Hill City, RC Christian Advance To SD State Volleyball

A pair of Black Hills teams punched their ticket to the South Dakota class A state volleyball tournament following victories in the SoDak 16 qualifier.

Second seeded Hill City cruised past Clark/Willow Lake in three sets, 25-13, 18, and 14. Rapid City Christian, the third seed, took down Redfield 25-8, 15, and 14.

St. Thomas More wasn’t as lucky, making the 409 mile trip to North Sioux City only to lose to Dakota Valley 25-11, 10, and 14.

Severe winter weather forced one of the qualifiers to move to Wednesday which will mean state tournament brackets won’t be set until Thursday morning.

The class A tournament will begin next Thursday, November 19th in Watertown.
