Congratulations to the student-athletes and coaches at St Mary’s High School, the Dakota Valley Conference Dwight Kinney Champions for the 2025-2026 school year!!<\/p>\n

The Dwight Kinney award was started in 2005 in honor of longtime Estelline AD Dwight Kinney, who was instrumental in the development of the DVC. The award recognizes the school whose teams consistently finish at the top of their respective sport for the year.<\/p>\n

After having never won this award until last year, St. Mary’s is now BACK-TO-BACK Dwight Kinney Champions! This year the teams also scored a conference record 85 points!<\/p>\n
