This week’s schedules:
— FRIDAY
Football: home vs. Yankton in state semifinal, 7 p.m.

Football: The tone of the quarterfinal game at home against Sturgis was set in the first few seconds. Jayden Wiebe returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown. Lincoln Krueger hit Brecken Krueger on a 13-yard touchdown pass, and it was 14-0 after a quarter of a minute. A Kienholz-to-Jack Merkwan 10-yard TD pass later in the first quarter made it 21-0. Early in the second quarter Sturgis converted an interception into a touchdown on a short field to crawl to within 21-7. But Kienholz passed to Jett Zabel on a 32-yard TD pass for a 28-7 lead. It became 35-7 on a Kienholz-to-Cade Kaiser 13-yard TD pass. With nine seconds left in the first half Kienholz ran in himself from nine yards out for a 42-7 lead. That set in motion a running clock for the entire second half. Sturgis scored on a 19-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to make the final score read 42-14. The Pierre defense held the Scoopers’ top receiver to no catches on only two targets. Besides his kickoff return, Wiebe had an interception to his credit, and Chase Carda intercepted two Sturgis passes.

Volleyball: The Governors’ regular season ended with a 15-5 record. They lost Tuesday at Sioux Falls Jefferson, 3-0, on game sores of 13-25, 14-25, 17-25.

FOOTBALL CONTEST #12

We had 16 contestants in our contest last week. All of them picked Ohio State, Tennessee, TCU and USC, and 15 of them picked Buffalo and the Vikings. So there were four games that made the difference, and those who picked Syracuse, Nebraska, the Giants and the Rams to win paid the price. Nevertheless, eight of our contestants had 7-3 records. That meant nothing this week because Eric James had a perfect 10-0 record to earn 20 points (the usual 10 points for best record of the week and 10 bonus points for a perfect entry). At 9-1 for nine points were Eric Lusk and Jason Noyes. At 8-2 for eight points were Levi Neuharth, Gary Richter, Dawn Magee, Thomas Voeltz and Brad Cruse.

This week’s games (send your 10 winners to parkerhome16@hotmail.com by Saturday morning):
