As the University of South Dakota football program emerges as a Midwest power, former Humboldt High standout Tayeton Lohaus is excited to be a part of the revival.

Lohaus, an all-state defensive end for Humboldt, has made the switch inside to defensive tackle for the Coyotes, who finished 10-3 overall in 2023, 7-1 and second in the Missouri Valley Conference to South Dakota State (8-0).

“It’s definitely a change, moving into the interior line, but I think it’s what is best for me,” Lohaus said. “I think my frame fits that position well and I think I should be able to do good things,” Lohaus said.

Daryle Zwiefel couldn’t help but be a little emotional. For the last three years he’s been a key part of a fundraising effort to build a Veterans Memorial. When his group met with city officials for the groundbreaking ceremony on Aug. 6 in the southwest corner of Worthington Park, their dream became reality.

“I’m so thrilled with the city, the parks board…just everybody. It’s beyond belief for me to get this kind of support in the short amount of time,” said Zwiefel, whose Humboldt Veterans Memorial Association has raised over $150,000 for the project. “We have a ways to go but we are getting very close.”

“It will be three to four weeks to get the cement laid for the base of the memorial. Jason Dodd, the contractor, will use a special coating. We are in the middle of trying to get the stones engraved. That’s been our biggest hurdle. I have 1,400 stones in my garage,” Zwiefel said.
