The Pierre Governor tennis team would travel to Milbank for a weekend tournament featuring all Class A teams in a tournament style as two of the nine flights would get a third place finish.
In what can be considered a preseason type tournament, Pierre was able to find out where they stack up with the rest of Class A at the beginning of the year with still over a month remaining before the state tournament. Amara Dell in flight four and Adrian Hand in flight five would get third place in their respective flights while Gemma Stangeland in flight six would get a fourth place finish along with the doubles team of Eliza Mayer and Elise Bowers in flight two.
Teams would play preliminary matches to make the bracket of eight teams for doubles and then a bracket of four for singles competition. While the remaining flights would be in consolation matches, Pierre went 8-2 combined in the consolation matches.
Pierre will have another long weekend as they travel to Rapid City starting on Thursday for the Rapid Invite which will go into the Labor Day weekend. You can see the results of bracket play below.
