James Valley Christian wins state B title
• ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) -- Alex Waldner's 24 points led James Valley Christian to its first state championship with a 67-54 win over Platte-Geddes at the South Dakota Class B boys basketball tournament on Saturday.
• James Valley Christian took the excitement out of it early, outscoring the Black Panthers 19-7 in the first quarter. The Vikings (25-1) extended that lead throughout the first half mostly through its seven 3-pointers.
• Platte-Geddes (19-7), whose last title was in Class A in 2008, made just three of its first 13 shots from the field.
