Who's back on top this week?

We have one week to go in the girls AA regular season before districts start next Monday night February 25th, 2013. The Mitchell Kernels come into the week as the hottest team winning their 12th in a row on Saturday, Feb 16th. Kerri Young had 25 points and Macy Miller had 23 for the SDSU recruits but it was also Kristen Sabers 17 points that helped them to the victory 80-52 over the Huron Tigers.

Aberdeen Central bounced back in a big way this week after their loss to Mitchell by beating SF Roosevelt 62-54 on the road and beating BV at home behind 21 pts and 9 rebounds from Sami Knecht 66-37.

SF Washington was coming off a sweep of the Rapid City schools and looking forward to playing city rivals SF Roosevelt on Friday. The Riders jump out to an 8 point lead after the 1st quarter and hung on to win 70-63. Lauren Kunz had 17pts for the Riders. The Riders travel to SF Lincoln on Tuesday before closing out the regular season at home on Thursday hosting Marshall, Mn. The Warriors also travel to cross town rival SF O'Gorman to end the regular season.
