Viborg-Hurley’s Coral Mason and Denae Mach are 1,000-point scorers, state champs and Class B first-team all-staters. 

The dynamic duo led the Cougars to back-to-back state championships and were chosen to the Class B all-state first team, which was selected by the South Dakota Basketball Coaches Association.

They were joined on the first team by Wolsey-Wessington’s Mallory Miller, Ethan’s Ava Lingemann, Corsica-Stickney’s Avery Broughton and Jones County’s Mallory Valburg. 

Mason, a repeat first-team selection, is the Class B player of the year. Mach was a second-team selection last season. They led the Cougars to a 23-3 record and they went undefeated against Class B opponents this season. 

Mason, a 5-foot-10 do-it-all forward, logged 18.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season. Mach, a 5-foot-9 knockdown shooter, averaged 16.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

Miller was a second-team selection last season for Aberdeen Christian. A 6-foot-4 center, Miller registered 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Miller, who will play at the Division I Arizona State University, finished with more than 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in her career. She led the Warbirds (23-3) to a third-place finish, the best in co-op history.

Lingemann is making her first-ever all-state team. The 5-foot-6 junior guard recorded 20.6 points and six assists per game for the Rustlers, who placed fourth at the state tournament. She was an all-tourney selection for Ethan (21-4). 

Broughton capped off her decorated career with her fifth all-state selection, including her fourth straight first-team honor. She was a second-team selection in 2019. Broughton, a 5-foot-11 guard/forward, tallied 17.4 points, nine rebounds and three assists per game. She finished with 2,229 career points, the 17th most in South Dakota girls basketball history. The future University of South Dakota women’s basketball player also logged 1,186 rebounds, 401 assists, 272 steals and 262 blocked shots in her career.   

Valburg is making her first-ever all-state team. The 6-foot senior forward logged 18.2 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. Valburg was selected as the Class B Spirit of Su winner and led the Coyotes to a sixth-place finish at state. She will play college volleyball at Dakota Wesleyan University. 

The second team consists of Castlewood’s Maddie Horn, Wolsey-Wessington’s Leah Williams, Jones County’s Jadyn Jensen, Howard’s Abby Aslesen and Kate Connor and Sully Buttes’ Lydia Hill.
