PIERRE – Pierre Governor Volleyball will look for consecutive state tournament appearances for the first time since the last decade Friday when it hosts Brandon Valley in a AA SoDak 16 match at the Riggs High Gym.
The match had been originally scheduled for Thursday, but was moved back a day due to the forecast of winter weather in the capital city starting late Wednesday night.
Pierre was 15-5 in the regular season, which ended with a three-set loss at Sioux Falls Jefferson on November 1. On October 1 in Brandon, the Governors swept Brandon Valley. In last season’s state tournament, Brandon Valley came from two sets down to win over Pierre in five sets in the first round.
Brandon Valley was 10-20 in the regular season.
Looking back to the Jefferson match last week, Pierre Head Coach Tiffany Stoeser said that the reason was simple that the Governors were swept by the Cavaliers.
Stoeser is certain that Brandon Valley will be just as motivated as her team.
Stoeser wants the Governors to make the most out of what should be a big day on Friday.
Stoeser pointed out an incentive for more fans, specifically students, to attend the match.
Pierre last made consecutive tournaments from 2014-16. Coverage of Friday’s match will begin at 12:30 PM on The Official Voice of the Pierre Governors, River 92.7, at the River 92.7 page at the DRG News app and at drgnews.com/river, with live and archived video available. Brian Oakland will call the action.
