The Huskies traveled over 90 miles on Thursday, October 2, 2025 for their volleyball match versus the Red Raiders of Wagner. It was a tough one that Elk Point-Jefferson took to 4 sets in competitive play. Unfortunately they did not get the win, but the grit on the court was admirable.

Cross country is not a sport for the meek and Elk Point-Jefferson showed their strength and endurance on the running paths to end September and start October. The start of autumn has been warmer than usual, but that has not slowed down any of the Huskies. On Monday, September 29, 2025 it was the team’s home meet at The Pointe and EPJ represented well.

The top of the leader board for 11B football, in South Dakota, is where the Huskies will stay after defeating Wagner on Friday, October 3, 2025. It was a huge win for Elk Point-Jefferson, on homecoming night, as they did not allow the Red Raiders to score at all on their way to 48-0 victory.
