PIERRE – The Pierre Governor girls basketball team earned a return trip to the State AA Basketball Tournament with a SoDak 16 win at home over Huron Friday (March 1, 2024) at the Riggs High Gym.
The Governors held a 27-20 halftime lead, but outscored the Tigers 36-16 in the second half to win 63-36.
