Canistota 57, De Smet 45
MITCHELL — Canistota, which was also receiving votes in the Class B boys’ basketball rankings, used strong runs in the first and third quarters to topple No. 1-ranked De Smet 57-45 during the DWU/Culver’s Classic on Saturday at the Corn Palace.
The Hawks, who improved to 14-3, opened a 13-6 lead in the first quarter and then outscored the Bulldogs 19-8 in the third quarter.

It will be good film for us to learn from and hopeful to get back on track Tuesday at Deubrook.”
