Sioux Falls O’Gorman, Christian South Dakota GBB State Champs!
A pair of Sioux Falls-based schools cut down the nets as State Champions on Saturday, as the South Dakota High School Girls Basketball season came to a close.
First, O'Gorman was the Champion in Class AA this season, prevailing over Brandon Valley in a nailbiter 47-46.
The Knights cemented another special season with a big comeback:
O'Gorman finished the season with a mark of 24-0!
In Class A, we had a finish that will be remembered for a long time.
In another back-and-forth affair, the Sioux Falls Christian Charger Girls used a last second (literally) bucket to put the finishing touches on Maypiya Luta.
Here's a look at the final moments in Spearfish:
Sioux Falls Christian is your State Champion in Class A with a final mark of 24-1!
In Class B, Bennett County defied the odds and cut down the nets with a final mark of 24-2 with a 71-61 win over Sanborn Central/Woonsocket. Bennett County never trailed in the game.
Congratulations to all of our programs across the State on a great season, and to Sioux Falls O'Gorman, Sioux Falls Christian, and Bennett County on a Championship season!
