SDPB & SDHSAA State Soccer Championship Coverage

The South Dakota High School Soccer Coaches Association has released the 2025 Boys and Girls Class AA and A All-State Soccer Teams.

For the past four seasons, one thing has remained consistent – Harrisburg winning a state girls soccer championship. The Tigers defeated O’Gorman 3-1 on Saturday night from Sioux Park Stadium in Rapid City.

For the third year in a row, Lincoln is celebrating a boys soccer championship. The Patriots rolled past Jefferson 6-0 on Saturday evening in the title match from Sioux Park in Rapid City.

Craig Mattick’s guest on In Play is longtime coach and administrator Merlin Doyle. One of the first officers of the South Dakota High School Athletic Directors Association when it formed in 1973, Merlin helped launch girls track and wrestling programs, coached basketball and football, and served as both principal and athletic director. He spent 31 years in the Wall School District. Joined by his wife, Mary Jane, Merlin—now 90—may not recall every moment, but his passion for the kids and the Wall community remains as strong as ever.

This week on Game Time, Jason Andera and Nate Wek preview some of the top girls basketball games of the season coming up at the Boys Hanson Classic, including a battle of unbeatens with an interview from Clark/Willow Lake Coach Jerome Nesheim.
