The show must go on. This June, one of the biggest youth sports camps in South Dakota will return to Brookings for its third year. It’s called the ‘Cash Money Youth Skills Camp.’

When South Dakota State University won the FCS National Championship on Sunday in Frisco, it became more than just winning the FCS’s highest honor.
