  • Fiddin' Around

    -deg|Mar 20, 2024

    The state's Class B boys basketball tournament certainly lived up to its pre-tourney hype and then some. The tournament concluded with a narrow championship win in overtime by Howard thus preventing DeSmet from obtaining its fourth straight title. They had to settle for second this time around. Under that new SoDak 16 format anybody could win this tournament if they would play the entire event again this week.
