Change In Classes The 1985-86 basketball season was one of great change in South Dakota. For the first time South Dakota went to three classes instead of two in High School basketball. This change had a great impact on Chamberlain High School. No longer would they have to battle the major schools to go to the State tournament. Now compe- tition would be against schools their size in tournament play. This was and will continue to be a great motivating factor for CHS bask- etball players. This year’s team was very inexperienced, coming into the season with only two returning players with extensive playing experience from last year’s squad. The team started slowly, but caught fire in the middle of a season which was highlighted by a five game winning streak and victories over the No. 10 and No. 4 teams in the state. The team ended their regular season at 10-8 and earned sec- ond place in the District with a four point loss to State Tournament team Platte. With two teams advancing from each District, CHS ad- vanced to the Regional only to lose a heartbreaker to Sully Buttes by one point on a 25-foot shot at the buzzer. Team captains were Travis Vlasman, Brian Blackwell, and Brent Gruenig. Best defensive player was Brian Blackwell; Best offensive player was Jade Leiferman. All Conference Central Conference, and Big Dakota Conference were awarded to Jade Leiferman. 3 1. Brian Blackwell fights for possession. 2. Travis Vlasman displays his shooting technique. 3.
