ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., November 21, 2023 – LG Electronics USA, an official partner of the NCAA®, announced the eleventh episode of The Rivalries, an original docu-series that highlights the lesser-known but no less intense rivalries in college sports. "The Black Hills Brawl," which premieres Thursday, November 24 at 8:00 p.m. EST, offers a front row seat to the oldest rivalry in Division II NCAA athletics.
Located approximately 50 miles apart along the Black Hills National Forest, the South Dakota Mines & Technology Hardrockers (SDSM&T) of Rapid City, SD and Black Hills State (BHSU) Yellow Jackets of Spearfish, SD have shared a spirited rivalry across various sports since 1895.
Last year the SDSM&T and BHSU basketball teams took center stage in the first ever episode of The Rivalries. This year the Yellow Jackets and Hardrockers will battle to take hold of the Homestake trophy in an intense football matchup that showcases the schools' longstanding history of competition. The episode will be available to watch for free on the NCAA Championships Channel after its debut airing. Future episodes will be announced at a later date.
As an official partner of the NCAA®, LG brings stories to life with its The Rivalries series, which is available for free on the NCAA Championships Channel (Channel 100) via LG Channels on LG Smart TVs.
