RAPID CITY – Another honor came Saturday for one of the most honored athletes ever at T.F. Riggs High School.
Pierre Governor senior Lincoln Kienholz was named as the 2023 AA boys Spirit of Su winner during halftime of the AA boys state championship game.
Award nominees are judged, as the SDHSAA says, on “outstanding athletic ability, leadership, character, sportsmanship and grade point average.”
Kienholz, who maintains a 4.0 GPA, is South Dakota’s all-time leading passer in football and was the starting quarterback for Pierre’s 11AA state championship teams in 2020, 2021 and 2022. He completed his Governor basketball career Saturday with 1,464 points, the second-most in program history, and scored the winning basket in Pierre’s 68-67 double-overtime victory over Harrisburg for fifth place at the state tournament. Kienholz also has excelled in baseball for the Pierre Governors and for Post 8.
