The Black Hills Brawl is an annual football game between Black Hills State University and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.[1] Also known as The Battle for the Homestake Trophy[2] [3] [4] or rarely called the West River Rivalry, the winner of the game receives the Homestake Trophy.[5] [6] [7] The current venues the game is played in are Lyle Hare Stadium since 1960 (Black Hills State) and O'Harra Stadium since 1938 (South Dakota Mines). First played in 1895 and played 138 times, the Black Hills Brawl is the most played in NCAA Division II and tied for the oldest rivalry in DII (alongside the Battle of the Ravine); it is the 4th most played rivalry nationwide in any division (behind only The Game, Princeton–Yale, and The Rivalry).
The first meeting in November 28, 1895, was between SDSM&T (then known as the Dakota School of Mines) and a now-defunct and unrelated Methodist college in Hot Springs known as Black Hills College, after BHSU (then known as Spearfish Normal) turned Black Hills College down. Despite this, both current schools generally include this game in the rivalry's chronology, but do not count it against their records; the first official meeting did not come until 1900.
