FCS national title live score, highlights and analysis: South Dakota State football vs. Montana
The day has finally arrived for South Dakota State football.
The top-ranked Jackrabbits have a chance to capture their second-straight FCS national title when they take on the second-ranked Montana Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon in Frisco, Texas. SDSU (14-0) has not lost a game since Week 1 of the 2022 season and is looking to extend that winning streak today. Montana (13-1) is making its first trip to the national title game since 2009.
Our Argus Leader sports reporter, Jonathan Fernandez, is live on the scene in Frisco today. While he’s in the press box covering the game, follow along in this blog file for up-to-the-minute updates on all the biggest plays from the national title game.

Human trafficking survivor advocate to speak at Rapid City church event
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – A Rapid City church is hosting a free community event Thursday to raise awareness about human trafficking, with organizers saying the danger may be closer than people think.
The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League at Bethlehem Lutheran Church is opening the presentation to the entire community because organizers say awareness alone can save a life.
“If we can get 20 people to understand what to look for — if we can get 20 people to understand that this organization exists — then we can start shining light into every corner, and suddenly it’ll be a better world,” said Alexandra Loverink, co-president of LWML Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
Event details
The free presentation is Thursday, May 14 at 6 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Rushmore Street. The speaker is Reverend Tess Franzen, founder of Freedom’s Journey, a Rapid City-based ministry that has assisted hundreds of trafficking survivors over more than a decade.
Franzen said the problem in South Dakota is far more widespread than most people realize.
“We see mostly sex trafficking, but much of what we see is — some people might call it homegrown or familial,” Franzen said. “We see trafficking here where young people are being trafficked out, their family members are selling access to them when they’re children. And in many cases, they don’t really even realize there’s anything wrong with it.”
Organizer Cari Garwood-Beard said Franzen’s presentation changed how she sees her own neighborhood, and she wants others to have that same wake-up call.
“She told a story about her neighbor one time — just a good old guy — and found out that he was a trafficker. Her neighbor, who she thought was above boards,” Garwood-Beard said. “And it really hit home. My next-door neighbor could be.”
A freewill offering will be collected for Freedom’s Journey at Thursday’s event. Bethlehem Lutheran Church is at 1630 Rushmore Street.
