35th Hanson Classic. The Hanson Boys Classic is eight games starting at 10am and being played at an interval of every 90 minutes. The feature game of the event is without a doubt Sioux Valley vs St. Thomas More, two of the best teams in Class A. With match-ups of Isaac Kortemeyer and Trevor Hanson inside and Tayton Vincent against Tayton Mahyer at guard this contest should be outstanding.
Top ranked Bridgewater-Emery faces last year’s champion Warner in another excellent game with Corsica-Stickney facing Langford Area in the nightcap. Add in Tea Area vs Aberdeen Roncalli and you several excellent games being played all day.

11:30 a.m.: Parkston vs. White River
1 p.m.: Tri-Valley vs. Winner
2:30 p.m.: Chester Area vs. Wolsey-Wessington

Stevens vs O’Gorman. The games in Mitchell are just Class A and Class B games but there are also some good Class AA games on Saturday. Brookings/Pierre is solid but Stevens against O’Gorman is the headliner. These teams played just two weeks ago and Stevens won but now O’Gorman gets the rematch.
Class A Showdown. Vermillion and Sioux Falls Christian go at it Thursday night at Vermillion. The home team is 10-0 and our number one ranked squad in Class A. Many feel that SF Christian is the best in the state and they will get their chance to show that this Thursday. The Tanagers have the backcourt edge, the Chargers have the size.
Also Thursday. Roncalli takes on 8-1 Groton Area in a key Region 1 battle (Groton lost to Sisseton over the weekend), Dell Rapids is at Madison, Sturgis Brown is at Pierre, and Brandon Valley is at SF Lincoln.
281 Conference Tournament. Another league event is being played and this won (games on Tuesday and Thursday) including James Valley Christian, Sanborn Central/Woonsocket, Wolsey-Wessington, and others.
Tuesday’s Top Ten!
- Vermillion at Elk Point-Jefferson
- Huron at Brandon Valley
- Sioux Valley at Chester Area
- Potter County at Herreid/Selby Area
- Aberdeen Central at Brookings
- Scotland at Irene_Wakonda
- Pierre at RC Stevens
- Miller at Crow Creek

Friday Night Predictions (and Hanson Classic). We will have more on the Hanson Classic and Friday games later in the week but we need to point out the Sioux Falls Christian versus Madison game on Sioux Falls on Friday night.
