Week 10 Games to Watch in SD

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week will be a little shorter with four classes starting playoffs this week and Classes 11A and above in their final week of the regular season. There will be a lot of playoff shifting after this week with teams playing for that last win to get them that higher spot, or teams waiting on one another to help each other out with that final push. These games may be dogfights this week considering the circumstances for them all. Check them out below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brandon Valley @ Sioux Falls Washington- There is currently a three-way tie with records including these two teams. Whoever wins this game will more than likely get the 5th seed. BV has had closer contests with similar opponents, but Washington is look to snap a three game skid against a tough stretch in their schedule. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Brandon Valley:<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='101217' first='Lucas' last='Slack'], [player_tooltip player_id='101167' first='Andrew' last='Bunkers'], [player_tooltip player_id='273689' first='Isaac' last='Johnson'], [player_tooltip player_id='56568' first='Nate' last='Andresen'], &amp; Dylan Langerock.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from SF Washington: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='205259' first='Abraham' last='Myers'], [player_tooltip player_id='273647' first='Eric' last='Zeyon'], [player_tooltip player_id='418224' first='Mandalla' last='Mohamed'], [player_tooltip player_id='205262' first='Elijah' last='Taniah'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='174205' first='Mason' last='Wilson'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harrisburg @ O'Gorman- Straight up dogfight for sole ownership of 2nd seed. Harrisburg lost the opening game of the season and has been hot ever since. O'Gorman has been hot all year with a couple hiccups along the way. I see this game being a shootout between two impressive offensive teams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Harrisburg- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='287085' first='Dylan' last='Elrod'], Rich Benege, Timothy Bishop, [player_tooltip player_id='273641' first='Caiden' last='Mason'] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='357349' first='Tytan' last='Tryon'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from O'Gorman- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='56580' first='Bennett' last='Dannenbring'], Ryland Sattler, Nathan Ratzlaff, [player_tooltip player_id='273640' first='Aden' last='Scott'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='273639' first='Gabe' last='Tschetter'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dell Rapids @ Dakota Valley- Two top five schools in Class 11A. Dell Rapids looking to seal the top seed throughout the playoffs. Dakota Valley looking to maybe break the top four and get a first round playoff game. Both teams have traditionally been run first, so this may be a defensive chess match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Dell Rapids- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='294167' first='Aiden' last='Geraets'], [player_tooltip player_id='294170' first='Mason' last='Stubbe'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='294169' first='Jack' last='Henry'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Dakota Valley- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='160909' first='Ethan' last='Anema'], [player_tooltip player_id='174200' first='Trae' last='Piel'], &amp; Jaxon Hennies</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vermillion @ Belle Fourche- This game has a lot riding on it as both theses teams are on the outside looking in on the playoff picture. Vermillion has hung tough in all their games this year, and Belle Fourche has hung tough with a tough schedule as well. Either one could win and potentially be in with a little help from the following game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Vermillion- <strong>Ty Hertz, Roz Baylor, Connor Larson, Zoan Robinson, &amp; Trillion Sorrell.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Belle Fourche- <strong>Jayden Sechser, [player_tooltip player_id='305545' first='Kyren' last='Nulle'].</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sioux Falls Christian @ Lennox- If Lennox wins, they solidify their spot in the playoffs. If Sioux Falls Christian wins, they get a home playoff game. Lennox is looking to snap a four game skid against the toughest part of their schedule. Christian has hung tough with some of the top teams in the Class. This game has a direct effect on some other teams' playoff fate as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from SFC- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='56552' first='Carter' last='Van Donge'], Tate Snyder, Kade VanEgdom, &amp; Tate Van Horssen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Players to Watch from Lennox- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237942' first='Braeden' last='Wulf'], Jase Lanbehn, [player_tooltip player_id='276828' first='Cody' last='Peterson'], &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='161248' first='Gabe' last='Beman']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
