What a fun and interesting day one at Frost Arena for the state "AA" girls basketball tournament! We had some great individual performers to help their team advance to day two in the tournament. In the first game of the day it was the top seed Washington Warriors taking on RC Central. I don't think anyone but the RC Cobbler team and fans had them advancing to the next round but they pull out the surprise of the tournament by knocking off the #1 seed and the Washington Warriors 52-51. Central got great play from Chelsey Biegler as she had 19 points to help her team advance to the semi-finals tonight against Brandon Valley.
Brandon Valley and Mitchell played the second game of the day. The way the game started out it looked like a track meet broke out at Frost Arena. It was back and forth the whole quarter. As both teams settled in for the rest of the game it was a game Heidi Hoff will remember for a long time, the junior scored 34 points and had 14 rebounds to lead her team into the semi finals tonight vs RC Central.
In the 3rd game of the day it was the O'Gorman Knights taking on the RC Stevens Raiders. OG jumped on them early and played great defense on Margaret McCloud, as she had to work hard for her 11 points and 12 rebounds. OG was lead by Alisa Brown and her 17 points and 13 rebounds. Chandler Nielsen also chipped in 9 points to help lead OG pass Stevens 52-38. They will play Aberdeen Central in the last game on Friday evening.
In the late game it was Aberdeen holding on for a 45-39 win over Yankton to advance in the state tournament. Three players lead the way for the Golden Eagles. They were Kelcy Schaunaman, Brynn Flakus, and Kelsey Hannigan. They will take on the Knights in the the semi-finals starting around 8:45pm. For Yankton, Emily Fedders lead the way with 17 points.
