Coyote football looks for win at final home game
Dating back to last year, the South Dakota Coyote football team has lost 10 straight Missouri Valley Football Conference games. They have one more shot at home to put an end to that streak — but it won’t be easy. The Coyotes (2-8, 0-6 Missouri Valley) host the Illinois State Redbirds (8-1, 5-1) Saturday at 1 […]
Women’s basketball focuses on defense for first game
Head women’s basketball coach Amy Williams is taking the first few games of the season seriously, but after her team started last season slowly, she has a different perspective. “If you can have success, be successful or see great things out of your program in those games, that’s a positive,” Williams said. Besides winning and […]

Men’s basketball looking for Friday victory
Head men’s basketball coach Craig Smith doesn’t know what to expect for the opening game of the season.

Western Illinois tops Coyotes 44-29
It’s been one long season for the Coyote football team. If Saturday’s game meant anything, it’s that it’ll be even longer. South Dakota, sitting in last place in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, hosted the Western Illinois Leathernecks. Western Illinois came into the game with the second worst record in the conference. The Leathernecks walked […]
False fire alarms spark concern for students
Awhile back, I learned that if the fire department receives a call from a school and a house at the same time, the fire department will go to the school first because there are more people they have to help save as opposed to a house. Additionally, when these alarms go off, some students actually get scared and may fear […]
Hendry: Time and yoga cure all stresses
Nothing beats the early-November slump like a nice visit from your long-distance romantic interest. Although it made for a lovely weekend, I imagined no one really wanted to read about romantic strolls through Falls Park in Sioux Falls. So I squeezed in a more legitimate work-out before my deadline, and between it and the encouragement […]
The 1990s one of the greatest movie decades
For most of us, the 1990s bring us back to childhood. Certain memories like toys, TV shows and movies will always hold a place in our hearts as “the good ol’ days” before adulthood hit us and ruined everything. The 1990s was also a great decade for entertainment in the movie business because more than 40 movies made […]
