**Yankton, SD** – The Yankton Bucks football team celebrated their 100th homecoming in style, shutting out the Sturgis Brown Scoopers 35-0 on Friday night at Crane-Youngworth Field.
The Bucks’ offense was led by quarterback Easton Nelson, who had a stellar performance, throwing for 185 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 155 yards and three touchdowns. Carson Ness was Nelson’s favorite target, catching five passes for 82 yards and a touchdown.
The Bucks’ defense was equally impressive, limiting Sturgis to just 59 yards of offense in the first half. Yankton’s defense forced two turnovers in the first half and held Sturgis scoreless throughout the game.
“Our defense did exactly what they needed to do,” said Yankton head coach Brady Muth. “We don’t want to be a bend don’t break defense, but when you’re in a game like that, you just have to hold the rope once in awhile.”
The victory was a dominant performance for Yankton, who will face a tough challenge next Friday when they travel to Brookings to take on the Bobcats.
