The Homestake Trophy made the trip back to Rapid City after SD Mines beat BHSU 27-13 in the 140th Black Hills Brawl on Saturday night (10/4/25) in Spearfish.

Through 3 1/2 quarters of steady rainfall, it was an old fashion smash mouth football game in which SD Mines took it right to BHSU, accumulating 257 yards on the ground, primarily by running right up the middle of the Yellow Jacket defense.

While BHSU had difficulty dealing with the rainy weather conditions, including high long snaps and the inability to catch punts, SD Mines rose above and played as if the weather conditions had absolutely no effect on them whatsoever.

The Hardrockers’ defense brought the hard hitting, punch ‘em in the mouth, style of play from the 1st series to the final whistle. The defense held BHSU to a ridiculously low 157 yards of total offense, only allowing 137 passing yards and a mind blowing 20 rushing yards!

Leading SD Mines to the win were:
🏈 Gage Baker, 9 Cmps on 19 Atts for 125 Yds Passing & 3 Carries for 21 Yds Rushing;
🏈 Ty Harris, 22 Carries for 159 Yds & 2 TDs;
🏈 Dawson Dunbar, 18 Carries for 80 Yds & 1 TD;
🏈 Mason Galbreath, 3 Recs for 61 Yds;
🏈 Jacoby Ogbonna, 5 Recs for 58 Yds;
🏈 Jarin Allen, 8 Tackles (2 Solo & 6 Ast);
🏈 William Lester, 7 Tackles (3 Solo & 4 Ast) with 1.5 TFLs;
🏈 Lane Thomas, 6 Tackles (3 Solo & 3 Ast) & 2 INTs; &
🏈 Charlie Johnson, 5 Tackles (1 Solo & 4 Ast) & 1 INT.

SD Mines has won their last 2 games and look to extend that streak to 3 on Saturday when CO Mines makes the trip to Rapid City.

Here are a few SD Mines’ highlights from Saturday’s Black Hills Brawl win (there would be more, but BHSU’s broadcast of this significant game left little to be desired):

SD Mines displayed heart, grit, and pride coming back from an 11 point deficit in the 4th quarter to beat Fort Lewis 22-21 on Saturday (9/27/25) afternoon.

🏈 The Hardrockers’ R-Fr QB Gage Baker had a game! Baker completed 36 of 52 pass attempts for 310 yards & 2 TDs.

🏈 SD Mines’ R-Sr WR Mason Galbreath, who is without a doubt the most underrated WR in the conference, showed off his skills, hauling in 8 receptions for 63 yards.

Not only is Galbreath producing receptions, yards, and TDs, but he is also going an excellent job mentoring the young talent in the WR room that is paying dividends on the field.

🏈 R-Fr WR Joshua Morales had yet another stellar game with 7 receptions for 76 yards and 1 TD. Through the first 4 games of the season, Morales has 21 receptions for 234 yards and 2 TDs.

🏈 True Fr WR Jacoby Ogbonna continued his impressive rookie season with 4 receptions for 59 yards and 1 TD. On the year, the true freshman has 28 receptions for 305 yards and 3 TDs.

🏈 Sr Will Lester, as always, led the Hardrockers’ defense, racking up 6 tackles (4 Solo & 2 Ast).

🏈 Sr Nathan Kneubuhler also had a phenomenal game, tallying 6 tackles (3 Solo & 3 Ast) with 1.5 TFLs, including 1 sack.

The Hardrockers look to build upon the momentum they have generated next weekend when they travel to Spearfish to take on BHSU in the Black Hills Brawl. The last time SD Mines played in Spearfish, they took it to a BHSU team that was receiving votes, beating them on their home field 49-14.

Here are a few of SD Mines’ highlights from yesterday’s win:
