PIERRE – The 85th Annual SDHSAA Boys State Golf Championship Tournaments will begin on
Monday for the state’s Class ‘A’ and ‘AA’ competitors. This year’s competitions will be played
as two-day, thirty-six hole events, with Class ‘A’ at Southern Hills Golf Course in Hot Springs
and Class ‘AA’ at Cattail Crossing Golf Course in Watertown.

This year’s Class ‘A’ field is headlined by defending team champion Dell Rapids who also
captured Team Championship honors in 2011. The Quarriers are led by the top returning
individual from the 2013 field, senior Adam Karst (2nd place). The Parkston Trojans also
headline the Class ‘A’ field, having finished just one shot behind Dell Rapids in 2013 and feature
golfers with three of the top sixteen qualifying scores for this year’s event.
On the Class ‘AA’ side, Sioux Falls O’Gorman will look to take their second straight team ‘AA’
crown, which would make it four of the last five titles for the Knights. Each of the Knights’ six
golfers come into the event ranking in the top 36 scoring averages statewide. Sioux Falls
Lincoln’s Tommy Vining will look to capture his third consecutive individual title, which would
be the first three-peat since Reuben Narlin of Sioux Falls won four straight titles in the 1930s.
Expanded this year for each the ‘AA’ and ‘A’ Championship Events will be an online livescoring
feature accessible to the public via the South Dakota Public Broadcasting page. Hole-byhole,
team, and individual scores will be updated throughout competition during Monday and
Tuesday’s play.
