There are more than 180 high schools in South Dakota. We asked the Mitchel Kernel student section at the Class AA Tournament if they could name some of those high schools and their mascots.

Sioux Falls Christian are wearing special T-shirts this weekend at the state tournament to support 2nd grader Forrest Murphy. Forrest is battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer, Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma.

He pulled off one of the most stunning upsets in Olympic history—winning gold in the 10,000 meters at the 1964 Tokyo Games, a race no American was expected to win. His incredible story has inspired books and films, and he continues to share his message of hope and resilience on stages around the world. On this edition of In Play, Craig Mattick is joined by the legendary Billy Mills.
