Some Sunday morning sports stuff from Rod

It was a happy new year beginning for the Pierre Governor wrestling team as they belted Watertown 37-16 in an ESD Conference dual match Saturday night at Riggs High Gym. The Governors won 10 of the 13 matches with Chase Lettau (160 lbs.) and Tanner Schaefer (189 lbs.) recording pins and Terrance Maier (171 lbs) won by a major decision for the Governors in the highlight matches of the night. With the win, the Governors improved to 1-1 in ESD duals and 4-2 overall. The Governor JV's won big also b6 a 60-24 score.


Despite a season high 27 point effort from junior Jake Miller, the Stanley County Buffalos boys basketball team was no match for Canton Saturday at the East-West Classic in Chamberlain. The C-Hawks rolled to a 77-57 win over the Buffalos behind Jake Twedt’s 18 points. Brady Aberle added 8 points and Latrell LaRoche and Austin Lapour had 6 each.

The defending State B boys basketball champion Sully Buttes Chargers made a statement Saturday night at the Parkston Classic. That statement was, if you want to win the B state title this year, you will have to go through Onida, Blunt and Agar. The Chargers upended top ranked Viborg 53-52 in the feature game of the Classic. Tate Senftner led the Chargers with 16 points while Mitchell Foth and Jordan Lamb each added 10 apiece. Foth and Senftner each had 8 rebounds for Sully Buttes as well. Cory Jacobsen led Viborg with 17.

The Stanley County Lady Buffalos basketball team suffered their 2nd loss of the season as they were beaten 64-44 by Northwestern Area at the Redfield Classic. The Lady Buffalos dug themselves an early hole trailing 13-3 after 1 quarter and were down 26-12 at the half as they could not rebound from their slow start. Brandi Prince scored 22 points to lead Stanley County. Kori Nutter added 8 for the Lady Buffs who did outrebound Northwestern 40-30 but could not overcome 30 turnovers. Micah Taylor led Northwestern with 12 points.

The Brookings Rangers scored 3 first period goals on Saturday night and made it standup as they edged the Pierre-Ft. Pierre Capitals 3-2 in a state high school league game at the EXPO Center. Max Hanson scored a first period goal and Andy Zarecky added a second period power play goal for the Capitals who suffered their third 2nd 1 goal loss to Brookings this season in state high school league play. Cody Bishop made 21 saves in goal for Pierre-Ft. Pierre which out-shot Brookings 36-24 in the match. The Capitals and Rangers play again this afternoon at the EXPO Center.
