I agree somewhat, You got Hankinson sitting at 4-4 and a decent Central McLean team at 3-5. Both would give a tough game in a playoff matchup.
You'd think it could be top 2 in each region with the next 8 highest QRF to get your 24 teams for the playoffs. Try to keep the first two rounds somewhat regional or at least East vs East and West vs West. Seeding the region champs 1-8 with a coaches vote was the right thing to do. LaMoure would've been the number 6 seed with the QRF. With that being said I like the top 3 in each region, gives every team a clear idea on how to make the playoffs when the season starts.
South Dakota had a zero win team in the 11AA playoffs a few years ago. Glad we don't have the mess of 7 classes for football like they have down there.

What makes you think, "it's all about $$ for the NDHSAA"? I don't see any correlation.

He is a load on offense and helps anchor a very, very solid defense from his linebacker spot. Like most 9 man teams, depth is an issue.

His replacement ran for over 100 on 9 carries and scored 2 TDs last week.

I saw in the Dickinson Press an article about Mott-Regent stating that their QB may be out this week as well. I know Napoleon airs the ball out quite a bit so it might not be quite the same effect, but anytime a team loses a starting QB it definitely makes a difference
