Dell Rapids received the ball to begin the third quarter and scored quickly to take their first lead of the game.  Coby Maeschen scored on a one-yard touchdown run to put the Quarriers in front 14-10.  That score held until the final 2:30 in the game.  Dakota Valley executed a half-back pass to take the lead 16-14 after a blocked extra point.  Dell Rapids was able to put together a drive late in the game and had the ball on the Panther 15-yard line with :30 to go in the game.  Dakota Valley, however, intercepted a pass at the goal-line to seal the victory.

Dell Rapids finished with 206 yards of total offense, 199 yards rushing and seven passing yards.  Dakota Valley had 218 yards of offense, 182 rushing yards and 36 passing yards.  The Quarriers were just 1-7 on third down conversions in the game and 0-1 on fourth down.
