Elk Point-Jefferson Huskies

For the first time in state history, Hot Springs has won a state football championship. The Bison defeated Elk Point-Jefferson, the defending state champs in 11B, 13-7 on Friday in Vermillion to claim the title.

Six days ago, Elk Point-Jefferson won their first ever state football championship. On Thursday in Sioux Falls at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center, the Huskies upset top seeded Wagner 3-1 in the quarterfinal round of the ‘A’ state volleyball tournament. But for head volleyball coach Erin Kuper, something else also happened this week.

In thrilling fashion, Elk Point-Jefferson topped Winner 21-14 on Friday afternoon in Vermillion at the Dakota Dome to win their first ever state football title, in their first ever championship game appearance.

For the first time ever, Elk Point-Jefferson will play for a state football championship. SDPB made a visit to Huskies territory to capture some of the excitement and emotion with this historic run.
