North Dakota Preps

You hate to second guess a coach, especially one of Gibson's caliber, but going for the two-point conversion seemed questionable.  Any thoughts......

im sure he asked the team what they wanted to do and i bet they wanted to go for the win

I agree... I would of gone for the win...

I feel you play for overtime at home and go for the win on the road but thats just me

agreed

Minot was rollin all over BHS in the 2nd half and the offense had a nice drive led by thorton at the end and thats the only thing they had goin for them the whole 2nd half, and they had so much momentum just a bad pass by esley the only bad one he made the whole drive

Anyone got stats on the game?

Yeah, I wasn't too surprised... Bismarck only put together two decent drives in the game and scored on both... The Demons had a really hard time running the ball. I think Gibson would have been pretty happy if his team could have got out of their with a win and they had just as good of a chance at getting the 2-point as going into overtime and having to score.

Here's the Bismarck Tribune story of the game with stats.

I think that the game showed that minot was the more physical team.  they dominated most of the game, including not converting on a 4th down on the 2 yard line and missing a 35 yard field goal.

Bismarck High's defense was completely out of gas. Coach Gibson really had no choice but to try and steal the win right there
