During the October 12, 2026 School Board meeting, the Beresford School District Board of Education recognized and congratulated sophomore Mason Hofer for his efforts in the 2026 golf season. Coach Brad Muller had a successful season, and Mason was able to qualify for the State Golf Meet. The State Golf Meet took place in Mitchell and Mason tied for 35th place. Pictured here is Board Member Dan Erickson with Mason. Congrats Mason!
The second annual School-Community Connection Night is coming in two weeks!

Congrats to Mason Hofer as he wrapped up the 2026 Boys Golf season at the SDHSAA State A Tournament. Mason shot a 82 on day 1 and a 79 on day 2 to finish 35th overall. Boys golf will return in the spring as they defend their Big East Conference Title.
Watchdog Nation-
It has come to our attention that tonight’s MCM 50/50 Raffle will benefit our very own 1st grade student, Keegan Karlson, who is currently battling leukemia.
We are incredibly appreciative of MCM’s thoughtfulness and generosity in choosing to support Keegan and his family through tonight’s raffle. It means so much to see one of our conference opponents come together to support one of our own. It’s a great reminder that while we may compete against each other, we’re all on the same team when it matters most.
Thank you, MCM, for standing with Keegan and his family. We are truly grateful for your kindness and support!
If you’re at the game tonight, consider buying a 50/50 ticket knowing your support is coming back to help one of our own Watchdogs! 💛

Due to oversaturated field conditions, all Beresford football fields (game and practice fields) are off limits to youth teams through Sunday.
Alternate practice locations include:
-BHS softball field outfield (South Campus)
-BES Turf (no cleats)
-BES North Lot (across the street from BES)
At this point, we simply need Mother Nature to do her thing and give our fields some time to dry out. We will reassess the field conditions Monday morning and post an update on whether they are ready to reopen.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. The BHS football season is only at the halfway point, so it is important that we protect our fields and keep them in the best condition possible for the remainder of the season.
