PIERRE – After dropping their season opener last week to 11AAA number-one team Harrisburg, the Pierre Governors will start the home slate Friday against the Mitchell Kernels at Hollister Field at Phil Trautner Stadium. Pierre lost 56-20 to Harrisburg and fell from first to third in the 11AA media poll, but is on top of the coaches poll.
Head Coach Steve Steele said that given the circumstances of going against Harrisburg’s enormous defensive front, the Governor offensive line fared well last Friday.
When the Kernels were last in Pierre on October 29, 2020, the Governors rallied in the fourth quarter after trailing most of the game to win the 11AA quarterfinal playoff game 34-27. Steele said that this Mitchell team looks similar to last year’s unit.
Steele said that Pierre’s defense must play carefully in this game.
Pierre will host Mitchell Friday night at Hollister Field at Phil Trautner Stadium. Coverage will begin at 6:30 on The Official Voice of the Pierre Governors, River 92.7. Live and archived video will be available at the River 92.7 page at the DRG News app and at drgnews.com. Brian Oakland will call the action.
