After breathing a collective sigh of relief with last night's overtime win over Sturgis, now attention must turn to Brandon Valley and their division 1 caliber quarterback Austin Sumner. Sumner threw 4 touchdown passes last night to give him 83 in his career and become the all time leader in that category in South Dakota High School Football history. The Governors did ok against him 3 weeks ago in a 21-18 loss that basically came down to the fact that BV made their extra points. Pierre didn't. We saw last night that kicking the extra point is not an exact science but oh how important it is. Pierre will not be doing a whole lot of contact in practice over the course of the next few days. Coach Kramer gave the team the day off today (Wed). Last night it seemed like Pierre played with pressure, after all they were the 6th seed and playing Sturgis, 3 years removed from the state record losing streak. Well, Sturgis played anything but a bottom tier team of any conference. If Pierre can lay their ears back on Monday and play against BV like Sturgis did against the Govs they definatly have a chance. We went in there in the quarterfinals 5 years ago and didn't have a prayer. But we did have Quincy Christie and Michael Tveidt and that group. It was a pretty quiet BV fan base at games end. There is a saying for visiting teams. "Love to see the home fans go home unhappy". Monday will be the next chance for the Govs to make that saying become reality. And by the way, I thought the officiating last night was real good. No complaints but then complaining is something that I have been told I am getting good at. So I will try to end this post with something positive.
Wear something pink to "Pack the Place Pink" tomorrow nightwhen the Lady Gov volleyball team plays Aberdeen Central on the Lady Govs Senior Night. It's all part of "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" and Penni Case up at Riggs is responsible for coming up with it. Buy a Pink T-Shirt they will be selling and have some Pink Lemonade. Money I am told will go to the American Cancer Society for Breast Cancer Awareness.

Kudos to Penni for putting that together. And kudos to those who have put similar events together in other towns around our part of the state. We have seen "Dig Pink" events at Chamberlain, Highmore, Presho, and White River in our KPLO broadcast schedule, and I know of others that were put on in Kimball and Murdo, at least. Good job, everyone!!
