TEA - Harrisburg fell behind early to Elk Point-Jefferson in the Region 4A title game and never quite recovered as the Tigers lost by 15 points Tuesday in Tea 50-35.

Senior Patrick Draisey led the Harrisburg attack with 14 points and six rebounds.

But first half foul trouble forced the senior to the bench early in the second quarter. It hurt the Tigers as EPJ pulled away and pushed its lead to eight points after leading by one at the end of the first.

Harrisburg couldn’t get witin in single digits after three quarters.

Ethan Pace led EPJ with 21 points. EPJ will play in next week’s Class A state tournament.

Harrisburg sophomore Eric Hensch scored nine. Senior Jordan Budde added five points and seven rebounds.

The loss ends the Tigers season at 12-11.

Harrisburg returns three starters next year but loses Budde and Draisey to graduation.
