MITCHELL — SoDak 16 girls basketball took place under the roof of the Corn Palace on Thursday evening.

The Class A Tea Area Titans fall to the Wagner Red Raiders 72-52.

The Red Raiders took a six-point lead to the fourth quarter but opened up the final frame on a 14-2 run as they took down the Titans on Thursday, claiming a spot in the Class A state tournament.

The Class B Corsica-Stickney Jaguars and the Ethan Rustlers battled back and forth, with the Rustlers claiming the victory with a 34-31 win.

“Everything we got, it was hard earned. And I think everything they got was hard earned,” Ethan coach Tom Young said. “It just came down to one play, and fortunately for us, we get to go on.”
