Good EDC summary NoDakular, but GF Central (East #3) is going to the state tournament, not Fargo Davies. GF Central is a very good team when Zach Walz is pitching and has the ability to pull off the win versus Century (West #2) in the first round. As it has been all season, Central's weakness is pitching depth beyond Walz. With four talented freshmen starting for them nearly all season, Central should be even better over the next three years.
As for Red River's starting rotation, it is likely they will use the same three pitchers and in the same order that they threw in the EDC tourney: Regimbal, Hennessy, and Richardson. Between the three, they gave up 1 run and each pitched a complete game in the three EDC tourney games. Red River made zero fielding errors in those three games. Can they do the same on Mandan's relatively rough natural grass infield?
From the EDC, Fargo North, West Fargo, and Red River should all be strong contenders for the State title.
