They’ll first have to face Tri-Valley, a team that already beat the Tanagers this season. Vermillion looked good again and they continue to pose a threat to Madison and Canton. Pair that with a smart and quick defense, the Quarriers are a team to watch in 11A. When this offense gets clicking, led by quarterback Austin Henry, the Quarriers can score in bunches. Unfortunately, Lennox was the team that found themselves on the outside looking in.ĭell Rapids suffered a big loss to Madison three weeks ago, but they have responded! The Quarriers win over Dakota Valley looked nice, but their win over a talented Tri-Valley team, by 37 points, certainly opened some eyes. Madison and Canton were locked in as the one and two, but the three through nine spots were up for grabs. They have pieces of the puzzle that they could put together and potentially earn an upset win in the quarters or semis.ġ1A was a class that had some much potential for shakeups in their standings prior to the playoffs next Thursday. Both of those teams are teams to watch in the playoffs. Yankton looked good in a close win over Watertown. They don’t allow big plays and they find way to slow down their opponents. Not to mention, they have an offense that scores a lot of points, creating pressure for opponents, but their defense does the same thing. They have depth on offense and defense, which allows them to constantly have fresh legs at several positions. Not much to say about top-ranked Tea Area. Impressive showing by the Bobcats as they are now the two seed in 11AA. Their defense has been playing well over the past several weeks and that continued as they held a talented Pierre offense to just 14 points. The most significant thing we learned is that Brookings is a real threat in the class. I’m not sure if there was too much that we learned from week ten in 11AA. The Raiders are back in the playoffs, but they’ll have some work to do if they want to play spoiler against #1 Harrisburg.ġ1AAA #3 Roosevelt 41, Aberdeen Central 14 Rapid City Stevens looked sharp in all three phases of the game, and they muscled past Rapid City Central. Now an injury to Taylen Ashley is just going to add more salt to Jefferson’s open wound of injured players. They’ve had quite a few injuries and with a roster of less than 50 players, they’re pretty thin in some spots. That OG defense is still flying around and making plays. The Knights offense has been better, and they’ll need to carry that momentum into the playoffs. If the Knights want to be a contender, they need to show out like they did against those four teams as they all possess losing records. They cruised past Rapid City Stevens, Rapid City Central, Huron and Jefferson by an average of 48 points per game.

O’Gorman has finished the season as hot as any team in the class. I’ve been saying this, but Washington is a threat in 11AAA. Not to mention, the emergence of Elijah Teniah as one of the state’s top running backs has helped quarterback Max Thomson take that next step. Washington’s suffocating defense is certainly something to keep an eye on. The Warriors outscored Lincoln 17-7 after that point. The Warriors jumped out to an early lead, but Lincoln evened it up at 17. Washington’s win over Lincoln was impressive. The Rough Riders have won five of their past six and they are scoring nearly 45 points per game in that stretch! Roosevelt had some work to do on offense early in the season, but now coach Kim Nelson has them playing at max efficiency. The Rough Riders are one of the state’s hottest teams and they continued that trend with a 41-14 win over Aberdeen Central. We didn’t learn a whole lot from third ranked Roosevelt. Brandon Valley will correct their mistakes and be a tough team in the postseason. If you take out their five turnovers, the score would’ve been 16-14. Second ranked Brandon Valley lost by 29 points, but that was not the average Lynx performance.
