Rocky Football Falls to (RV) Dakota State 38-7

MADISON, S.D.- Turnovers hindered the Battlin' Bears as they dropped a 38-7 road matchup against (RV) Dakota State on Saturday. 

How it Happened
The Battlin' Bear defense had early momentum, as AQ Peternal snagged an interception on Dakota State's opening possession. Rocky's offense was unable to capitalize, however, totaling just 63 yards of offense in the first half. Sa'Mar Turner helped keep the game scoreless early in the second quarter with a highlight reel one-handed interception inside the red zone.

The Trojans would break through the scoreless drought in the first half for both teams, with a trio of long completions to take a 14-0 lead into the half. 

Dakota State would run away in the second half, however, outscoring the Battlin' Bears 24-7 in the second half to take a commanding win over Rocky in South Dakota. Luke Holcomb would connect with Eric Lira from 11 yards out for the lone score for the Battlin' Bears on the day. 

Notable Statistics
Rocky's offense was held to a season-low 161 total offensive yards. The Battlin' Bears turned the ball over a season-high five times. The Battlin' Bear defense forced four turnovers on the day, intercepting the Trojans twice and recovering two fumbles. 

Landen Quesnell totaled a team high nine tackles, with Dylan Deines adding eight. DeAndre Reed tallied two pass breakups and a fumble recovery.
