The Dell Rapids Quarriers defeated the #1 team and only undefeated team at the time in class 11A on Friday, October 5th.  Dell Rapids beat the Dakota Valley Panthers 37-19 at Dakota Valley.  The game was back and forth in the first half, but Dell Rapids put the game away with a strong second half.

The Quarriers came out swinging as they scored on their first offensive play of the game on a touchdown pass from Matt Kolbeck to Cole Langer to take a 6-0 lead.  After each team traded turnovers on interceptions, the Panthers took the lead 7-6 on a touchdown run by quarterback Aaron Likness and a successful extra point.  Dell Rapids answered with a touchdown pass from Kolbeck to Riley

Riley Schmidt diving into the endzone.

Schmidt for a 12-7 lead.  Likness and the Panthers would take the lead back at 13-12 after a quarterback sneak into the endzone and a failed extra point attempt.  After a fourth down conversion, Schmidt found the endzone again, this time on the ground to give the lead back to the Quarriers 18-13.  Dakota Valley again answered with a touchdown pass from Likness to Brody VanGinkle to give the Panthers a 19-18 lead late in the second quarter.  The Quarriers would score one more time before halftime on a fourth and goal touchdown pass from Kolbeck to Schmidt for Schmidt’s third touchdown of the half.  Dell Rapids lead 24-19 at halftime.  The Quarriers would add two more scores in the second half on touchdown runs by Schmidt and Ryan Nichols.  The Dell Rapids defense held the Panther offense scoreless in the second half for the 37-19 win.
