Section 1 i would say Galchutt or Fairmount will win it, i know Galchutt made it last year and hit our best pitcher really good (Hovey), Fairmount i guess i dont know much about but i guess i've heard they usually form a good team. Enderlin or West Fargo (b) could be good, i would think West Fargo could get some good 16 year olds to play. But i see Galchutt winning their section again this year.
Section 2 i would think LaMoure, Lisbon, or Oakes would win. Lisbon made it last year, but i think i heard something about Lamoure getting some out of town players that will really help them. I think they will win their region. I remember Oakes had a good team in Babe Ruth a couple years ago, but i didnt hear much of them in h.s. ball. I think Lamoure will win this section.
Section 3 is tough. Thompson, Central Valley, Hatton and Mayville should all put together great teams. Thompson i think is the favorite to win this region with Schumacher back. But they will be challenged. Thompson should win this section.
Section 4 would be between Grafton and Langdon. Grafton made it last year, but i dont know much about how many players they lose to age. I think Langdon will win this one though, they made it in h.s. and maybe they will get some players that didnt play h.s.
Section 5 will be 3 teams, Velva, Rollette and the Metros. Rollette gets 4 Rugby players and they could be decent. Velva will be good like always, and the Metros are young and could challenge those 2. Makoti also beat Velva but i heard they only have 1 good pitcher and he is inconsistant. I see Velva winning this section.
Section 6 is pretty much Garrisons. Hummell will lead them back to state. None of those western teams can really put together much of any team.
Section 7 has 3 teams that could win it. Cooperstown, Steele and Harvey. Cooperstown is probably the fav. with all their h.s. players and some from dakota prairie. Steele always puts together good teams and will tough. Harvey has good pitching but we are inconsistant hitting. Not sure who will win this section. Toss up.
Section 8 will be either highway 21 or beulah i suppose. i would think Beulah would win because of their town size, but dont really know much about that section. Washbrun will take this section, forgot about them.
i would say thompson is again the obvious favorite to win state

deere wrote:Well I wouldnt say that those teams are necessarly better (not taking anything away from them, all good teams) but Carrington split with Harvey, beat Steele once (plays them on monday again) and lost to Cooperstown by one with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 7th with Grover pitching. (Not saying they could of beat cooper but were missing two key players Zach Glennen and Lucas Stangeland) So I'm saying there right in the mix of things in that section.
steele has a short supply on pitchers, shwab, lang, and bakkum are their only pitchers, all are hittable, xpt i have never seen bakkum throw so i wont say anything about him pitching, cooperstown has very good hitters, pitching staff that throws strikes and if a team swings the bat they can be beat, cooperstown is a team that can play 8 games in a tournament and have a chance at winning it because of all their decent pitchers, carrington has very weak fielders and not the strongest pitching staff, and they lost to new rockford earlier in the year, and new rockford could very well be the worst team in the regionSaucesauer wrote:tanner lorenz wrote:yep, they have too tough of a region to make it to state, steele cooperstown and harvey are all better than they arebaseball wrote:exactly, carrington might be able to win 1 MAYBE 2 games during the tournament but dont expect them to make a trip to state.
