ONIDA – A narrow victory over rival Potter County in the first round has the Sully Buttes Chargers in the quarterfinal round of the 9B playoffs, hosting Irene-Wakonda on Thursday.
The Chargers, seeded fourth, are 7-2 after a 14-12 win over the Battlers last Thursday, Sully Buttes’ second win this season over Potter County.
Irene-Wakonda (4-5), the 12th seed, surprised Corsica-Stickney last Thursday in Corsica 61-52 as Eagles’ quarterback Dashell Spurrell threw for four touchdowns and ran for three more.
Sully Buttes Head Coach Tom Moore has seen his team start slowly lately in games. He discussed how that can be avoided.
Moore said that the Chargers’ defense has been better since losses to Herreid/Selby Area and Lyman.
Moore stressed that Irene-Wakonda is more than capable of what they accomplished last week.
The sort of game Irene-Wakonda had last week is not one Moore wants to see on Thursday.
Sully Buttes will host Irene-Wakonda Thursday in Onida in a 9B quarterfinal. Coverage will begin at 5:30 PM on Star 99, the Star 99 page at the DRG News app, and at drgnews.com/star-99, with live and archived video also available. DRG Media Group Sports Director David Burrall will call the action.
