The two teams exchanged the ball through the first half, until Brookings’ Jay Harris intercepted the ball and returned it for a touchdown. The point after attempt was no good.

Brookings took that 6-0 lead into halftime.

Pierre found more success moving the ball in the second half.

They drove into Brookings territory a couple times, including once in the third quarter where drove deep into the Bobcats portion of the field.
