BHS BBB…Yankton and Brookings open the boys’ basketball season Friday night at Bob Jostad Gym – air time on KBRK AM 1430 is 7:05, with a 7:30 tipoff.
Brookings will be without guard Tanner Odegaard due to a pre-season injury - senior Nick Nagy will step into the point guard role. Still, head coach Travis Engebretson says the Bobcats will score points. 97621 :19 “face the issue”.

YANKTON GBB…Brookings visits Yankton Friday night for the Gazelles ESD Conference, and season-opening, girls’ basketball contest.
Brookings is trying to bounce back from a 3-and-20 season, but Yankton coach Doug Pesicka says that mark’s deceptive.
97634 :23 “to get in”.
Pesicka says the Bobcats are searching to replace the graduated Cassidy Kotelman. 97635 :15 “played a game”.

Elkton-Lake Benton basketball coach Steve Erickson.

ORR GBB…Oldham-Ramona/Rutland’s girls’ basketball team is looking to make another run deep into the postseason.
Head coach Sara Holmberg returns two post players – one of whom set a school rebounding record. She hopes team speed defensively, will help create offense. 97624 “is just phenomonal”.

DWU FB…After seven seasons, Brad Pole has resigned as head coach of the Dakota Wesleyan University football team.
Pole’s resignation comes on the heels of a 6-4 campaign in 2011. The Tigers went 5-0 to start the season for the first time since 1992 before going 1-4 in the second half of the season.
Pole, who came to Dakota Wesleyan after two seasons as the recruiting coordinator and running backs coach at Augustana College, started with the Tigers in the 2005 season. In seven seasons, he compiled a 31-39 record and put together two winning seasons and one .500 season.
A committee will be formed to start an immediate search for a new head coach. In the interim, defensive coordinator Ross Cimpl will be the acting head coach.

WOOD BATS…South Dakota amateur baseball teams will play with wood bats, starting next season. State commissioners made the decision last month. Class “A” teams had used wood bats while Class “B” teams played primarily with aluminum.
bats with the option to play wood-bat.
Dell Rapids PBR manager Jay Bentz says the proposal was not a popular one among Corn Belt League teams. 97636 :17 “he voted”.
Amateur managers were surveyed - a majority favored going to wood bats. The heavier bats will cause the ball to travel slower, but Dell Rapids Mudcats manager Jim Wilber doesn’t think teams will suffer greatly. 97637 :30 “forward to it”.
Teams will have to rely on playing “small ball” - something Canistota manager Randy Townshend hopes will benefit his team.
97638 “do think so”.
Minnesota’s amateur baseball association has played with wood bats for a long time - the VFW Teener program will also use wood bats next season.
