State Tournament Host Secured
Rapid City Post 22 has been designated as the tournament host, earning a first-round bye and the advantage of opening the double-elimination bracket in the city.
Among the top seeds entering the field are Sioux Falls West, Yankton, Brandon Valley, Brookings and Rapid City Post 320, each poised to contend for the championship.
Championship Legacy and Bracket Dynamics
Harrisburg, the reigning Class A champion, returns to defend its title, while Renner captured the 2024 crown by edging Brookings in a dramatic final.
The tournament format follows a double-elimination structure, with the first round scheduled to begin on July 22 and the state finals set for July 28 in Rapid City.
Winners from the opening series will trigger a re-seeding of the bracket, ensuring that the path to the title remains fluid and unpredictable until the final out.
