Pierre and Yankton Meet in State Semifinal for Second Time in Three Years

The Pierre Governors and Yankton Bucks are one step away from the state title game as they meet tonight for the second time this season at Hollister Field.

The Governors picked up a 55-10 win in Week 4 on Homecoming Night and will look to duplicate both the offensive and defensive output again tonight. The Governors have been able to hold off Yankton to one touchdown in each of the last two regular season games dating back to 2021.

The Bucks come in at 6-4 on the season with a 49-14 trouncing of Brookings, but went just 2-4 to finish the season after starting out at 3-0 including dropping four of five before its final win of the season over the Huron Tigers. The Bucks have won back to back games and seem to have things back on track heading into the semifinals. Steve Steele, head coach of the Governors says both teams are different heading into the game…

Steele says Yankton has a little bit more in defensively than the first matchup…

Steele says they are going to have to control the line of scrimmage tonight…

Coverage tonight will begin at 6:30 with kickoff at 7:00 at Hollister Field. Jon Winkler and Blake Dean will have the call on KCCR and on YouTube at KCCR Sports.
