DWU/Culver’s Classic Final. A quick thought on those results.
- Sioux Falls Christian beat Roncalli by way more than we expected.
- Bridgewater-Emery proved their top spot in a big way.
- Nice win for Chamberlain using their veteran play to get by Langford.
- Dell Rapids with the rebounding win getting St. Thomas More by two.
- Irene-Wakonda and MVP win as expected
- Chester continues to look like they are playing their best hoops of the year.
Monday Noteworthy. Corsica-Stickney and Dell Rapids had to fight out wins over Menno and Canton….Douglas with an eye-opening 16 point win over Red Cloud…Roncalli bounced back from the crushing Saturday to put a crushing on Groton by 27. Nice win for them….Wolsey-Wessington over Highmore-Harrold by three was an important win…
Valentine’s Day, bring a date to a game! The hoops season doesn’t stop for St. Valentine or Cupid’s Arrow so girls, make a nice big season to cheer on your man. Gents, make sure to drop off a card before getting into game mode. Maybe by her an extra piece of pizza at school lunch! Or maybe a cookie? Just a thought.
Fans, coaches, players, and friends of that group of people may have to get to the Aberdeen Christian and Langford Area boys early. They have an 8pm showdown in Aberdeen. Both are coming off losses to good teams. So if you are going to the game, sell your date on the Christian Knights concession stand meal deal. And give her one of those old school Michael Jordan Valentines!
MVP is at Bon Homme in a key Region 5 match-up as MVP, Tri-Valley, and Bon Homme all fight for that all important big game. Any date should understand the importance of this game but if not, tell her you are going to watch the world champion Cavaliers and then correct your story some while you hand her a rose.
Brandon Valley at Brookings. Come on people. This should be the biggest spot for dates in both communities. Go on group dates together and then head to the game. Sit with your date side by side and cheer together. Buy his and hers Bobcats or Lynx shirts. Girls, if your man is playing a sign with their name will work, coupled with a hug after the game. This is all worth it because Brookings and Brandon Valley are two of the best in the state.
Pierre is at Rapid City Stevens so not much people can do date wise on a three hour road trip each way. Although…..some Valentines day treats on the bus? The boys can watch an appropriate romantic comedy on the long trip?
Thursday Game of the Night! The Rapid City rivalry is Thursday, Red Cloud is a Sturgis Brown, and Huron at Central, these are all good games but Vermillion at Madison takes the cake.
Vermillion started the year strong against the state’s best beating Irene-Wakonda, Tea Are, Little Wound, and Elk Point-Jefferson but have since had trouble against the best in the state losing to Sioux Falls Christian twice by a combined 48 points and losing to Dell Rapids by a dozen.
For confidence sake Vermillion needs a good win entering the playoffs but Madison has won five in a row including wins over Dell Rapids and Chamberlain plus the Bulldogs beat Sioux Falls Christian by three. When you consider that Vermillion couldn’t even compete with the Chargers this is a game where they have something to prove.
Friday Night Top Ten.
