Now that the girls have half the teams set for the state tournament in Brookings, its time to get four team in for the boys state tournament on March 17-19th at the arena in Sioux Falls. Can the Knights repeat or does Mitchell have what it takes to knock them off? How about Lincoln, can they surprise everyone and make a title run? It starts tonight to see who can earn a trip to state.
In District one its the Knights taking on Watertown. The knights are playing well so I don't see Watertown coming to Sioux Falls to pull the upset. In the 3rd place game its the Riders playing host to Brookings. It should be a close game but I see the Riders pulling it out in the end.
In District two its not the Washington Warriors who everybody had in the championship game. Its the Brandon Valley Lynxs playing the Lincoln Patriots for the Championship and a right to go to state at the Patriots gym. The game can be heard on ESPN 99.1 with Brad Peterson starting at 7:20pm. I see the Pates beating the Lynxs to earn a trip to state. In the 3rd place game its the Washington Warriors and the Yankton Bucks. I see Washington coming out on top and playing in a region game next week.
In District three its the Mitchell Kernels hosting Pierre and Huron hosting Aberdeen Central. I see Mitchell earning a trip to state and Huron beating Aberdeen Central for a right to play next week.
Out west in district 4 its Central hosting Sturgis and RC Stevens hosting Spearfish. I see Central getting to state as there girls did last night and Stevens beating Spearfish to play on Tuesday night for the right to go to state. Those are my picks tonight. What are yours? Listen to ESPN 99.1 for complete coverage of Lincoln and Brandon Valley for the right to go to state and all other scores from around the state.
