Honoring the Flag For years Veterans have wanted to salute the U S Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem instead of just placing their hand over their heart Now they can A Congressional Amendment specifically states that members of the Armed Forces and Veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute The salute is a form of honor and respect representing pride in one s military service Veterans and service members continue representing the military services even when not in uniform The following song will be sung prior to various sessions of the State Tournament THE LAKOTA FLAG SONG taken from Songs and Dances of the Lakota In this the Lakota the white people and the foreign people other Indians used to consider each other as enemies Now we exist as a country and as one people we will consider each other as friends because of that we will gather ourselves under this flag We will die for it or defend for each other under it So that is the reason we will live under the flag the United States flag We will be as one So be it That is why we sing this song The translation of the Lakota Flag Song to English is as follows The President s flag will stand forever Under it the people will grow so I do this Mercy rule shall be used for all regular season Region and Sweet 16 contests When the point differential reaches 30 or more points in the 2nd half the clock will continue to run The clock will only be stopped for free throws and timeouts Regular timing will be used if the score differential drops back to less than 20 points Games will be two 16 minute halves 6 2021 Lakota Nation Invitational December 15th 18th 2021 www lakotanationinvitational com

STEVE WITHORNE MEMORIAL AWARD A Tribute to a Player and a Referee for all Seasons By Coach Dave Strain He stood six foot four or better but he always looked bigger As a youngster playing little league baseball in Rapid City SD his coach a Lutheran minister on more than one occasion produce a copy of Steve s birth certificate to verify his legal age as he stepped to the pitcher s mound The opponent s disbelieving parents and coach couldn t fathom that this man child athlete was of legal age to compete in their juvenile athletic bubble But here he was ready to play with that infectious grin that made easy friendships Even his smile was huge From his early childhood athletic exploits into junior high to high school through his college years are woven a string of remarkable individual and team accomplishments that defy comparison By the time Steve was a starting forward on the 1969 Rapid City Cobbler State A Basketball championship team as a junior he had been on the losing side of only one scheduled cage game in his formative years And the power forward was a true athlete In the fall of his junior year in 1968 Steve s Cobbler football team played Sioux Falls O Gorman for the mythical State A championship football title in Rapid City During junior and senior championship years the the Cobbler basketball team was voted in the polls as the top State A basketball team of both the 1969 and 1970 seasons winning the State A Basketball Tournament outright in 1969 with a narrow miss the following year Steve s outstanding play on the hard court was a big contributing factor to the forty one consecutive wins over a South Dakota basketball opponents during this two year period By earning class A All State football and basketball honors during his high school athletic career Steve joined an elite group of athletes who have accomplished the rare individual feat of dual sport all state honors And it didn t stop there At Dakota Wesleyan University he continued his athletic excellence on title winning basketball and football in the South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference In 1974 he was named all SDIC and all District in football and in 1975 he earned a tryout as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys He graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts in sociology from Dakota Wesleyan University In 1998 Steve was inducted into the DWU Athletic Hall of Fame But it was after his formal education that Withorne perhaps made his greatest athletic impact At a time when few Lakota Dakota basketball and football referees were given the opportunity to officiate playoff high school athletic events Steve broke the barrier for minority officials to be an active participant in the district region and state tournament picture His competence and revered athleticism paved the way the way for the minority official to be truly recognized for playoff consideration South Dakota Concussion Legislation 1 Who Does The Law Apply To Every coach youth athlete and their parent s or guardian
