beat dakota everybody exciting extremely follows game guys high knows last lead packing pierre rivalry school sent soccer south state time year
The guys are extremely excited. Everybody who follows high school soccer in South Dakota knows about how big of a rivalry we have with Pierre. Two years ago we beat them in the state championship game in Aberdeen. Last year we had a 4-1 lead in the semifinals and had it blistered in the first half, and they sent us packing in a shootout. So any time we beat Pierre in a big game, it's exciting for our players.
breakdown champions defending intense intensity last needed state time undefeated versus year
It was an intense game. They are the defending state champions and were undefeated this year. We needed to play well. We had a breakdown last year in the state tourney versus Pierre. There's a lot of intensity every time we play.
close earlier exactly expected games late nice played seed tied tight
That's exactly what we expected. We expected close games this weekend. The No. 1 seed all the way down to the No. 7 seed played tight games this season. We tied them (R.C. Central) 2-2 earlier this season. Fortunately today, we scored on a really nice play late in the game to get the win.
