- 4 matches for Hutmacher in the state tournament: 1:59 total time. He won a state title without wrestling an entire period combined. #MindBlownNash Hutmacher (@Nashnation72) won his third straight state title. #sdpreps
00:00 - Just got this from the Gatorade Player of the Year people: @YhsBucks @matthew_mors was the first sophomore EVER to get Gatorade Boys' Basketball Player of the Year for South Dakota.
- Praying for Sully Buttes coach Mark Senftner, who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. If you're wondering what kind of person he is, 4 years ago he intentionally took a technical foul so that an injured Cheylee Nagel could score for Avon in the state tournament.
- Had some self-created camera issues tonight, but not before I got these shots of @GoJacksMBB William Kyle III.
- Just a reminder: If you play high school sports, there are kids looking up to you. (Yes, in this gym they look down, but they are "looking up to you.")
- A moment that requires more than 280 characters worth of reaction. Still can't wrap my head around being honored by the school where my career began.
- Mount Marty senior Mikayla Prouty announced as a starter for the second half and immediately taken out, allowing her to step on the court one last time. The @LancerWBB standout suffered a season-ending injury earlier this season.
- Chamberlain fans rise to their feet as they sense the end of the Polar Bear era. Nash Hutmacher needed 1:29 to pin Brookings' Gus Miller for his 73rd straight pin and 4th straight state title.
- Went back through my Summit League women's final photos and had to add this one to our gallery. Too fun not to.
