<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SOUTH DAKOTA-- </strong>After a busy week in the Dakotas across our multiple<strong> </strong>networks and a new site launch, we are finally getting to our Big Dogs of the Week in a rare fashion a week later than we would prefer in the State of South Dakota. There were a lot of Stat Monsters in this group, which is why we thought it would be best to rattle who balled out in Week 3 first, before we get to Week 4 coming thru in the next 24 hours or less.
