we are proud of you!

Yesterday, we hosted our SC Wrestling Invitational. We are back at it with winter sports and home events which means we have the privilege of recognizing student-athletes from other schools who display sportsmanship and a high standard of character.

The Buffalo Heart Award is chosen by our students in which they chose Sophie Ziegler of Mobridge-Pollock and Talon Krolikowski of Bennett County. Congratulations!

Congratulations to our Middle School Basketball teams yesterday as they competed in the Chamberlain Tournament. Our 7th grade girls came home with a 2nd place finish while our 6th grade girls came home CHAMPIONS! Way to go ladies and coaches! 🦬🏀

Two weeks until Christmas break, but a full week of events and activities! Best of luck to all of our kids competing this week!

The 2nd annual Stanley County Middle School wrestling tournament was held on Friday December 5th in Parkview gymnasium.

The Middle school Buffs and Lady Buffs defended their home mats VERY well! Aksel Nordvold, Hazen Garrett, and Corbin Good all brought home championships! Cayde Keil was runner up and our lone Lady Buff, Emerson McClelland, finished in 3rd!

Great job and GO BUFFS!

Winter weather is here and that means only one thing to a special bunch of athletes around Buffs Nation…High school wrestling season is upon us!!!! The Buffs traveled to Presho to kick off their dual season on Thursday, December 4th. The Buffaloes came away with 2 big dual wins over Todd County 58-18 and Lyman 45-32. The only set back was a very close dual with Mount Vernon/Plankinton, losing 36-39. Overall coaches were happy with the performances but need to be in better shape and keep fine tuning technique.

The Buffaloes and Lady Buffs will compete on Saturday December 6th in the annual Stanley County Invite! GO BUFFS!!!

Undefeated wrestlers on the night were Mason Stoeser, Jeff Knight, Sayth Cronin, and Case Kolda…all going 3-0. Ezra Rutherford won his only match of the night to start the season 1-0.

There were no official Lady Buffs duals but Ahleise Schweitzer and Brianne Campbell both won exciting exhibition matches over wrestlers that they had previously never beaten! The ladies are moving in the right direction!

Jameson Madsen, a 4th-grade student at SC, is representing our school as the sole member from our elementary to participate in the local FIRST® LEGO League team, the Gods of Ground. In his first year with the team, Jameson helped them advance through regional qualifiers, earning a place at the State Championship in Sioux Falls this January. Jameson contributes in the areas of coding, engineering, and strategy, and is recognized for his strong creative thinking and problem-solving skills. His dedication to robotics and teamwork has played an important role in the team’s success. We congratulate Jameson and the Gods of Ground and wish them the best at the state competition.

There will be NO Saturday Morning Basketball this Saturday, December 6th due to High School basketball practice and a Middle School tournament. We will plan on having it again on December 13th. Thank you and Please Share!

We are back at it with high school activities this week!

Tonight's MS GBB game @ Gettysburg is 1 game with 8 minute quarters.

BEST OF LUCK to our 3 Oral Interp State Qualifiers this weekend in Watertown: Breezy Bergeson, Eddie Duffy, and Tessa Rasmussen!

During Red Ribbon Week, students had the opportunity to write an essay on someone they look up to because of their character. We had a handful of students write some excellent things about the people they look up to, and they have now been challenged to share that with them! Way to go, Buffs and Lady Buffs. Thank you for taking time to write a meaningful essay.

Middle School Wrestling at Lyman has been postponed for this evening (11/25/2025) due to weather. We will keep you posted on the new date. Stay warm and safe!

Wrestling season is officially under way in Buffs Nation with the Middle school Buffs and Lady Buffs traveling to Chamberlain on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Though the numbers were a bit low, expectations and drive were high as we crowned 3 champions, Gunner Schreiber, Aksel Nordvold, and Hazen Garrett! Ahleise Schweitzer and Corbin Good came in as 2nd place finishers while Cayde Keil was 3rd and Emerson McClelland finished in 4th. Coach Craig Heller and Coach Clint Neville both agreed that the kids had an outstanding day with lots of room for improvement. Most people look at the wins and losses…they are not losses. They are Learning Opportunities!!! And the MS Buffs and Lady Buffs have another opportunity to win or learn on Tuesday November 25th in Presho with wrestling starting at 5 PM CST. GO BUFFS!!!!

A short week with a few activities! Good luck to middle school wrestling competing at Lyman this week and to the Lady Buffs High School Basketball Team starting of their season tomorrow/Monday!
