This week begins the start of Team South Dakota in its National Tournaments as the Oahe Capitals have representation on three teams which includes the 16U Girls team competing in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Brylee Kafka and Katie Reiss will both be playing this week for Team South Dakota as the duo is part of 17 players overall who will be up north for the tournament.
