The Huskies had a great week of volleyball. It all started with a sweep of Viborg-Hurley on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 and then coming out as tournament champions, at Northwestern, on Saturday, October 12, 2024.

Unbelievable competition was the theme of the volleyball week for Dakota Valley from October 7-12, 2024. The Panthers faced top seeded Class A teams, as well as larger schools from neighboring Iowa. Many matches were close and all helped the squad grow fiercer as they head into the final weeks of the season.

The Panther girls soccer team entered the post season with a #3 seed for playoff action. Their 1st battle on the road to the state championship came against #6 Garretson on Tuesday, October 8, 2024. Dakota Valley had home turf advantage, as the higher seed, and came ready to win.

The Huskies had a nice game against the Flandreau Fliers on Friday, October 11, 2024. The victory by a score of 21-14 was made even sweeter as it was senior and parents night, at home, for Elk Point-Jefferson.

Warm October temperatures greeted the Elk Point-Jefferson cross country team for their meets at Vermillion on October 7, 2024 and in Lennox on October 10, 2024. At times conditions were windy, but the Huskies showed strength against competition from in and around southeastern South Dakota.

Friday Night Lights, on October 11, 2024, was also senior night for the Panthers as they took on the Trojans of West Central. It was a close, down to the wire contest that did not end with a win for Dakota Valley.

Class AA and Class A schools in South Dakota cannot hold a candle to the Dakota Valley dance team. To start the month of October, the Panther roster competed at O’Gorman in Sioux Falls (SF) on Tuesday, October 1st and were back north less than a week later on Monday, October 7th to dance at SF Roosevelt. Both dance meets resulted in accolades for the DV dancers.

Two cross country meets were on the agenda for Dakota Valley on October 7th and October 10th. The 1st meet had the Panthers traveling to the Bluffs Golf Course in Vermillion. The 2nd meet was the DAK 12 conference meet at Lenkota Golf Course.
