There is a change in start times for middle school sports - MSFB is working with the HSFB team at this time but will also be starting on their own Aug. 15th at 5:30-7:30. The MSVB team will be starting on Aug. 15th as well - NOT Aug. 22nd as earlier reported. Sorry for the confusion. If you have questions for either of those teams, please contact Dan Janssen/Josh Thompson for MSFB or Sonja Papousek for MSVB. Thank you. Mr. Nepodal

Seniors: The September 10th ACT registration deadline is AUGUST 6th. Go to the website www.act.org to register. If you have questions, contact Mrs. Britzman. The next test will be in October, and then December. ACT is used for college admission and scholarships.

Just a reminder that if you are planning to play a Fall sport in grades 6-12 this year, you will need a physical done and turned into the office (Mary Schumacher) before you can start practice - no physical, no practice. Starting dates are as follows: Sideline cheer - August 1 HSFB - Aug. 4, Boys Golf - Aug. 8, HSVB and CC (include JH runners) - Aug. 11, JHFB - Aug. 15 and JHVB - Aug. 22nd. Thank you for taking care of this in advance! Mr. Nepodal

A reminder that we will be having our Fall Sports Meeting - both athlete and parents should attend this - on Tuesday, August 2nd. The booster club will provide a hot dog feed starting at 6:00 with the meeting starting at 6:30. Hot dog feed will be in the high school cafeteria and then we will have our meeting in Gym 2 with breakouts for each individual Fall sport afterwards. This will be for any student who plans to play a Fall sport (FB, VB, Cross Country, Sideline cheer or Boys Golf) in grades 6-8 (FB is only 7-12 though). Thank you and see you there! Mr. Nepodal

Reminder: Our Fall sports meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 2nd for all students who will be participating in Fall sports (Football, volleyball, sideline cheer, boys golf and cross country). This is also for the parents. While it isn't mandatory, this is a great meeting to gather information, turn in forms, meet coaches, and hear the plan for the upcoming sports season. This is for grades 6-12 this Fall. Mr. Nepodal

The Deadwood Clinic will once again be offering free physicals to those planning to participate in athletics next year (2022-2023). You will need to make an appointment with the clinic to get it done - paperwork is available at the high school and some will be dropped off at the clinic. These physicals will be available June through August. Keep in mind that your student-athlete will not be able to participate or start practice until a physical has been turned in to the AD's office or to the Head Coach for their sport. This does include both the Middle School and High School athletic teams. Thank you to the clinic for offering these for free each year - it is much appreciated! Mr. Nepodal

The Region Track meet tomorrow (Thursday - May 19) at Rapid City Christian has had a slight time change - field events still start at 9:00, but running events will now start at 9:30 rather than 10:00 due to the forecasted weather later in the day. Mr. Nepodal
