SIOUX FALLS, S.D.-- You would think that having both his parents and both of his brothers play collegiate sports would have added a weight of expectation on Brody Schafer’s shoulders. But where some may have felt a burden, the Sioux Falls Lincoln quarterback, a senior, felt momentum. “They pushed me. But it was kind of me who did the pushing,” said Schafer. Schafer will wrap up an impressive high school career on Saturday when his Sioux Falls Lincoln Patriots take on the top-ranked team in the state, Sioux Falls Jefferson, for the 11AAA title. He has led the Patriots to the title game in each of his three years as a starter, winning the state championship in 2024 while earning various All-State and Player of the Year honors in both seasons. Brody’s older brother Tate, now playing quarterback for the University of Sioux Falls, also led Sioux Falls Lincoln to a state title in his senior season.

Josh Hawley on Monday blamed Republican election losses on his party abandoning working Americans, criticizing cuts to Medicaid that he voted to approve last year. The Missouri Republican also called for what he described as a “historic response” to last week’s election: a one-hour gathering for fasting and prayer at the U.S. Capitol next month. Hawley’s comments came as Democrats prepared to take control of both chambers of Congress and Senate Republicans confronted growing pressure to reconsider their leadership and legislative priorities. “When you abandon pro-lifers, when you abandon the needy, when you abandon the poor, when you abandon working people, the American people might have something to say about that,” Hawley told reporters at the Capitol, according to CNN.
