SD Mines is going into the bye week following a huge 30-16 road win over Fort Lewis yesterday (10/3/26) afternoon. SD Mines capitalized on their extremely talented backfield, gaining 172 rushing yards and scoring 3 TDs on the ground. The Hardrockers’ rushing defense was just as impressive, as they limited the Skyhawks to just 15 total yards rushing. While SD Mines’ pass game clearly missed WR Joshua Morales, the Hardrockers’ defense stepped up, bringing down 3 interceptions and recovering 2 fumbles, including recovering a fumble in the end zone for a defensive score. Leading SD Mines to the win were: 🏈 Gage Baker, 6 Cmps on 9 Atts for 70 Yds to go along with 15 rushing Yds & 1 rushing TD; 🏈 Dawson Dunbar, 15 Carries for 110 Yds & 2 TDs; 🏈 Ty Harris, 15 Carries for 46 Yds plus 1 Rec for 16 Yds; 🏈 Jadon Lemmons, 6 Tackles (4 Solo & 2 Ast) & 1 INT; 🏈 Lang Gappelberg, 6 Tackles (2 Solo & 4 Ast) & 1 INT; 🏈 Gabe Frerichs, 6 Tackles (1 Solo & 5 Ast) with 1 TFL & 1 Fumble recovery; & 🏈 Charlie Johnson, 5 Solo Tackles. With the win, SD Mines improves to 5-1 on the season and finds themselves in the playoff hunt as they go into the bye week to prepare for the Black Hills Brawl.

SD Mines took out its frustration from last weekend’s game on Adams St, as they put a beat down on the Grizzlies to earn a 45-15 road win yesterday (9/19/26) afternoon. SD Mines’ QB Gage Baker was on a mission. He completed 73.9% of his pass attempts (17 of 23), leading the Hardrockers to 425 yards of total offense (200 in the air & 225 on the ground). In the 1st half alone, the Hardrockers scored 35 points, 28 of which came in the 2nd quarter. For good measure, the Hardrockers scored another TD on their 1st possession of the 2nd half. The Hardrockers’ defense also showed up to play as they held the Grizzles to just 201 yards of total offense, including a mere 82 yards on the ground and only 119 in the air. Leading SD Mines to the win were: 🏈 Gage Baker, 17 Cmps on 23 Atts for 200 Yds & 2 TDs. 🏈 Dawson Dunbar, 8 Carries for 102 Yds & 3 TDs; 🏈 Ty Harris, 5 Recs for 89 Yds & 1 TD; 🏈 Joshua Morales, 2 Recs for 17 Yds & 1 TD; 🏈 Charlie Johnson, 4 Solo Tackles; 🏈 Evan Hatton, 3 Solo Tackles & 🏈 Jake Lester, 3 Solo Tackles. SD Mines will be looking to improve their record to 4-1 when they welcome NM Highlands and their high powered run game to Rapid City next weekend.
