The Maȟpíya Lúta Tȟabkapsilyapi opened the 2026 golf season on Thursday, August 27th, competing at the Stevens Invite in Rapid City. It was a day that showcased not only the talent of this young group but also the remarkable dedication of student athletes who gave everything they had on the course before turning around and suiting up for the football field later that same night.
On the Course
Topa Jack led the team with a round of 104, continuing to build on the promise he has shown as a competitor. Christian Jack followed with a score of 119, balancing his roles as one of the team’s key contributors on both the golf course and the football field. Kallen Jack posted a 121 in a solid outing, while Kendall LeBeau rounded out the team with a score of 127.
Two Sports, One Day
What makes this opening day performance even more remarkable is that Christian Jack, Kendall LeBeau, and Kallen Jack competed in the golf invite before heading straight into action for the football team’s season opener against Little Wound later that evening, a 42-6 Maȟpíya Lúta victory. That kind of commitment and toughness speaks volumes about the character of these young men.
Looking Ahead
With the first round of the season in the books, the Maȟpíya Lúta Tȟabkapsilyapi have a foundation to build from. As the team continues to grow and gain experience, the sky is the limit for this dedicated group of golfers.
