POTOSI — The MAAA All-Conference basketball teams have been released following the elimination of the Bismarck girls and West County boys squads from state-playoff contention on Wednesday.
The Arcadia Valley Tigers claimed a share of the Small-School division title for the first time since 2003, and were credited by the league coaches with four selections overall to lead all teams.

The Knightettes are matched by division runner-up North County with two First Team athletes. Ste. Genevieve finished third in the conference standings despite posting its highest victory total in school history with 21.
