PHD Playoff Central: The Best of Class AA

<p>Surprises were minimal in the Sweet Sixteen level qualifiers but quality performances weren’t.  Saturday’s Best?  Here are the names to know. </p> <p><strong><u>PHD Playoff Central</u></strong>.  The State Tournament.  The games are SF Washington vs Aberdeen Central and SF O’Gorman vs Harrisburg on the top half, and Yankton vs Mitchell as well as SF Roosevelt vs Brandon Valley on the bottom half.  What team is looking at these seeds and thinking.... unfair! One would maybe say Yankton but they have beaten Mitchell before plus Brandon Valley and Harrisburg beat them earlier in the year.  So when you really look around at the pairings I would say most of these teams are fine with what’s in front of them.  </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><u>All Class AA Weekend Team</u></strong>.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="732175" first="Matthew" last="Mors"]</strong> of Yankton.   Mors went at Douglas for 35 points on 15 of 21 shooting.   Throw in 5 of 6 foul shooting with ten boards and it was a dominating double-double of 35/10 and an early seat after beating Douglas.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1130555" first="Akok" last="Aguer"]</strong> of SF Washington.  A guy we’ve been high on for a long time scored 27 points versus Brookings shooting 11 of 19 from the floor.

The 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Rapid City Central.  Swallow’s season may be over but he went out fighting.  Swallow had had 24 points and 15 rebounds in the loss to Aberdeen Central.  He had a double-double by halftime.  This is a young man that had buzzer beaters, 30 plus point games, double-doubles, and so much more.  Congrats Micah, hell of a season.  Good luck to where you go next, some college will be quite lucky.  </p>
