South Dakota: 9B All-State Championship Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>VERMILLION, SD--</strong> We look back to Thursday afternoon at the South Dakota 9B State Championship between Hitchcock-Tulare (12-0) and Herreid-Selby (11-1), and give you our player picks for our South <strong>Dakota 9B All-State Championship Team</strong> aka the Super Team from both rosters of Patriots and Wolverines.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Process to our South Dakota: 9B All-State Championship Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How did we put this team together? We took several pages of notes on Thursday afternoon and utilized the stats portion as well (although as usual, we don't just evaluate off stats at Prep Redzone Dakotas alone-the skillsets we saw on the field matter most in our eyes) Unlike how it is done at the state championship games, we do not just give the team that won all the love as for a lot of these seniors, this might be the last time they get recognition at the high school level which is why it so important to read the eyes of how BOTH teams players looked throughout the 9B state final. Between the 9B state champion Hitchcock-Tulare Patriots and the 9B runner-ups from the Herreid-Selby Wolverines, we identified 16 players (some on both sides of the ball) to make our South Dakota 9B All-Tournament Team showing off the best of the best players from both rosters from North Central South Dakota. I also looked at it from the perspective of, if I could build a <strong>Super Team</strong> from both of these rosters, who would I build it around on both sides of the ball? <strong>These rosters are loaded with next-level talents in my eyes, especially small-school talent</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"22px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:22px"><strong>Quarterbacks:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong><em>1st Team</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Carter Binger, Hitchcock-Tulare (2023)</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13346842/634af9283deb2e12c40f6ba6" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13346842/634af9283deb2e12c40f6ba6">Tape</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stat Line: </strong>12/15, 351 total yards (238 pass, 123 rush) 5 total touchdowns (4 pass, 1 rush)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong><em>2nd Team</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='56550' first='Tray' last='Hettick'], Herreid-Selby (2023)</strong> <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/11443478/63726a338cde0f0d84bab684" data-type="URL" data-id="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/11443478/63726a338cde0f0d84bab684">Tape</a> &amp;
