Miller’s Palmer Headlines Class A All-State Team

Palmer, a senior libero for the Rustlers, would have over 500 digs with 535 in total while also having 40 aces and still having 77 assists on the season. The Rustlers just missed a fourth straight trip to the state tournament this year falling to St. Thomas More in the SoDak 16, but Palmer has been a huge contributor to the Rustlers success over the last couple of years helping Coach Linda Deboer’s team being a leader on and off the court.

For other teams, Harrisburg leads the selection in Class AA with three being selected. Josalyn Samuels and Gabi Zachariasen on the first team and Lindsay Langner on the second team. Harrisburg would win the state title once again going undefeated in South Dakota games throughout the year.

For Class A Dakota Valley would get two on the first team All-State with Claire and Madelyn Munch. Dell Rapids Madelynn Henry, Rapid City Christian’s Faith King and Tavyn Sichmeller from Sioux Falls Christian would round of the first team joining Palmer.

In Class B, Chester would get two first team selections with Jacy Wolf and Lily Van Hal making the team. In Region 6B, Jordyn Rossow from Herried/Selby Area and Marley Guthmiller from Ipswich would be on the second team and honorable mention respectively.
