Winner’s Brendan Harter has been named to the Class A boys basketball all-state first team.
The all-state teams are chosen by the South Dakota Basketball Coaches Association and South Dakota Sportswriters Association.
The 6-3 Harter was key in Winner’s third place finish at state. The skilled power forward registered 18.3 points and 9.4 rebounds per game for the 23-2 Warriors.
He also racked up 69 assists, 68 steals and shot 61 percent from the field.
“We are excited about the fact that Brendan is getting recognition for his accomplishments on the playing floor this year,” said Winner boys basketball coach Brett Gardner.
“Being first team all-state is a big deal and we are proud of him. We are 100 percent sure that he will be the first to admit that none of his accomplishments nor awards would have come without the help of his teammates.
“Brendan worked hard to become a better player this off season and it paid off. We are excited that our team achievements have lead to some individual accolades with Brendan getting all-state and Class A all-tournament team along with Nathan Galbraith,” said Gardner.
The two year starter finished his career with 756 points, 445 rebounds and 142 steals. Harter also hit a game winning shot against Cheyenne-Eagle Butte in overtime in the Region 6A championship game.
