I am Jason Spain, former Head Soccer Coach at Minot State University and a former NCAA Division I head coach. I will be running the Sports Department at The Dakotan.

This sports section will focus on hard working, local athletes. We aim to have the latest standings and scores of all sports in North Dakota.

Our goal at the Dakotan is to tell the stories of North Dakota sports, not just the results, but also the work and the journey. Many stories will center around student athletes, but other stories might focus on someone else involved in the program – coaches, administrators, and support staff – anyone that inspires or impacts the lives of others in the sport. There are lots of amazing stories, and we want to tell them!

If you have a story idea, shoot me an email! jason.spain@mydakotan.com
