PIERRE – Khia White Eyes of Competitive Cheer and Rylan Derry of Soccer and Football are the Pierre Athletic Coaches Association-Avera Athletes of the Week for the week ending September 26.
White Eyes was lauded by Governor Competitive Cheer Head Coach Courtney Paulson, who said, “Khia really stepped up as a leader with the struggles that were thrown at the team. She showed great leadership and kept the team going in practice. I appreciate her willingness to work so hard to keep it together this week when nothing seemed to be going our way.”
Governor Football had some of its starters in quarantine for its September 25 game with Spearfish, including placekicker Carston Miller. Derry, who had never kicked a football until two days before the game, kicked well enough in practice to play in the game. He was perfect on 11 extra points in Pierre’s 79-28 win. Then, the next day, Derry had two goals and an assist as Governor Boys Soccer played to a 4-4 tie at Brookings.
