The Pierre Governors boys basketball team fell two spots and is ranked number 4 this week in the Class AA rankings of the State High School Basketball polls from the South Dakota Sportswriters Association. Mitchell continues to top the Class AA ranks.

The Pierre Governor basketball team host Mitchell tonight with a share of first place in the ESD Conference boys basketball race on the line plus it will be a chance for Pierre to take the lead for the top seed in District 3AA and hosting two games in the post season. That is something Pierre has not done since 2006. It will also be the final regular season game that Mitchell Coach Gary Munsen will coach in Pierre and possibly the final time. Munsen has announced that he will retire at the end of this season. It will be Coach Munsens 894th game he has coached and the 95th against Pierre. He has a career record of 653 and 250 and is 62-32 against the Governors.

This Saturday's scheduled Brookings JV Invitational Wrestling tournament that the Pierre Governor JV wrestling squad will be taking part in has been moved to Brandon due to the ESD Gymnastics meet being held in Brookings. The wrestling tournament is scheduled to begin at 10 am in Brandon.

Dakota Wesleyan’s men’s soccer coach Jeremy Tosaya announced Monday afternoon that brothers Tyson and Travis Moodie will join the team next fall. The Pierre natives bring the Tigers recruiting class up to nine, including five recruits from in state. The brothers will join high school teammate Michael Hardwick on the Tigers’ roster. Tyson was the Governors team captain the last two years. The midfielder/goalie was nominated to the all-state team in 2010. Travis played midfielder for the Governors. Both also competed in track at Riggs High School.
