Northern Cass and WF Patriots baseball standout Husar commits to South Dakota State
WEST FARGO — Next fall, Northern Cass and West Fargo Legion baseball standout Trey Husar will be heading to Brookings, South Dakota.
Husar announced his commitment to Division I South Dakota State on social media on Saturday. He said a friendly coaching staff made him feel welcome from the beginning.
“I always felt like I was respected and appreciated,” Husar said. “And overall, Brookings had a good vibe and felt like a good city that I could spend the next four years of my career in.”
I’m extremely excited to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic careers at South Dakota State University. Thank you to all my friends, family, and coaches who have helped me along the way! #gojacks pic.twitter.com/wmNffcMQsm

Academics played a key role for Husar in the decision. He plans on majoring in engineering while at SDSU. Husar also noted that Brookings made him feel like he was at home.
“I like the small-town vibe,” Husar said. “Everyone supports everyone. The sports programs support each other. It kind of reminds me of Northern Cass or the Class B setting.”
Husar is projected to join the Jackrabbits program as a pitcher.
West Fargo Patriots head coach Jordan Rheault said Husar’s competitive nature will be a positive addition at SDSU.
“He’s super athletic,” Rheault said. “His fastball has got some velocity, especially from the left-handed side. … Most importantly, he’s a great kid and a great individual to have in the dugout.”

The Jackrabbits told Husar they’d like him to continue building muscle and putting on weight throughout the year.
Husar paced the Jaguars last season with a .489 batting average in 47 at-bats with 22 RBIs. He held a .915 slugging percentage with seven doubles, two triples and three home runs.
On the mound, Husar finished with a 6-1 record and a 0.89 earned-run average. Husar threw a no-hitter against Enderlin and mustered 15 strikeouts in the performance.
Husar, who was Class B First Team All-State selection, admitted that he didn’t settle in with the Patriots as quickly as would have liked.
“It took me a while to find my role in West Fargo,” Husar said. “I felt like I found it towards the end of the year. I’m looking to build on that this upcoming summer.”
Husar rounded out the second half of the Patriots season with a .334 batting average and 22 RBIs. He went 3-for-6 with two doubles during the American Legion Central Plains Regional tournament at Young Field.
Baseball isn’t Husar’s only specialty.
Husar was a member of the Jaguars’ 4×200 relay team that won the Class B state championship and set a school record at 3 minutes, 35.90 seconds. He was also a runner-up at the state meet in the triple jump.

While baseball is his primary focus, Husar noted solid communication between his track and baseball coaches have been key in his busy spring schedule.
A state title in track did not compare to his championship in Legion baseball.
“It was nice to represent our school, but winning that state championship with West Fargo this summer felt unreal,” Husar said. “We faced adversity in the beginning of the year, fought our way through, got really hot in July and kept rolling. It felt great.”
Husar said he’s looking to make a run at a state tournament berth along with his fellow seniors in the final year.
“We have seven or eight seniors,” Husar said. “It’s kind of our last hurrah.”

How Fourth of July became a celebration of history and hope
From revolution to massive fireworks, July Fourth evolved into a celebration of history, heritage and America’s values.
President Donald Trump will kick off Independence Day weekend with a speech at Mount Rushmore beneath busts of four of his predecessors.
As part of a day of festivities tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary, the president will address visitors to the South Dakota landmark in a keynote address on Friday, July 3. at approximately 8:30 p.m. MT/10:30 p.m. ET according to the schedule released by the White House.
After the president’s remarks, the night will end with a massive fireworks display. It will be Mount Rushmore’s first time hosting a July 3 fireworks display since 2020, which Trump also attended during his first term in office.
Earlier in the day, there will be a slew of activities and programming on site for visitors before the evening festivities. The National Park Service and the state are coordinating the celebration, and a ticket lottery to attend has already closed.
Here’s what to know about the timing of the Mount Rushmore celebrations and how to tune in.
What will be at the Mount Rushmore July 3 event?
The event on July Fourth eve will feature myriad exhibits, reenactors and interactive experiences throughout the day, according to Freedom 250, the group working with Trump’s administration to coordinate the weekend’s events.
At night, it will transition into a tribute to the Armed Forces, including military bands, aviation flyovers and precision drill demonstrations, the group said.
After, South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum will take the stage to introduce Trump.
Following the president’s remarks, the event will conclude with the fireworks show.
What time is Trump speaking at Mount Rushmore? See schedule
Trump is expected to deliver his Mount Rushmore address at 8:30 p.m. MT (10:30 p.m. ET), according to the White House, though organizers have not yet released a detailed event schedule.
However, the day’s programming is set to run from 4-10 p.m. local time, according to the National Park Service.
The fireworks, which will close out the event, are expected to begin around 9:30 p.m. local time, according to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, part of the USA TODAY Network.
