SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The High School football playoffs begin on Thursday.

One of the most highly anticipated matchups in 9AA is Viborg-Hurley against Hanson.

The Cougars closed the regular season strong winning their last four games.

Rob Kessler said, “These kids have proven over the stretch of the season to be a tough group. Mentally tough, hard-hitting, bend don’t break. We’ve had a couple of mishaps throughout the season but overall we’ve had a pretty good season and as we’ve gone down the stretch I feel like we’ve gotten better and better so I’m excited about our prospects going into the playoffs.”

This isn’t the first time Hanson and Viborg-Hurley square off this year.

The Cougars hosted the team just 10 days ago and won 28-6.
