No upsets (kind of) last night in ESD football. Yankton beats Watertown 24-14. Yankton was up 24-0 in that one. Watertown was a little overrated at the beginning it would seem. Brookings pulled away from Huron to win 20-7 so the Governors will have a tough one next week. It is also Brookings homecoming. And the big game of the night saw Aberdeen Central outlast Brandon Valley 36-30 in triple overtime. It was quite a game I hear. The Golden Eagles will be tough to beat the rest of the way now. They have disposed by Sioux Falls O'Gorman and Brandon Valley in two of the first three weeks. Barring injuries, the ole Golden Eagles will probably be the no. 2 seed behind S.F. Washington when it comes playoff time. Washington still has to play O'Gorman at seasons end. Governors and Mitchell kickoff at 7 tonight on River 92.7. Get their early. Pierre Booster Club tailgating begins at 5.
Brookings is 4-0 in volleyball as they head into Riggs High Gym this afternoon for a 2:30 p.m. match against the Lady Govs. Brookings has won all four of their matches in 4 games. Katie Gordon, daughter of former Pierre Riggs grads Allen and Karen (Koistinen) Gordon is one of their better players. Allen was the starting quarterback on the Governors very first playoff qualifying team (back in those days not all teams qualified for the first round). He also played on the Governor basketball teams that won the 1982 state championship and was runner up in 83. Karen was a very good and fast track athlete for the Lady Govs. We will have the match on River 92.7.
And, it was a wet day to play golf yesterday at the Yankton Invitational Here is how it went for the Governor golfers. It was their lowest finish in the tournament this year as they play in the Brookings Invitational today at the Brookings Country Club.
