OMAHA, Neb. — Dakota Wesleyan volleyball got back in the win column on Friday, staving off a reverse sweep bid by the College of Saint Mary (Neb.) in a five-set Great Plains Athletic Conference battle. Set scores were 25-20, 25-18, 15-25, 24-26 and 15-7. For the 12th-ranked Tigers (14-5, 3-4 GPAC), it snapped a three-match and nine-set losing spree, all in GPAC play. With DWU ahead 2-0 in set count, CSM (13-8, 3-4 GPAC) refused to go quietly, leading the third set wire-to-wire.

MITCHELL — Here's a look at the South Dakota high school football scores for Friday, Oct.

PARKSTON — Class 9AA top-ranked Parkston rumbled to a 50-20 victory over Bon Homme in a Missouri Valley Conference rivalry matchup on Friday night. Brycen Bruening and Mason Jervik accounted for all five first-half touchdowns for the Trojans, who, after trading early scores with the Cavaliers, pulled out to a 34-12 lead at the break.

WATERTOWN — Brady Hoesing’s 9-yard touchdown run in the second overtime, Gavin Zilla’s extra-point kick and Rocky Clark’s effort to block Watertown’s game-tying kick lifted the Mitchell Kernels to a 23-22 road win on Friday night at No. 3-ranked Watertown in Eastern South Dakota Conference football action. The game was tied 13-all going to overtime when the teams traded field goals in the first extra period, capped when Zilla knocked in a 25-yard field goal to extend the game.

PLATTE, S.D. — When Platte-Geddes needed a stop Friday night, the Black Panthers found a way to make it in the red zone. And when P-G needed to put the game away, it leaned on long offensive drives. That formula helped Class 9AA's No. 2-ranked Black Panthers defeat Kimball/White Lake 25-8, extending their win streak to four games. Platte-Geddes opened the game with a nearly seven-minute drive, highlighted by a 34-yard run from quarterback Tommy Nelson.
