Congrats to the Knights, Kernels, Patriots and Cobblers as they punched their ticket to the state tournament in Sioux Falls on March 17-19th. In district one it was the Knights holding on for the 58-46 win over the Arrows from Watertown for the right to defend their title next week. It was the Bobcats putting an end to the Riders season 64-57.
In district two in what I thought was the best game of the night was the Lincoln Patriots and the Brandon Valley Lynxs. The Lynxs coming off their best game of the year by knocking off the Washington Warriors on Monday looked to do it again. They almost did, coming up a point short 49-48 to the Patriots. Lincoln will head to the state tournament next week. In the 3rd place game it was the Washington Warriors ending the Yankton Bucks season 55-37. Washington will head to Watertown on Monday for a right to get to the state tournament on March 17-19th.
In district three it was the Mitchell Kernels hanging on for a 53-48 win over the Pierre Govs. It was a close game throughout and Mitchell made some free throws at the end to seal the win. In the 3rd place game it was the Huron Tigers ending Aberdeen Central Eagles season 66-50. Pierre will host the RC Stevens Raiders on Monday and Huron will host Sturgis for the right to go to state.
In district four it was RC Central beating Sturgis 59-49 and Stevens ends Spearfish season 65-38 after getting off to a 20-2 lead after one. Sturgis travels to Huron and Stevens will travel to Pierre for the right to go to state.
We have four teams in the state tournament. The rest to be determined on Monday night. Can OG repeat or does Mitchell find some magic at the state tournament? How about Lincoln, can they cut down the nets and end a possible back to back state championship run. Stay tuned to ESPN 99.1 as we will have complete coverage of the state tournament with Brad Peterson. Please send me feedback on how I can make this blog even better. Your comments welcome! Good luck all the teams at state.
