Quarterfinal Round of High School football on ESPN 99.1 FM

Join ESPN 99.1 FM Monday (Oct 31st) for a triple header of high school football starting at 2pm with Brad Peterson and Jeff Fylling.

#8 Brookings Bobcats at #1 Sioux Falls Lincoln Patriots   2:00pm

The Patriots are coming off the bye week looking to keep the momentum going off there emotional last second win the last week of the regular season at O'Gorman 29-28. The Bobcats are coming off there win vs RC Central in the first round of the playoffs 37-22 and hope to keep it going. These two teams met in week #7 with the patriots winning 45-15.

#7 Brandon Valley at  #2 Sioux Falls Roosevelt                5:00pm

 The Rough Riders are coming off a bye the first round and lost to the Washington Warriors in the last game of the regular season 18-25. If the riders want to get into the semi-finals they will have to get off to a better start then they did against the Warriors. The Lynxs are coming off a first round win vs RC Stevens 42-14. The Lynxs controlled the game from the beginning and lead 28-0 at halftime. Matt Vandeberg broke things open with an incredible individual performance. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound junior scored four touchdowns and came up with three interceptions - all in span of about 14 minutes. The bigger question for the Lynxs is the health of senior Trevor Crow who had 102 yards on 11 carries all before halftime. He suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter and didn't return. The Lynxs have yet to face the Riders who were ranked #1 before their loss to the Warriors this season.

#5 Mitchell Kernels at #4 Sioux Falls Washington           8:00pm

The Washington Warriors are coming off a bye and a win in the last game of the regular season vs the Riders 25-18. The Kernels are coming off their first round win 42-14 over Aberdeen Central. They are lead by the Greenways. Jason Greenway rushed 16 times for 94 yards and scored on a 40-yard run. Justin Greenway added an 8-yard TD run. In a match up of two good offensive teams it might come down to who can stop who when the game is on the line.


#6 Yankton Bucks at #3 O'Gorman Knights                     6:30pm

The Knights are coming off the bye and a last second loss to the Patriots 29-28 in last game of the regular season. In that game the Knights lost halfback Flynn Donelan to a broken collarbone on the first offensive play from scrimmage. The question on every body's mind is he going to play? He does give O'Gorman another back to go with Sam Steffl who rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown in their last game against the Patriots. The Bucks are coming off their win at home against Pierre 27-13. The last time these two teams met in the playoffs was for the 2005 state championship. 


ESPN 99.1 will have scores from all the games with Jeff Harkness. Join us Monday, Oct 31st as we get one step closer to crowning a state high school football champion for the 2011 season. Also don't forget to vote on the poll who you think will win the 11AA state championship.

Harrisburg vs Elk-Point Jefferson Volleyball: Pink Out 2011

Harisburg Tigers vs Elk-Point Jefferson Huskies

One theme was evident last night and that was the color pink! It was the 3rd annual "Dig for a Cure" breast cancer awareness volleyball match between the Lady Tigers and the Lady Huskies. Here is a recap of last night's action from the Harrisburg gym.

Game #1 The huskies jumped out 6-0 early only to see the Tigers fight back to a 7-7 tied, after going back and forth for most of the game it ended up tied at 19. The huskies pulled ahead 23-19 and went on to take the game 25-19.

Game #2 The Tigers came right back in the 2nd game jumping on the Huskies 10-7, after a timeout by the Huskies the Tigers managed to build a 5 point lead at 16-11. The tigers rode the momentum and the crowd to win the 2nd game 25-18.

Game #3 The tigers use the momentum gained in the last game to take a 6-4 lead but after a timeout by the huskies they regained control and never looked back jumping out to a 15-11 lead and cruising to a 25-15 win to gain back momentum.

Game #4 The huskies used that momentum and got out to a 4-0 start, after a timeout by the tigers the huskies build the lead to ten leading 14-4. The tigers could not get any closer then 18-9 and the huskies went on to win the
4th game 25-13.

Some game stats include:

For Harrisburg: Kaylee Schirado had 10 kills and Jordan Beiswanger had 14 assists

For Elk-Point Jefferson: Lexi Branson had 21 kills and Hope Erickson had 19 assists

Harrisburg (5-9) is at Dakota Valley on Thursday, Oct 6th
Elk-Point Jefferson (12-7) is at South Sioux City, NE on Monday, Oct 10th.

Thanks to the community of Harrisburg for raising awareness for breast cancer in their "Dig for a Cure" event.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month & honoring Rose Abbink Schroeder

As we turn the calendar over to a new month I am going to take this month and change my background to pink to honor my mom that passed away from breast cancer on August 24th, 2006. I know I usually take the time to write about high school sports but I am going to take just this once to reflect on a women that has meant so much to me, my mom!

Rose Abbink Schroeder was born on June 12th, 1950 to Gerrit and Fannie (Pronk) Abbink in Luverne, Mn. She grew up on the family farm in Edgerton, Mn and went to St. Luke's Nurses Training in Sioux City, IA graduating in June of 1971. She married my dad (Lee) on July 31, 1971. My mom worked as a nurse at the Tuff Memorial home and Palasaides Manor for over twenty-five years. She enjoyed helping people and making a difference in someones life.

My mom also loved supporting her kids in everything that they did. I couldn't play sports after 8th grade but that didn't matter to my mom. I still loved sports so I was the student manager in just about every sport you can think of and even though I wasn't playing mom was still there to support the team. She never missed a Hills-Beaver Creek football game on Friday night, was there the night we won the district championship over Pipestone in basketball my junior year, came with me as "the nurse" for our band trip to St. Louis my junior year and watched me graduate from H-BC in 1994. It doesn't stop there. I went into coaching after high school both volleyball and basketball and even though my mom had no idea my players names she was always there cheering on my teams! I am pretty sure she enjoyed me coaching the volleyball more then the basketball but she was always there for both! I'm still convinced my mom helped me win the volleyball city championship when I was coaching at O'Gorman.

As I move into the broadcasting side of it now I still wish she would have got to see me broadcast the "AA" girls' state championship game between O'Gorman and Brandon Valley last year with my good friend Brad Peterson but I know she was there watching over me that night.

After her death in 2006 I had two benefits in her honor called "Shootn' for a Cure." We raised money for the American Cancer Society and had a charity basketball game and silent auction both years. I am proud to report that we raised over $8000 to try and find a cure and all the money stayed local. I want to put on another one in the near future but need a home to play the basketball game. It was a lot of work putting on the benefits but well worth it in the end. I miss you  every day mom!  I look forward to the day I will see you in heaven! RIP mom!


I look forward to updating you on high school basketball this winter for ESPN 99.1 FM and 1140 KSOO AM. Help me find a cure for breast cancer!
