The Pierre Governor basketball team qualified for the Class AA State boys basketball tournament last night by downing Rapid City Stevens 52-36 in a Region 2AA playoff game. The Governors never trailed in the game. After building a 22-9 second quarter lead, Stevens closed the half on a 8-0 run to trail 22-17 at the half, but it was as close as the Raiders would get as Pierre outscored Stevens 12-3 in the third quarter and build as much as a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter. Lane Severyn led the Governors with 23 points and was the only double figure scorer on the game. Eric Drake was the lone double figure scorer for Stevens with 10. The Governors outrebounded the Raiders 41-25 on the game with Severyn pulling down a game high 7. The Governors improve to 16-7 and will be the number 3 seed in next week's Class AA State tournament in Rapid City.
