SD Mines accepted an invite to play Division 1 Drake on Thursday night (8/27/26) to kick off the season, and not only did they leave Des Moines with a nice payday, but also left with a 38-35 victory. Despite falling behind 10-0 in the 1st Quarter, the Hardrockers responded with a heavy dose of Dawson Dunbar, who scored the next two touchdowns on a 58 yard screen pass and a 49 yard run down the Bulldogs’ throats to take a 17-13 lead into halftime. In the 3rd Quarter, Gage Baker found former high school teammate Joshua Morales and tight end Blake Borchers for touchdown passes of 44 yards and 36 yards respectively. When momentum turned in Drake’s favor in the 4th quarter, the Hardrockers displayed the grit and perseverance we have all come to expect from a Coach Flohr team. With 7:45 remaining in the game, the Hardrockers went on a 15 play 79 yard drive that ate up 5:55 off the clock and ended with Dawson Dunbar refusing to go down until he ran it in from 3 yards out for the go ahead touchdown. While Drake had the ball with 1:50 remaining, SD Mines put the nail in the coffin with a huge interception by Senior Linebacker Charlie Johnson. Leading SD Mines to the win were: 🏈 Gage Baker, 19 Cmps on 31 Atts for 306 Yds & 3 TDs; 🏈 Dawson Dunbar, 17 Carries for 120 Yds and 2 rushing TDs & 3 Recs for 94 Yds and 1 receiving TD; 🏈 Ty Harris, 23 Carries for 108 Yds; 🏈 Joshua Morales, 4 Recs for 84 Yds & 1 TD; 🏈 Charlie Johnson, 12 Tackles (5 Solo & 7 Ast) with 1 TFL & 1 INT; & 🏈 Jarin Allen, 8 Tackles (7 Solo & 1 Ast). SD Mines will welcome Southwest Baptist to Rapid City next weekend as they attempt to built off the momentum from Thursday’s win. Here are a few Hardrockers’ highlights from Thursday’s victory: #RMAC #RMACfb #SDMinesFB #RiseOfTheRockers
