What should be the third game of the season for the Pierre Governor soccer teams, will only be the second as the Roosevelt Roughriders will be in town today to face the Govs.
Pierre was scheduled to play Aberdeen Central and Brookings last weekend, but only got Friday’s games in against Aberdeen Central and the Brookings match was postponed. Now the Govs will face Roosevelt in the lone game of the week. Roosevelt played Jefferson last Friday, but last year the Roughriders girls team went 4-7-2 falling in the first round of the playoffs to O’Gorman. Pierre put a hurt on Roosevelt beating them 6-1 in Pierre. The Governors look to start 2-0 which has been the case for the last several years.
The Governor boys will look to be 1-1 heading into having the rest of the week off. Pierre nearly got a tie with Aberdeen Central, but fell late. Roosevelt comes in at 1-0 with a 2-1 win over Jefferson. Last year, the Govs tied the Roughriders 1-1 as Roosevelt finished the season at 1-8-3 and fell in the first round of the playoffs to the O’Gorman Knights.
The Governor girls are scheduled to play first at 4:00 with the boys game to follow at 6:00 at the PILC Fields in Pierre.
