It’s been a historic season for the Pierre Governor boys soccer programs and it’s yet to reach the end of the regular season. Saturday’s game in Brandon saw Cole Peterson and Rylan Derry break career marks.
The Governors offensive output has been something it’s not seen since soccer has become a state sport. The Govs have scored 31 goals in nine games this season. Of the 31 goals, Peterson and Derry have combined for 25 with Peterson at 15 and Derry at 10. Saturday’s game marked historic goals for both Peterson and Derry as they now have 17 career goals each, breaking the career record which was set by Cole Cruse with 16. Derry also holds the career assist record with 16 while the previous record was 11.
Peterson says this season has been a lot of fun…
Derry echoes the excitement the offense has been able to bring to Govs this year compared to the last several years…
With four games still left to play, the duo can extend the record and Peterson is ready for the challenge…
With Peterson being a senior and Derry a junior, he has a full season to hold the record on his own by the end of his career, but Derry says that’s not what he’s thinking about right now…
The Governors have four games left in the season and Peterson says they have one goal to finish before heading into the playoffs…
The Governors will be in Brookings on Thursday to face the Bobcats before returning home for the final three matches of the season. All three home games will be on KCCR, kccrradio.com and on YouTube at KCCR Sports.
