On the opposite side of the field, the Brooking Bobcats are 3-3 on the year, looking to bounce back from a 20-0 loss to Tea Area last week.

Kickoff from Crane-Youngworth Field is set for 7:00 PM tomorrow night. Pregame coverage on KYNT and KYNTV begins at 6:00. Brayden Butler and Josh Boelter will be on the call.

The Class AA Girls Tennis State Tournament begins today in Sioux Falls, with the Yankton Gazelles looking to bring home several accolades at this year’s event.

The Gazelles went 16-6 in dual play in the regular season, capturing a 3rd place team finish at the ESD Conference Meet last week.

Yankton’s Nora and Sabrina Krajewski look to defend their state titles at flight one doubles, with Nora looking to capture her third straight singles championship, and the fourth of her career.

Matches will be held at Tomar Park, McKennan Park, and Lincoln High School, beginning at 8:00 AM this morning.

Yankton Gazelles Volleyball returns to action tonight, taking on the Brandon Valley Lynx in Brandon.

The Gazelles are 4-11 on the year, playing their first match since last Thursday’s loss to Sioux Falls Christian.

First serve from Brandon Valley High School is set for 6:30 PM tonight.

Yankton Competitive Cheer and Dance travels to Watertown today for a varsity invitational. Events are set to begin at 5:00 PM at Watertown High School.
