The Bon Homme baseball team participated in the State High School Baseball Tournament May 29 and May 30 in Sioux Falls and opened tournament play against newcomer Rapid City Christian.

On Wednesday, May 31, Wagner’s Post 11 Senior Legion baseball team traveled to Parkston to partake in their first game of the year.

The Wagner Post 7319 VFW 14U and 16U Teener teams started their seasons this week with games in Corsica. As usual the 14U team started out first and would fall to the home team by a 4-1 score. Cruise Koupal started on the mound.

Wagner Midgets watched the game slip away early and couldn't recover in a 13-2 loss to Parkston 12U on Wednesday. Parkston 12U scored on a single by Luke and a double by Crew in the first inning.

The Wagner Red Raiders finished their season with a tough loss to Elk Point Jefferson in the Sweet 16 with a final score of 1-14. Going in as the 8th seed battling against the 9th seed, we knew we were in for a good game.

Wagner’s seven athletes traveled to Sioux Falls’ Howard Wood Field to compete in the 2023 State Track and Field Championships May 25-27. Matt Link competed in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.74 which would not be fast enough for the finals.
