Jefferson dominates Harrisburg in SD high school football semifinals

The Sioux Falls Jefferson football team came into its Class 11AAA semifinal game against Harrisburg as the state’s top team. The Tigers came in as the No. 4 seed looking to pull a major upset. Safe to say, that didn’t happen. Jefferson opened the game on a 37-0 run, went into halftime up 51-12 and closed out Harrisburg’s season with a 58-20 win on Friday.
