The Dell Rapids St Mary Cardinal 5th-grade boys basketball team hosted a tournament on Saturday, March 15th. Six teams participated in the tournament including Dell Rapids St Mary, Dell Rapids, Sioux Falls Christian, West Central, Harrisburg and Howard. The six teams were broken into two pools of three teams each. After six “pool-play” games, two players from each team participated in a “hot shot” contest, and then the final three games were played to determine placings. All nine of the games and the “hot-shot” contest were streamed live on Big Sioux Media, and all the games are available to watch as an archived video under the webcasts page.
