Watertown Public Opinion

Great Plains Lutheran gets first-ever playoff win & Watertown upsets O'Gorman

WATERTOWN — What was likely the first-ever high school football doubleheader played at one site in Watertown couldn't have been more memorable on Thursday, Oct. 22. Great Plains Lutheran opened the twinbill at the Allen Mitchell Athletic Complex in the afternoon with a 22-7 win over Lead-Deadwood in an opening-round game in the state Class 9AA playoffs. It was the first playoff win in the 24-year history of the program and also helped the Panthers (7-2) break the school record for most victories in a season . A few hours later, fourth-rated Class 11AA Watertown drastically changed its playoff hopes with a stunning fourth-quarter rally to beat fifth-rated Class 11AAA O'Gorman 15-14. The Arrows scored a touchdown with 1:07 left, took the lead on a two-point conversion pass and then held own when an O'Gorman field-goal attempt in the final seconds went wide left. It was Watertown's first win over a Class 11AAA school since 2023. The two Watertown high schools have played home games on the same day before but never at the same field until Thursday. Watertown 15, O'Gorman 14 O'Gorman had plenty of chances, but Watertown's defense came up with some big plays. The Knights (5-4) drove
