The Yellowjackets advance to the Championship Game!









Last Sunday, we spent the afternoon at the Young Center at BHSU with Kelly and Lacey and her kids to watch the girls and guys play in their first Dakota Athletic Conference playoff game of the year - they were both ranked very high and were expected to do well. And they both did awesome! They were both playing Dakota State. The girls were up first and while the game was close the first half and they were tied up or within a few points of each other the whole half, the 2nd half belonged to BHSU and they won by a good 20 points. The guys game wasn't as close and they cruised to a victory of 100-83.

On Wednesday night, the guys played their rivals the Hardrockers from the School of Mines in Rapid City in the next round of the playoffs. The first half was tough for them and they were down by 2 going into the locker room at the half. But scoring 59 points in the 2nd half helped them win the game by 10. The girls also played on Wednesday against Jamestown College and also went into the locker room at the half down by 4. But after forcing 24 turnovers in the game, they cruised to a 55-48 victory also advancing to the Championship game today! Go Jackets!!!!!
