A flag football team of Dakota State University students recently took first place in the regional tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska. Teams from Colorado, Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska competed for the $1500 prize. The money will be used by the DSU team to travel to the national flag football tournament in New Orleans in December.

Members of the team included Jake Pettengill, Kyle Hoffman, Matthew Trotter, Keith Young, Ryan Breitling, Jay Kruse, Bryan Melvin, and Kyle Bruinsma.
