At 9-3-1, a win keeps them in the top four of the standings which guarantees them two home playoff games. Brookings, at 4-8-1, are trying to hang on to a playoff spot in 16th place.
The Governor boys will trying for its ninth win of the year. Pierre is 8-3-2 and a win will for sure keep them at home in the first round of the playoffs next week Tuesday, but a win sends the Govs into the playoffs going 5-1-1 in the last seven games. Brookings, at 5-6-2, is in 13th place and wants to try and move up a spot before the end of the season for a more favorable first round matchup.
Both varsity teams will kickoff at the same time, at 5:00 at the PILC Fields in Pierre. The playoffs begin on Tuesday next week.
