BRANDON VALLEY 4, RAPID CITY CENTRAL 2: The Rapid City Central boys soccer team dug itself an early hole against Brandon Valley and was unable to climb out falling 4-2 on Saturday.

The Cobblers found themselves down 3-0 at halftime, and made their comeback attempt having to play a man down for nearly 60 minutes.
