im gonna hve to jump on lakota's bandwagon. They were picked to lose on the road at NCB and at CV, but they have just been playin there game...... Ill take them on the road vs. Napoleon

[rep]

of the four teams left, i believe that napoleon is the only one to win a state title (north dakota's first 9-man title in 1975 according to one internet search)...have any of the others been to state at any other point?

[rep]

i think that with lakota, the biggest question they have to answer right now is who do they have to stop?

gross ran for 130-plus in the imperials' playoff opener...from what i've read online dewald went for over 200 against hillsboro...and then there is always the random playaction to grunefelder.

personally i think that if lakota would make it to state it is the better story (gotta love the under dog overcoming), but napoleon is tough. i'm guessing it'll be a wild one on saturday.

hopefully anyway...if i'm gonna freeze on the sidelines i'd just as soon watch a good game.

Divide County has been to the championship a few times and Turtle Lake has been there once in 1986. I think that Turtle Lake is just as big a underdog as Lakota.

Divide County went to the title game last year and lost to Richland and won the state championship in 1998 over Hatton-Finley-Sharon.
