The second-seeded Arrows wrapped up a championship season Friday night with a 14-13 victory over fourth-seeded Pierre, capped by a game-winning stop on a two-point conversion run with 58 seconds left and the recovery of the ensuing onside kick attempt.

Watertown (10-2) dominanted the first half in the DakotaDome but led only 7-0 and had to withstand a series of comebacks by the Governors (7-5) to join the Arrows’ 1996 and 2001 teams as state Class 11AA champions.

“We knew we had the chance to be up 17-0 at halftime and when you’re playng a team like Pierre with the tradition that they have if you’re only up 7-0 you know you’re in for a battle,” Watertown coach John Hodorff said.
