Prep Hoops with Nate Kaeding (Midwest Sports Plus TV analyst & Sanford Sports Academy coordinator)

The former Div. I assistant coach and USF associate head coach — now the Sanford Sports Academy basketball coordinator in Sioux Falls — has been on the call for dozens of local games this season, including Tuesday's showdown between the top two teams in boys Class AA, No. 1 Lincoln and No. 2 Roosevelt.   The Patriots controlled most of the game and won 59-47, making them still the undisputed top team in the state and championship favorite. But did Tuesday prove they are a slam dunk to hoist the hardware in Rapid City?    What other Class AA boys teams can make things interesting in March? Is Class AA girls an absolute two-horse between No. 1 Brandon Valley and No. 2 O'Gorman? Same question for Boys Class A, with No. 1 West Central and No. 2 Sioux Falls Christian appearing to be on a state final collision course?   By the way, Midwest Sports Plus will carry the Lincoln boys game at Jefferson on Friday, along with the Spearfish-Brandon Valley doubleheader, plus Saturday's Spearfish-Harrisburg doubleheader.   Next week, all doubleheaders: Brandon Valley at Mitchell (Tuesday), Mitchell at O'Gorman (Thursday), and Huron at Brandon Valley (Friday). The Happy Hour host will be on the call for the latter two twin bills.   It's not too late to jump in on the prep hoops fun and get all the games with the Midwest Sports Plus app. Find out how at midwestsportsplus.com.
