If you are planning to travel to the Class A Boys' State Basketball Tournament in Rapid City, here are a few things to think about as to plan:
1. Have you purchased your tickets online prior to arriving at the event? They will have approximately 14 ticket windows open around the facility on Thursday; however, they anticipate significant lines. Advance online purchases should help speed up entry and reduce congestion at the ticket windows.
2. Spectators will be able to move between the Ice Arena and Summit Arena throughout the tournament. When they arrive and enter the arena, they will receive a wristband that will allow them to go back and forth between the Class A and Class AA tournament games.
3. Below is the website to purchase advanced tickets:

Congratulations to Mausten Stelter (junior) and Elle Stelter (7th grade), who have both received invitations to compete in the 2026 USA Shooting Junior Olympic competitions, an honor extended to athletes who meet national performance benchmarks through state qualifying matches.
Mausten has been invited to compete in the Rifle Junior Olympics (both precision air rifle and .22 smallbore), which will be held April 8–13 in Anniston, Alabama.
Elle has received an invitation to compete in the Pistol Junior Olympic competition, which will take place April 8–13 at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
These invitations recognize the dedication, discipline, and countless hours of practice the athletes have invested in their sport. Competing at this level places them among some of the top junior shooting athletes in the country.
The District is incredibly proud of both of them. While this is not a school sponsored activity, we want to recognize the accomplishments of both Elle and Mausten, we wish you good luck! We are honored that they will represent the West Central School District on the national stage.
