It was in the Fargo Civic (great place to host high school basketball games--6000 capactiy about--fans near court--good court to jump off)
Valley City vs. Fargo Shanley or better yet---Jeff Boschee vs. Nick Jacobson
the last time in recent memory that TWO D1 players from ND faced off in a game--of IMPORTANCE no less
They exchanged baskets back n forth--showing off their outstanding shooting abilities and talent. I believe they EACH scored 38 points as VC won by a few points.
The Civic was going crazy
MPCG team in 1995 was better or more talented but lost to Carrington (Jim Kleinsasser) in the semifinals.bisonslayer wrote:bcourtbraves wrote:How about the 97 Class A State Championship?? OT, i was a little tyke then but i remember watching the game and everyone in the gym was absolutely crazy
yea Beulah vs Mayport CG. I dont believe it was OT. Mayports starters were all 6'5..one of beulahs starters was 5'7 put it this way he was on the bench most of the game..Mayport won 47-46. Beulah got the ball with 5 seconds Beulahs 6' point guard Jayden Olsen who was a future Mr. BB canidate drove the lane got a good shot but put up a airball against the Mayport giants, shoulda kicked out. That Mayport team best team in 'B' history no doubt.
Wow.....i thought that the 34-32 game was a great game....they played straight up man and shut each other down.....2 great basketball minds doing battle......and real basketball is defense.fbinnd wrote:Until Class B adopts a shotclock, the Hettinger-Regent game is not a guaranteed "once in a lifetime" deal. Someone else in B will try this crap, and it will probably work. Then, we'll be denied one of the better teams in the state moving on.
Oh, and wow, imagine that, Baller01 thinks the best game ever played in North Dakota has Trinity in it. I would have never guessed. I'm sure Baller01's second through eigth best games ever played were each of the 7 consecutive Region 7 title games our favorite recruiting parochial won. That game between MPCG and Trinity was a joke and proof positive of whats wrong with B basketball. No state title game should be 34-32.
Get a shotclock, get some man defense, and play real basketball, or pack up and go home.

I'm sorry, but I was completely bored by the MPCG-Trinity game of a few years ago... Both teams in the low 30s.... Yawn... It had no ebb and flow...
I remember seeing quite a few great games in the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s at the Class B state tournament (including Fridley's Watford City team against McDonald's Munich team and that 1985 Newburg/Linton game), but none of them stick out as being as good as the NR-S/Botno game.
As far as Class A, I've seen some good ones as well, but it seems like any great game at the Class B state tourney trumps anything from the Class A ranks just purely on atmosphere.

that is very surprising actually because baller01 has no affiliation with trinity

Ellendale football game at Ellendale was the best game ever played in North Dakota, but for me it was the funnest game to play in my senior year. Napoleon came in 7-0 and Ellendale was 4-3. Napoleon was never scored on in the first half all season and Ellendale was able to do it because Napoleon sat all their starters. Ellendale beat Napoleon 8-6 using a six man defensive front in nine man football.

I sure think so.
