Jan 09 2038: Eagerly Waiting for Home Games - by stlouis40 on April 6th, 2024
The Sioux Falls community and fans have been waiting for hosting some home games. Sioux Falls has had a total of 7 home games through non-conference and conference games thus far. Thats right....SEVEN! The good news is we only have 5 more away games. We are also in 3 way tie in Legends for most games missed with injuries. Optimistic that between having healthy players and our home games we can finish strong in a tough Legends conference.

Apr 05 2032: Finally! - by stlouis40 on June 1st, 2023
After taking over the team 17 seasons ago we finally won the championship! We started out in Div 3 and over the years have made the team a consistent winner. The team is losing 3 starting seniors but believe there is enough talent to have another great season next year. Congratulations to New England making it to the championship game as well! Good luck to everyone next season!
Mar 27 2032: Back to Final Four! - by stlouis40 on May 30th, 2023
For the 2nd time in 7 Seasons the Cougars are back in the Final Four! We have been in the Championship game once before but hoping to go all the way this year. We have to get past a tough Methodist University squad. This Cougars team has no star player, but rather players that play their position well. Good luck to the Final Four teams!
