(Spearfish, SD) – Justus Scott will not return as Spearfish Sasquatch head coach for the 2026 season, Sasquatch Owner/GM, Eric Schmidt announced today. Coach Scott departs the Spearfish Sasquatch program after two summers with a 65-37 overall record (.637) and leading the Sasquatch to their first ever League Championship in 2025. I want to sincerely thank Coach Scott for his commitment and investment in the Spearfish Sasquatch since he came on board in February of 2024,” said Eric Schmidt. “I wish Justus nothing but the best for him and his entire family.” “Justus basically inherited a team that first year (2024), so it was great to give him the opportunity to come back in 2025 and build his own team,” said Schmidt. “It was fun building a roster to compete for a championship and we were fortunate to keep some key returners and able to get some great young players,” added Scott. “I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Spearfish and met some great people! Winning the league was special. I was proud of the guys and very happy for the organization and the outstanding fans and supporters,” said Coach Scott when asked to reflect on his time here. A nationwide search for the next Spearfish Sasquatch Head Coach will begin immediately. For information on the Spearfish Sasquatch visit www.spearfishsasquatch.com .
