Viborg-Hurley’s Coral Mason will play college basketball at the University of South Dakota. Mason will be a walk-on for the Coyotes. 

Mason, a native of Hurley, was the 2023 South Dakota Class B Player of the Year. She averaged 18.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.4 steals per game during her senior season. 


Mason was twice named to the all-state first team and twice selected as the Cornbelt Conference MVP. She was a three-time all-conference player, twice making the first team with one second team honor. The 5-foot-10 guard was a 1,000-point scorer for Viborg-Hurley High School, helping lead the Cougars to back-to-back state championship titles.

"We are excited to welcome Coral to our Coyote family," USD coach Kayla Karius said in a press release. "She completed a fantastic high school career, leading her team to back-to-back state titles and was named the South Dakota Class B Player of the Year. Growing up in our great state, she certainly knows the pride of wearing South Dakota on her jersey and will be a great addition to our program."

Mason's also a two-time all-Cornbelt Conference pick on the volleyball court, being selected as the conference MVP and honorable mention all-state as a senior last fall.
