Week 6 Games to Watch in SD

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week may be a little tougher to find games to watch. Mostly because I want to avoid doubling teams up back-to-back weeks. There are bigger schools I will put in this week and plenty of other different reasons to watch different teams this weekend. there will be a lot more 'middle of the pack' battles they will sway playoff seedings and home-field advantage in the early rounds. Check out this weeks games to watch!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sioux Falls Lincoln at O'Gorman- This may be the battle for the better playoff spot. Two teams that have a lot of talent across the board that could be a few plays away from a spectacular season. I see this as a game to determine who will host the semifinal game this season for a chance to play in the Dome. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch at Lincoln: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='89289' first='Elliott' last='Renville'], [player_tooltip player_id='56558' first='Trenton' last='Peterson'], [player_tooltip player_id='56578' first='Gabe' last='Gutierrez'], [player_tooltip player_id='174189' first='Tate' last='Schafer'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='161258' first='Tyree' last='Shorter']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch at O'Gorman: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='56580' first='Bennett' last='Dannenbring'], Ryland Sattler, [player_tooltip player_id='161240' first='Nate' last='Ratzlaff'], [player_tooltip player_id='273639' first='Gabe' last='Tschetter'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='418219' first='Joe' last='Niedringhaus'] </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rapid City Stevens at Brandon Valley- This game could have a lot riding on the result of this game. One team could have a better shot of a top five seed with a win. The other team could also slide their ranking up for the closer seeding matchup in the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Stevens: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='160905' first='Jed' last='Jenson'], [player_tooltip player_id='418216' first='Julian' last='Scott'], [player_tooltip player_id='161255' first='Hayden' last='Gebhart'], [player_tooltip player_id='174172' first='Destin' last='Glynn'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='174193' first='Beck' last='Morgan'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from BV: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='101167' first='Andrew' last='Bunkers'], [player_tooltip player_id='77493' first='Navarro' last='Schunke'], [player_tooltip player_id='101217' first='Lucas' last='Slack'], [player_tooltip player_id='273689' first='Isaac' last='Johnson'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='56568' first='Nate' last='Andresen'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sturgis Brown at St. Thomas More- Sturgis Brown has played the bigger schools to tight contests this year. St. Thomas More has won some impressive games this year against both the bigger and smaller schools. This game could either determine a playoff spot, or a better seed based on the result and score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Sturgis: <strong>Reese Jacobs, Gunnar Rohloff, [player_tooltip player_id='160904' first='Owen' last='Cass'], [player_tooltip player_id='294145' first='Tyan' last='Buus'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='89281' first='Zak' last='Juelfs']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from STM: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='423296' first='Kaden' last='Peterson'], Matthew Larson, Aidan Mason, [player_tooltip player_id='294162' first='Peyton' last='Young'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='273687' first='Easton' last='Ogle'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hamlin at Castlewood- The inaugural 'Battle for the Brick' seems like the beginning of a great rivalry. Hamlin has won all their games on lopsided scores to get themselves out to a nice midseason ranking. Castlewood has had an impressive close score victory against a good team this year with the rest being blowouts. I see this as a good multi-class battle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Hamlin: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='89279' first='Luke' last='Fraser'], [player_tooltip player_id='326820' first='Jameson' last='Nebel'], &amp; Tyson Stevenson.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Castlewood: <strong>Lane Tvedt, [player_tooltip player_id='242335' first='Carson' last='Kirwan'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='101215' first='Jeremiah' last='Wiersma']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bon Homme at Platte-Geddes- Bon Homme has a good core of athletes that are seniors this year with a couple years of playing experience on a varisty field. They have had a couple big score wins as well as a close score loss. Platte-Geddes has been a traditionally good team for the past few seasons. They had a tough start to the season with a couple close game losses, but have since turned it around and had a couple close score victories. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Bon Homme: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='56579' first='Riley' last='Rothschadl'], [player_tooltip player_id='101176' first='Isaac' last='Crownover'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='101177' first='Logan' last='Winckler'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Platte-Geddes: <strong>Joey Foxley, Caden Oberbroekling, &amp; Parker Bailey.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lyman at Wall- These are two 9-man schools that have really exploded to start the season. Each team has had their blowout victories and a couple to common opponents. Lyman has ran away with each of their victories as the season began. Wall ran away from each of their opponents early and hit the mercy rule in most of them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Lyman: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='56556' first='Cooper' last='Long'] &amp; Tegan Gourneau.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Wall: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='77462' first='Cedar' last='Amiotte'] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='395537' first='Rylan' last='McDonnell']. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
