THE VERY BEST PLAY HERE
SANFORD PENTAGON The Pentagon is the cornerstone of the entire Sanford Sports Complex, and the home of state, regional and national sporting events, and the Sanford Sports Academy. • Six perimeter high school-sized basketball courts • Three collegiate and professional-sized practice courts • Eleven tournament and fourteen practice volleyball courts The collegiate and professional-sized Heritage Court is a throwback to the gymnasiums of the 1950s, updated with state-of-the-art scoreboards, executive suites, food and more. Reminiscent of a time when sports were pure and simple, the Heritage Court will take you through time, and bring you right back to the reminiscent days of basketball. Adjacent to the Pentagon is the Sanford Fieldhouse. Together these facilities will provide sports-specific development opportunities for athletes from the interscholastic level to the professionals.

YOUR HOME FOR HOOPS HISTORY Sanford Pentagon is honored to feature the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame The Sanford Pentagon is the proud home of the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame. Displays change regularly – from looking back at a time when more than 300 South Dakota communities rallied around their hometown heroes to celebrating the magical moments of today. Featuring timeless memorabilia highlighting the state’s hardwood history, display cases are featured in the lobby area just to the right of the Sanford Pentagon Store. Permanently displayed on the second floor are panels with all state public school championship teams from 1912 through 1985 and Catholic school champions from 1937 through 1964. The South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame is always seeking fresh items of interest. If you, a family member or a friend have a piece of memorabilia, please contact Bob Swanhorst at btswan@sio.midco.net or (605) 321-0521
