It didn't take long for the first upset in the South Dakota high school football playoffs. Tuesday night, Sisseton knocked-off top-ranked West Central 48-47. Sisseton quarterback Ryan Toelle passed for a Class 11A playoff record 595 yards in the win, including three touchdowns.

West Central, which finished the regular season unbeaten, entered the post-season having won 10 of the last 13 state championships.

Speaking of records, The Argus Leader reports that Brandon Valley's Austin Sumner set a new state record for touchdown passes in a career. Sumner threw four in Tuesday night's 34-13 Class 11AA win over Mitchell. Sumner now has 83 career touchdown passes to surpass the former record of 79 held by Nathan Jacob of St. Thomas More.
