A long-standing South Dakota rivalry renews on Saturday, September 5, as Black Hills State hosts No. 25 Dakota State in the 2026 home opener at Lyle Hare Stadium. The former SDIC and DAC rivals who used to play for the Missouri River Shootout trophy will meet for the first time in 16 years with a number of streaks on the line, as the Yellow Jackets enter with a 3-game win streak overall back to 2025 and a 6-game win streak over the Trojans, while DSU enters with a 6-game win streak of their own dating back 2025 as well.
