RESULTS – Who Will Win The SD State Championships?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ten days ago on Sept 19th, we asked our basketball fans who they thought would win it all in South Dakota this year. We had 439 votes and 3 winners that will be legit contenders to win the State Championship in their respective class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yeah, we know that it's football season and State is not until March, but this is a way to keep us interested &amp; engaged in hoops. In all reality, October always flies by, and basketball practices will start in November. With that said, let's see who the voters think will win State! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1399487,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/03/SD-1.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/03/SD-1.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-1399487" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"x-large"} --> <p class="has-x-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">AA State Champions</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Mitchell Kernels</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>34 Votes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>27.42% of the Votes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022-23 Record:</strong> 19-5 (Second Place at State)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ranked Players: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1373691' first='Gavin' last='Soukup'], [player_tooltip player_id='1956672' first='Peyton' last='Mandel'], [player_tooltip player_id='1625209' first='Markus' last='Talley'], [player_tooltip player_id='1466940' first='Colton' last='Smith']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"x-large"} --> <p class="has-x-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">A State Champions</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Sioux Valley Cossacks</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>33 Votes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>19.76% of the Votes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022-23 Record:</strong> 23-3 (5th Place at State)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ranked Players: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1266223' first='Alec' last='Squires'], [player_tooltip player_id='1763076' first='Max' last='Engebretson'], [player_tooltip player_id='1496797' first='Jace' last='Christensen'], [player_tooltip player_id='2075251' first='Boden' last='Schiller'], [player_tooltip player_id='1625197' first='Hudsyn' last='Ruesink'], [player_tooltip player_id='1263164' first='Maverick' last='Nelson'], [player_tooltip player_id='1959432' first='Tobin' last='Squires'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"x-large"} --> <p class="has-x-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">B State Champions</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">De Smet Bulldogs</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>82 Votes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>55.41% of the Votes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022-23 Record:</strong> 23-3 (State Champions)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ranked Players: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1725470' first='George' last='Jensen'], [player_tooltip player_id='1625203' first='Kadyn' last='Fast'], [player_tooltip player_id='1764168' first='Tom' last='Aughenbaugh'], [player_tooltip player_id='1552592' first='Trace' last='Van Regenmorter'], [player_tooltip player_id='1966052' first='Britt' last='Carlson']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1272514,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/08/PHD.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/08/PHD.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-1272514" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
