For the first time in history, the Pierre Governor softball team is scheduled to take the field on Saturday as they host the Rapid City Central Cobblers. This is the first ever year of softball sanctioned by the South Dakota High School Activities Association.
The Governors on the roster for this year have played throughout the fall as a club team, but now get to wear the school colors and be the Governors. Elizabeth Anderson is the first head coach of the Governors and while the excitement is high to start the year, she knows weather can be a factor to getting games in throughout the season…
The Governors will play their home games on the north side of the high school in a field which was reconstructed for the Governor softball team. Anderson says it’s nice to have the field on campus…
The Governors have 14 games scheduled with a midseason tournament so it will be a fast and furious season and being outside, could see a lot of change to the schedule as the year goes. For Anderson and the Governors to start out with a win, she says they need to focus on themselves…
The First Governor game will commence with first pitch at 1:00 on Saturday in Pierre.
