Mike Henriksen & Craig Mattick tell stories about state basketball tournaments past (re-release)

The thrills and spills of South Dakota's own March Madness aren't limited to what happens on the court, as long-time SDPB-TV sportscasters (and former Sioux Falls radio partners) Mike Henriksen and Craig Mattick can attest. They called high school state tournament basketball and football together for over 20 years, narrating some of the most memorable moments in the lives of thousands of young athletes and their families. Their own memories of wild and bizarre moments that happened off the court, either during a broadcast or somewhere else, are vivid and wildly entertaining, and they have plenty to share in the hour-plus chat: "The truck blew up!" "Tom Daschle hit the wall of stench that stood between us" "There was an ashtray the size of a Buick hubcap, and it was full by the end of the night" "We are NOT TOAST!" Find out the stories behind these lines, plus what Craig and Mike think of the state's rule not allowing students and fans to storm the court, a topic that became a massive controversy at the Class A girls tournament last weekend. The two also discuss South Dakota's unique way of presenting six different state tournaments in 4-6 different venues each year.
