The Class B Boys State Basketball Tournaments started out on Thursday morning with a bang, as top-seeded Viborg-Hurley fell to 8-seed Lyman.

In the game that tipped off at 11:00 CT, the Cougars led by 2 after the first and at half, but fell behind in the 3rd quarter when the Lyman Raiders outscored them 17-10.

The rest of the way, the Raiders hung on to what amounted to be a colossal upset in Aberdeen to start the tournament.
