What a great day two at the state tournament in Brookings! In our first game it was the Washington Warriors trying to bounce back after their tough loss the night before. They got a great bounce back effort from future Jackrabbit Rachel Walters as she guided her team to the 53-42 victory over Mitchell. They will take on RC Stevens in the 5th place game starting close to 2pm.
Stevens beat Yankton 54-52 to earn their a date with the Washington Warriors. Stevens was lead by Margaret McCloud with 21 points. Her teammates Shelby Shorb and Katie Klapprodt also played well and scored 12 and 11 points.
In our first semi-finals game of the night it was the Brandon Valley Lynxs behind the strong play again from Heidi Hoff leading her team in the second half to an impressive victory over the RC Central Cobblers 57-40. The Lynxs are back in the championship game (where they were in 2009) going for the schools first title. A person that will get over looked in the box score is Andrea Hanson. She played great helping her team get to the title game tonight vs the Knights of O'Gorman.
The night cap of semi-finals night was just as good. Aberdeen got off to a great start and built an 11 point lead in the 3rd quarter but the great play of Alisa Brown and Meg Townsend lead the OGorman comeback and Chandler Nielsen hit a huge basketball to give the momentum back to the Knights and they hang on in an exciting finish to set up the game with the Brandon Valley Lynxs.
ESPN 99.1 will have coverage of the 5th place game with Washington and RC Stevens starting close to 2pm and then we will have the championship game with Brandon and O'Gorman starting close to 8pm. Can the Lynxs get their first school title or can the Knights win #2, their 1st since 1995?
Stay tune to the answer and listen to complete coverage of the "AA" girls state tournament on ESPN 99.1
