Canistota Ends Cardinal Win Streak at DWU Classic

by

The Dell Rapids St Mary Cardinals had their nine-game winning streak come to an end at the DWU Classic in Mitchell on Saturday, February 13th.  The Canistota Hawks used a late run to hand the Cardinals a 61-56 loss.

St Mary went on a big 14-3 run early in the game.  With the game tied 10-10 at the 3:10 mark of the first quarter, the Cardinals went on a 14-3 and ended the first quarter leading 24-13.  The Hawks responded with a 10-0 run to start the second quarter to cut the lead to 24-23.  St Mary was able to keep the lead through the quarter and 36-32 at halftime.

Canistota held St Mary to just seven points in the third quarter while scoring 15 for a 47-43 lead heading into the final quarter of the game.  The Cardinals regained the lead at 48-47 with 6:13 to go.  The two teams were tied 52-52 with 2:50 to play, and the Hawks finished the game on a 9-4 run knocking down big free-throws for the win.

St Mary was just 33% (19-57) from the field, 38% (8-21) from three-point area and 63% (10-16) from the free-throw line.  Canistota’s advantage came from the free-throw line where they were 22-for-26.  The Hawks shot 38% (17-45) from the field and 23% (5-22) from three-point area.

Connor Libis had 27 points and six rebounds.  Sam Palmer finished with 13 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals.  Max Herber had seven points and 10 rebounds.  Ashaun Roach-Valandra had just two points, but seven rebounds and five assists.

Quarrier Boys Fall to Cavaliers at DWU Classic

by

Playing in their second game in less than 24 hours, the Dell Rapids Quarriers couldn’t solve the change of pace by the St Thomas More Cavaliers at the DWU Classic on Saturday, February 13th.  The Cavaliers held Dell Rapids to their lowest point total of the season in a 63-53 victory.

The plan by the Cavaliers was obvious from their opening possession of the game.  St Thomas More was going to slow the Quarriers down by holding the ball for almost the entire shot clock.  The slow pace seemed to frustrate the Quarriers and kept them out of their comfort zone all game long.

The Cavaliers held a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter, 12-11.  They pushed the lead eight points by halftime at 30-22.  The Cavaliers continued to grow the lead in the third quarter and led 45-30 heading into the final quarter.  Dell Rapids was finally able to get more into their offensive pace in the fourth quarter and scored nearly half of their points in the final period.  The Quarriers cut the lead down to seven points, 48-41, with 3:34 to play, but the Cavaliers stopped the Quarrier rally.

Dell Rapids shot 50% (21-42) from the field, 39% (7-18) from three-point area, but only shot 4-of-8 from the free-throw line.  The difference in the game came down to the free-throws.  St Thomas More finished the game 14-for-18 from the line, while shooting 45% (21-47) from the field and 37% (7-19) from three-point area.

Brayden Pankonen finished with 12 points, two rebounds, two steals, and two assists.  Connor Rentz had 11 points.  Colin Rentz had 10 points, six assists, and three rebounds.  Coby Maeschen added eight points and eight rebounds, and Avery Boechler had seven points and four assists.

Dell Rapids (11-6) will travel to Sisseton on Tuesday, February 16th.  The game can be seen on Big Sioux Media.

Colin Rentz finished with a rare triple-double, but the Dell Rapids Quarriers fell to the Dakota Valley Panthers at home on Friday, February 12th.  Dell Rapids held Dakota Valley to 32 first-half points, but the Panthers missed just three shots in the third quarter and scored 55 points in the second half as they defeated Dell Rapids 87-72.

The Quarriers started the game on a 6-0 run, but the Panthers ended the first quarter with a 17-15 lead.  Dell Rapids got on a roll in the second quarter and went on a 16-7 run for a 31-24 lead with 3:30 to play in the first half.  The Panthers pulled within four at 36-32 at halftime.

Dakota Valley was 6-for-6 from three-point area and 12-for-15 from the field in the third quarter in a 30-point effort to take a 62-54 lead into the fourth quarter.  They extended the lead to 66-54 with 6:35 to play.  The Quarriers cut the lead in half in the next minute to 66-60, but that was as close Dell Rapids would get.

Dell Rapids shot 45% (26-58) from the field, 25% (6-24) from three-point area, and 78% (14-18) from the free-throw line.

Colin Rentz had 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists to lead the Quarriers.  Carter Nelson had 16 points and six rebounds.  Connor Rentz finished with 15 points.  Coby Maeschen had nine points, two rebounds, and two blocks, while Brayden Pankonen had eight points.

The Dell Rapids Quarriers just couldn’t keep pace with Dakota Valley as the Panthers took a 78-33 win on Friday, February 12th at Dell Rapids High School.

The Quarriers got behind early in the game as the Panthers outscored Dell Rapids at every quarter.  Dakota Valley led 19-8 after the first quarter and then pushed the lead to 20 points at 39-19 by halftime.  The Panthers really put the game out of reach in the third quarter when they outscored Dell Rapids 26-7 for a 65-26 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Dell Rapids finished the game shooting 32% (14-44) from the field, 33% (3-9) from three-point area, and 2-4 from the free-throw line.  Dakota Valley was 45% (31-69) from the field, 33% (9-27) from three-point area, and 64% (7-11) from the free-throw line.

by

Photo taken and used with permission by Tammy Chamley

This night belonged to Ashaun Roach-Valandra.  Prior to tip-off against the Howard Tigers, Roach-Valandra was recognized as this year’s Sacred Hoops Kernit Grimshaw Athlete of Character award winner.  In front of a packed gym and family sitting front row, Roach-Valandra had night folks won’t soon forget.

The match-up between the St Mary Cardinals and Howard Tigers on Thursday, February 11th had plenty of hype.  Both teams are atop Region 4B and are two of the top teams in Class B boys basketball.  The game lived up to the hype.

The two teams ended the first quarter tied 12-12.  Howard gained a slight advantage in the second quarter and led 31-25 by halftime.  Both Roach-Valandra and Sam Aslesen of Howard were in double figures at that point in the game.

St Mary opened the second half on an 11-2 run for a 36-33 lead with 4:40 to play in the third quarter.  Howard responded with a quick 4-0 run to go back in front 37-36.  Then St Mary turned the game in their favor.  The Cardinals went on an 8-0 run for a 44-37 lead.  The lead grew to 50-41 by the end of the third quarter.  Howard tried to rally throughout the fourth quarter, but every time the Tigers got within three or four points, the Cardinals had an answer and eventually hung on for a 66-61 victory.

The Cardinals finished the game shooting 45% (25-56) from the field, 39% (7-18) from three-point area, and 50% (9-18) from the free-throw line, but the night was Roach-Valandra’s.

Wava Osborn

by

Wava I. Osborn passed away peacefully on February 9, 2021, after 99 ½ years of robust living and bringing joy to family and friends. Wava was born in Aberdeen SD on June 21, 1921 to Lester and Helen (Bloom) Wiles. Her early years were spent on a farm by Frankfort, SD.  She attended rural school near Ashton and helped on the farm. Many a story was told of getting caught swimming in the James River, picking eggs, and canning and cooking with her mom. She loved dancing and riding her brother’s rebuilt Indian motorcycle.

Wava married James B. Osborn on September 18, 1941 . They raised their 6 children in a variety of places, starting in Redfield SD. In 1953 they moved to Lead SD, but returned to Redfield where she remained until retirement. Wava spent the majority of her time raising her family which brought her great joy. Additionally, she worked at Redfield State Hospital and School where she cared for the health and well being of those who were developmentally disabled. She was a dedicated employee who truly cared for those in her care.

She was a great cook -“from scratch”.  She loved gardening whether it was her vegetable garden or flower garden. She was an incredible seamstress as well as creating heirloom embroidery pieces. Her ‘home remedies’ were many and surprisingly, they worked! Many pets graced Wava’s life and she loved them all. However, of all the things that enriched her life, it was her family that she cherished the most.

Wava’s last few years were spent at Spearfish Canyon Healthcare where she made new friends, enjoyed bingo and root beer float Fridays. It was here she took up coloring felted pictures and gifted many to family and friends. A special thank you to all at the healthcarecenter for their excellent care.

Wava is preceeded in death by James B. Osborn(husband), Tom Osborn (son), James A. Osborn (grandson), Dustin Norton (grandson), Asher Ludwar(great grandson).

Left to carry on Wava’s spirit are Sally Osborn (wife of Tom), Lester (Donna) Osborn, David (Jan) Osborn, Michael (Mea) Osborn, Beth (Doug) Norton, Rex (Linda Abeldt) Osborn, numerous grand, great, and great great grandchildren, special friend, Lori, as well as extended family and friends who knew and loved her.

A private family service will be held at the HykeFuneral Home in Redfield SD on Friday, February 12 at  2:00 pm. A public celebration of her life will be held this summer.  Funeral arrangements are under the care of Kahler-Brende Funeral Home. www.kahlerfh.com

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Happy Pig Haven, a pot belly pig sanctuary, at 25188 468th Ave, Baltic, SD, 57003.
