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. "Our defense, phenomenal job getting stops,” Jefferson head coach Eric Struck said. “We knew the way they’d played the last few weeks. They’re want to lean on their run game, so for us to get up and essentially take that away from them as early as we did was huge.” The Cavaliers applied immediate pressure behind its sterling defense. That unit has been one of the top, if not the top, in South Dakota all year, and it flexed its muscles on Friday night. Harrisburg was limited to 151 passing and 66 rushing yards for 217 total. The Tigers went three-and-out on their first three possessions, and that was all the Cavaliers needed to get going. “Offensively and defensively, it was a fundamentally-sound game all around,” Jefferson linebacker Beau Koerner said. “Harrisburg just quit.

Watertown Public Opinion

Clark-Willow Lake, Hamlin, Britton-Hecla, Castlewood & Warner fall in semis

YANKTON — For the second time in three years, Watertown is facing perennial power Pierre for the state Class 11AA football championship. The third-seeded Arrows (8-3) secured their spot in the 2026 state Class 11AA title game by getting touchdowns from Hunter Peterson and Tyson Miller in the final five minutes and 10 seconds to rally for a 35-25 semifinal victory over No. 2 Yankton on Friday night. The late surge lifted Watertown (8-3) to victory in a game that it led 21-10 at halftime. The Arrows won 42-14 at Yankton during the regular season. "I guarantee you not many teams have won twice at Yankton in the same season," Watertown coach John Hodorff said. "It's a tribute to our kids. There were multiple times in the football game they could have given up. It's a credit to all our players and coaches that it didn't happen. We came back, made some plays and won the game." Yankton had won five-straight games since the regular-season loss to Watertown and the Bucks definitely showed they were an improved team. After the Arrows used Holton Schutt's 50-yard return on the opening kickoff to set up Kaeden Himmerich's 34-yard touchdown pass to Miller,
