WNBA holds preseason exhibition game in South Dakota

The WNBA came to Sioux Falls for the first time on Saturday, and it “couldn’t have been a bigger hit.” The Mercury defeated the Sky 108-104 in a preseason exhibition before a sellout crowd of 3,357 at the Sanford Pentagon. The Mercury are coached by South Dakota native Nate Tibbetts, and most of the fans in attendance were “decked out in either purple or orange.” This was “more than a basketball game.” It was a “homecoming for Tibbetts,” but also a “historic moment for women’s sports in South Dakota.” The WNBA has never been to South Dakota (SIOUX FALLS LIVE, 4/26). Lines went “out the door more than an hour before tip-off.” Basketball fans “traveled from around the region to take in the game and witness history” (DAKOTA NEWS NOW, 4/26).

South Dakota motorcyclist killed in Highway 450 crash near Gillette

GILLETTE, Wyo. — A 60-year-old South Dakota resident died Tuesday, June 9, in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 450, the Wyoming Highway Patrol reported.

Authorities identified the motorcyclist who died as Stacy Christianson. The crash happened around 12:11 p.m. near milepost 62.1 in Campbell County.

Christianson was driving a Can-Am Spyder Roadster motorcycle east behind a Ford F250 truck that was pulling a flatbed trailer, a highway patrol report states. The truck was slowing down with its right turn signal on to turn into a road approach.

The motorcycle failed to slow down and struck the rear passenger side of the trailer, according to the report.

Christianson was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision. The driver of the truck was not injured.

Road conditions were dry, but the area experienced severe wind at the time of the crash, authorities reported. The highway patrol listed driver inattention as a possible contributing factor.

South Dakota farmer: wet weather pushes soybean planting

June 11, 2026 By Carah Hart Filed Under: Crops, News, South Dakota

A farmer in northeast South Dakota says soybean planting is dragging out beyond the final planting date due to consistent rains.

“From about May 25th on, whatever you don’t have done has been really difficult to finish up on.”

DuWayne Bosse, who’s also a crop insurance agent and market analyst, says there are only a few fields left to plant on his farm, but “I’ve got clients that have like 1,000 acres of beans left to go. I feel bad. The frustration level is high for those guys. And now, you’re past June 10, you know, if they wanted to prevent planted, they can, and a lot of them probably will.”

Bosse says he’s not expecting a lot of prevent plant in South Dakota, but some.

“Prevent plant will be lower probably even than last year (for the Dakotas), which was a low year number for total acres because North Dakota got quite a bit in. I drove through there last weekend and things look pretty good.”

He says the corn looks good, but is behind on progress along with the soybeans.

“We’re not in that really pretty stage yet, where corn roots down and hits the nitrogen that’s in the soil for it. So that’s probably why the crop condition scores in the Dakotas are, they aren’t bad, they’re just lacking the rest of the nation.”

Severe weather has been happening this spring, but Bosse says he’s not expecting any major events in the short-term.
