During halftime of the Quarrier boys basketball against Vermillion on Thursday, January 25th, a Dell Rapids resident was honored by a group of fellow Dell Rapids residents.  Moe Lickteig was recognized for this thousands of hours of dedication to coaching youth sports, which he continues to do with his grandchildren, in Dell Rapids.  Lickteig received a letter from South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard and a plaque.  Mike Henriksen and Gary Croon presented Lickteig with the honor.

A group of Dell Rapids citizens have decided that it would be a great idea to celebrate the things that make Dell Rapids great, which are the residents of Dell Rapids!  This group is not affiliated with the schools, booster clubs, or chamber, but rather is just a group of residents that will be looking to honor fellow residents for the great things they do for the community!

Lickteig was their first honoree to be recognized.  Lickteig was surprised with the honor at the basketball game.  The group honored Lickteig at the game because they “the gym was the place to find Moe.”

Canistota’s Late Run Leads to Big Win over Cardinal Boys

by

The Canistota Hawks used a big first quarter run to get a lead on the Dell Rapids St Mary Cardinals, but it was their fourth quarter run that put the game out of reach.  The Hawks defeated the Cardinals 74-43 on Friday, January 26th at Canistota High School.

After an early 3-2 lead by St Mary, the Hawks made their first big run of the game to take a 22-10 lead after the first quarter of play.  St Mary kept the game in reach in the middle two quarters of the game.  The Cardinals only saw the Hawks extend their lead by a point to 37-24 at halftime.  Again Canistota only managed to extend their lead by another point to 14 points by the end of third quarter at 52-38.  Canistota, however, went on a 19-0 run before St Mary got the first field goal of the fourth quarter with 3:18 left in the game.  By that point the score was 71-41 and out of reach for St Mary.

Connor Libis finished the night with 21 points and three rebounds.  Connor Kangas had six points.  Weston Geraets added five points, seven rebounds, and five blocked shots.  Luke Brown and Ryan Eining both had four points each, and Drew Wood finished with three points and four rebounds.

Cardinal Girls Win Streak Ends at Three

by

DRSM LogoThe Dell Rapids St Mary Cardinals took a three-game winning streak into a game against the Alcester-Hudson Cubs on Thursday, January 25th at Dell Rapids St Mary High School.  The Cubs used big first and fourth quarters to stop the St Mary streak with a 51-34 win over the Cardinals.

Last Second Shot Falls Short for Quarrier Girls

by

DRvsVerm_GBB_1-25-18After trailing by nine points with 6:00 to go in the game, the Dell Rapids Quarrier girls team trailed by two points and had the ball with :10 to play.  The floater from the middle of the lane at the buzzer hit the back of the rim and fell away no good as the Vermillion Tanagers held on for a 42-40 win over the Quarriers on Thursday, January 25th at Dell Rapids High School.

Dell Rapids trailed Vermillion 6-4 with just over 5:00 to play in the first quarter.  The Quarriers then out scored the Tanagers 9-4 the remainder of the quarter for a 13-8 lead.  Neither offense could get anything going in the second quarter.  The two teams combined for a total of 12 points, which was an 8-4 advantage for Vermillion.  Dell Rapids went to the locker room at halftime leading 17-16.

Vermillion opened the third quarter on an 8-2 run to take a 24-19 lead with 5:17 to play in the quarter.  Vermillion managed to keep a four-to-six point throughout the remainder of the quarter leading 31-25.  The Tanager lead grew to nine points at 36-27 with 6:00 play before Dell Rapids made their run.  Dell Rapids scored the next six points and cut the lead to 36-33 with 3:10 to go in the game.  After a made basket by Vermillion’s Kasey Jensen, Kaylee Hennen made a three-point shot in front of her bench to cut the lead to 38-36 with 2:42 remaining.  Arial Hoffman cut the lead to a point at 38-37 after going one-of-two from the free throw line with 2:06 to play.  Jensen again made a tough basket inside for Vermillion to push the Tanager lead to three points.  Hoffman pulled the Quarriers within two after another one-for-two trip to the free-throw line.  With under :50 to play, Jensen made a reverse layup to give Vermillion a 42-38 lead.  Jayda Knuppe answered with a layup of her own with :27 to go.  Vermillion missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Dell Rapids grabbed the rebound with :16.5 on the clock.  Hennen had the ball stripped on her drive to the lane, and Emma Paul picked up the loose ball and got a shot off from the middle of the lane that hit the back of the rim and fell away no good at the buzzer.

Paul led the team in scoring on the night with 12 points.  Jayda Knuppe finished with eight points.  Hennen added five points.  Aspen Hansen, Ravyn Hoffman, and Sydney Stofferahn all had four points in the game.  A. Hoffman finished with three points.
