Pierre Hosts Watertown in First Round of 11AA Playoffs

Pierre Hosts Watertown in First Round of 11AA Playoffs

Back in Week Seven the Pierre Governors were in its toughest battle since the first game of the season when they beat the Watertown Arrows 52-42 at home. Tonight, the two ESD schools will meet again, this time with the season on the line in the first round of the 11AA playoffs.

Both Lincoln Kienholz and Drew Norberg, the two quarterbacks, had monstrous games. Kienholz had over 250 yards through the air and over 100 yards rushing while Norberg threw for over 400 yards and five touchdowns in the loss. The two will clash again at Hollister Field and this time, both coaches will look for a lower scoring game. Head Coach of the Pierre Governors, Steve Steele says you take more from the game than you would if had been early in the season…

Trey Lewis had over 100 yards rushing against Watertown, the only game in which a runner other than Kienholz has eclipsed the century mark. Steele says a key is to be more balanced…

Steele shares the key for a win tonight against Watertown…

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 with pregame at 6:30 on KCCR, kccrradio.com and on YouTube at KCCR Sports with Jon Winkler and Greg Dean on the call. The winner of tonight’s game will face the winner of Brookings and Aberdeen Central next Friday.
