The South Dakota Boys State Basketball Tournaments concluded on Saturday with a trio of championship games.

Class AA and A were both hosted out in Rapid City this year, and it ended up being a year in which no #1 seeds took home titles.

In AA, the #3 seed Huron Tigers found a way against previously unbeaten and #1 Sioux Falls Lincoln to win the title.
