by

GarretsonHSLogoWith a win over Dakota Valley on Saturday, August 25th, the Garretson/Dell Rapids Blue Dragon girls soccer team set a school record for most wins in a season.

The Blue Dragons started their week last week with a match against Sioux Falls Christian on Tuesday, August 21st.  Though the team came out firing on all cylinders in the first half that resulted in them trailing 0-1 at halftime, the energy fell flat in the second half, and the Chargers defeated Garretson/Dell Rapids 4-0.  The JV match ended in a 0-0 tie.

The team was able to move past the disappointing loss to Sioux Falls Christian and put in some hard practices to prepare for the match against Dakota Valley.  The team traveled to North Sioux City to take on the Panthers.  With the high temperatures that day, the girls fought through the heat to earn a 2-1 win over Dakota Valley.  Madison Ljunggren (9th) and Raegan Altman (8th) had well placed shots that gave the team the win.  The Blue Dragons ended the day with a 6-0 JV match win.

The Panthers regained the lead with 7:50 to go in the first half on a 35-yard run by Rice.  The extra point was good, and Dakota Valley went ahead 15-8.  Dell Rapids was forced to punt in their next drive, and again the punt was blocked.  This time Chayce Montagne recovered the punt and ran it into the endzone for a 33-yard touchdown return.  Dakota Valley led 22-8 with 5:21 to play in the second quarter.  The Quarriers responded with a score with 4:28 to go in the half.  Price connected with Logan Ellingson on a 61-yard pass and then again for the two-point conversion to make the score 22-16.  That’s where the first half score ended.

Chesterman scored his third touchdown of the game on a 10-yard run with 10:29 to play in the game.  This came after Chesterman converted a fourth down run earlier in the drive.  The extra point was missed, and Dakota Valley led 35-29.  On the ensuing kick-off, the ball went out of bounds for an illegal procedure penalty.  Dell Rapids elected to have Dakota Valley back up five yards and re-kick.  Unfortunately for the Quarriers, the Panthers recovered a short kick-off to get the ball back.  Dakota Valley scored about four minutes later on an 11-yard pass from Rice to Chesterman.  The extra point was good and all of the sudden the Panthers led 42-24.  Price was able to connect with Ellingson again on a 14-yard touchdown pass, and the two-point conversion run was good by Boever with 4:16 to go to cut the lead to 42-32.  The Panthers scored a late touchdown on a 38-yard run by Rice with :20 to go in the game.
