A 32-point third-quarter explosion by the Lady Lynx was more firepower than the Brookings Bobcats could withstand in the AA quarterfinals played March 14 in Rapid City.
The hardware was coming home with them. And the Lady Lynx played like they owned it from the very start of their 60-40 victory over Sioux Falls Lincoln Saturday at Barnett Arena to claim the state AA girls’ basketball crown, the team’s first since 2011.
Brandon Valley and O’Gorman were in a battle from the very start. And the boys AA state championship game went right down to the wire. In the end, the Lynx boys would prevail in the 54-47 outcome to bring home the program’s first state championship in 21 years.
