The South Dakota high school football season is nearing the halfway point, and some teams have broken through as a force to be reckoned with this year. While some stats appear more obvious than others, the overall team records hold a bit of a twist.
Jerry Palleschi with ESPN 99.1 in Sioux Falls covers high school football in the Sioux Empire. On Monday, he reported on something interesting in the overall team standings. Class 11AA currently holds a 5-3 (win/loss) record against 11AAA teams this season.
--------------------------------------------------------
11AAA Wins:
Sioux Falls Roosevelt 41 Harrisburg 8
Sioux Falls Washington 43 Yankton 19
Rapid City Stevens 39 Sturgis 3
11AA Wins:
Brookings 28 Sioux Falls Lincoln 22
Yankton 36 Aberdeen Central 25
Pierre 28 Watertown 27 (2OT)
Mitchell 13 Watertown 10 (OT)
Spearfish 25 Rapid City Central 23
--------------------------------------------------------
The season still has plenty of games remaining, and in two weeks this cross-conference record could (it probably will) look a lot different.
