Sioux Falls Takes Two Over Oahe PeeWee A

It was a tough day for the Oahe PeeWee A squad as they dropped two games to Sioux Falls by scores of 7-4 and 10-1.

After losing the early game by only 3, the home team Capitals sought to even the score later in the day.  Unfortunately, they were unable to mount any serious threat to the visitors in the second game, falling 10-1 as tired legs began to show themselves as the game wore on.  Andrew Gordon picked up the only goal of the game for Oahe in the second period.
