South Dakota 2026 Regular Session

South Dakota Senate Bill SC826

Caption

Celebrating the Wall High School Eagles as the 2025 Class 9A State Football Champions.

Summary

SC826 is a legislative commemoration honoring the Wall High School Eagles for winning the 2025 South Dakota Class 9A State Football Championship. The resolution recognizes the team’s undefeated 12-0 season, its record-setting 656-point offense, and its 60-6 championship victory over Howard. It also highlights standout performances by players including Kean Hofer, Tanner Volmer, and Jace Mohr, who was named the game’s Joe Robbie Most Valuable Player and Outstanding Back. The measure further credits the coaching staff, athletic staff, school administrators, and the Wall community for helping build a program defined by discipline, resilience, accountability, and sportsmanship. As a commemoration, the bill does not create or amend substantive law; instead, it formally expresses the Legislature’s recognition and congratulations to the team and its supporters.

Impact

SC826 has no regulatory or fiscal effect and does not amend the South Dakota Codified Laws. Its legal impact is limited to an official legislative tribute entered into the record by the One Hundred First Legislature, recognizing the Wall High School Eagles’ championship season and the community behind the program.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the bill is strongly positive and celebratory. The text is entirely laudatory, and the available context shows no recorded opposition, committee controversy, or negative votes. It reflects broad appreciation for the team’s athletic achievement and the pride it brought to Wall and the state.

Contention

There is no notable contention associated with SC826. Because it is a ceremonial commemoration rather than policy legislation, the bill does not appear to have generated debate over lawmaking, spending, or state authority. The only substantive focus is on honoring the team, coaches, and community for their championship season.
