    BROOKINGS — The South Dakota Football Coaches Association's high school all-star game returns to Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium this Saturday. After several years at the DakotaDome in Vermillion and a one-year hiatus due to lack of funding, the event debuted in Brookings last year and will be held there again in 2025, thanks largely to support from Dana Dykhouse himself and Sanford Health. The game kicks off at 11 a.m., and admission is free.

    More than half of the federal subsidies Sioux Falls City Hall anticipated in its 2025 spending plan might not materialize. Finance Director Shawn Pritchett told the City Council Tuesday that as much as $38.6 million — 57 percent — of the $67.57 million in federal funds budgeted for the year may not come through, as national budget cuts cast doubt over previously projected grant revenues.
