The 34th Annual 3-Class Shootout basketball All-Star game will be held on Saturday, March 26th at the McCook Central Auditorium in Salem. All three classes in both boys and girls will be represented by many of the top seniors in South Dakota including several local kids. In the Class B Boys, both Grant Luikens and Cooper Logan from Potter County will be participating on this year’s team who will be featured in the final game of the day and will play the winner of Class AA and Class A. The other area participant is Matthew Hanson out of Pierre. He will be a part of the Class AA team which features just five ESD members. Head Coach of the Pierre Governors Brianna Kusler this is a deserving honor for Hanson…
Kusler says it’s not easy to be selected for the shootout…
Kusler says coaches don’t submit any players or have any say in the process of picking players for the shootout, it’s all done outside of her control.
