The top two teams on both sides qualify for the state meet, meaning the Ethan and Gergory boys and the Burke and Mount Vernon/Plankinton girls advance to the Class B state tournament, while the top 17 individual scores also qualify for the state meet. Both meets will take place on June 6-7, with the boys tournament at Elks Golf Course and the girls tournament at Hart Ranch Golf Course, both in Rapid CIty.
