Both Sioux Falls Washington basketball teams are ranked No. 1 in the state, and played the No. 2 teams in close games on Monday.
The Warrior boys held South Dakota’s best player and Wisconsin commit Matthew Mors to 20 points seven below his state-high season average in a 55-48 home win over No. 2 Yankton, which fell to 7-2.
Mikele Kambalo led WHS (5-1) with 17 points, nailing a clutch 3-pointer at the shot clock buzzer to give the Warriors a 7-point cushion with 2:40 remaining in the game.
Meanwhile, the Warrior girls lost at No. 2 Harrisburg 68-60, in overtime. Carolyn Harr scored a career-high 25 points and poured in a school record seven 3-pointers, including the go-ahead splash in overtime, as the Tigers moved to 8-0.

One of the most intense and outspoken coaches in South Dakota turned soft and speechless when trying to describe the emotional scene from Friday night in the Brandon Valley High School gymnasium.
Joining the KWSN Coaches Show Saturday morning, Brent Deckert choked up and then paused to gather himself and say, “that’s a tough one” when asked what it meant to him to see, to his surprise, over 70 former BVHS boys basketball assistant coaches and players including “The Bachelorette” star Dale Moss and his fiance Clare Crawley showing up to support him as his third-ranked Lynx beat No. 2 Yankton 62-60 in a comeback thriller.
