PIERRE, S.D. – The Pierre Governor football team continues preparations for it’s season opening football game a week from tomorrow (Friday) when they host Harrisburg at Phil Trautner Stadium at Hollister Field.

Coach Steele also feels the road to the Dakotadome for the Class 11AA division is as wide open as it has been in recent years.*
The Governors also have two new members on the coaching staff that coach Steele says are will play an important part in the Governors successes this season.*
The Harrisburg and Pierre matchup is a rematch of the State Championship game a year ago that Pierre won. Coverage of the game will be heard on the Dakota Radio Group on your Official Home for Governor Sports, RIVER 927-FM beginning at 6:25 pm.
