I think Fargo might have a shot. I'm going Creighton Prep and Fargo in the Championship.

IMO Fargo has as good of a shot as Bismarck. The two Nebraska teams are very good, and a walk off in the last inning decided their State championship. Rapid City is a very solid team and Bismarck split their games with them. Minnesota always has very good teams also.

If a ND team wins, they better bring their 'A' game the whole tournament.

The tournament is Creighton Prep's to lose... they were a buzz-saw through the Omaha tournament, winning it all against Las Vegas Aces.

As I understand it, Aces beat SD Post 22 in the other semi in Omaha... Despite being very young, this Hardhats team is for real. Don't know anything about the others, to be honest. Just, the CP Regional is a tough place to win. Any mistakes loom large. For either Fargo or Bismarck to win a couple games at CP, they are going to need very stable pitching and batting - and both teams have had their up's and down's. For the Gov's, Losing Feeney is huge. And Fargo is not exactly without injuries, either: Big Bat Cardwell had a cast on wrist, and top pitcher Lein hasn't pitched all year, for what ever reason. So, I really don't see how either of the ND teams are playing on Sunday.

That said, I will DELIGHT in being proven wrong by either of them!

CP squeaks by Wayzata 6-5

Nope...Fargo Post 2 is the first team done! Bismarck also in the loser out game today.

Bismarck also on the way out...down 11-4 in the 8th
