The Championship Game

 by Allison In’t Veld

The championship game between Yankton and Pierre was a tough one. Many fans were excited to see how the game was going to go. All the fans were on the edge of their seats waiting for the game to start. The game started with Yankton’s Josue Trujillomelgoza kicking off. Pierre received it around the thirty yard line, and they were off. Pierre’s number 2, Tyan Buss ran it to the 40 yard line. Pierre Continued to run the ball most of the time in the next few plays. They got far enough that they eventually felt comfortable to pass it in for a touchdown. The pass-while being a good pass-was overthrown and resulted in an incomplete pass. Now I’m not going to go play by play but I will give the important details. Around the end of the first quarter, and I mean like a minute left Pierre called a timeout. Right after they called a timeout Pierre ran it in for a touchdown and the first quarter ended with a score of 7 to 0. The next quarter started as Ynkton’s ball and soon after they started Yankton punted all the way to the 2 yard line. When we went in to score before we even started there was a flag. The flag ended up being a false start on the offense.(which was us) The ball was now Pierre’s and they immediately turned it around. They threw a pass to number 5, Cade Kaiser and he ran it in for a touchdown! Their kicker made the field so the score was now 14 to 0. Pierre’s punt was caught by number 12, Carson Ness. Yankton’s Middle School social studies teacher, Mr. Hueber was doing a great job coaching. This game went back and forth between Yankton and Pierre. There were some calls that fans weren't happy with on either side but in the end this game is one that everybody is going to remember. I mean clearly the fans will remember it, they were everywhere and the dome was packed. This game was truly amazing and it's awesome that the Bucks even got here. The end score was 35 to 7 and sadly we lost. But I don't think that this loss is going to stop any of the bucks. Some will play next year and some will do amazing in college. I think all the Bucks have a bright future and amazing talent.
