The 2024 South Dakota Prep High School football season commenced with notable performances, including the Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central Blackhawks defeating the Bridgewater-Emery/Ethan Seahawks 28-13, led by quarterback Holden Havlik's impressive 309 yards and four touchdown passes. In Class 9AA, the Parkston Trojans secured a 42-14 victory over the Freeman/Marion Academy, with senior Kolter Kramer scoring three rushing touchdowns and a punt return touchdown. Meanwhile, in Major League Baseball, the Boston Red Sox have had a notably poor home record this season, with only five teams historically having worse home performance over the last 30 years. Rafael Devers made headlines by hitting his 200th career home run, becoming the youngest Red Sox player to achieve this milestone. The Red Sox are aiming to improve their postseason chances during an important week, starting with a five-game series against the Blue Jays. Additionally, Danny Jansen is set to make history as the first player to appear in the same game for two different teams after a suspended game resumption.
