The Lower Brule football team started their season with two losses. Since Sept. 3, the Sioux are 4-0, averaging 51 points per game over that stretch. Todd County is coming off a 26-24 loss at Red Cloud and the Falcons will be looking to steady that ship before the playoffs. That game has been moved to Saturday because of a referee shortage. 

Monster week for Little Wound's Trevin Vasquez

When Little Wound takes the field Saturday for its game with Pine Ridge, the Mustangs will be playing their third game in eight days because of rescheduling. The Mustangs played Standing Rock on Oct. 8, played Marty on Oct. 12 and host Pine Ridge on Saturday, Oct. 16.  Senior quarterback Trevin Vasquez has already put up big numbers for the week.

• 277 yards rushing vs. Standing Rock

• 177 yards rushing vs. Marty

• Two games – nine rushing touchdowns, 3 passing touchdowns

• Season rushing 964 yards, 13 touchdown

Little Wound's Trevin Vasquez had 454 yards rushing and nine touchdowns in two games this week.
