All other ND state tournaments are located where the best facilities are. For example, hockey, football, track and basketball. All are held in the top arenas in the state...where they should be. This is NOT the case for volleyball. Minot is a dump. Nearly everyone I spoke with at the state tournament complained about the complete lack of professionalism around the tournament. The announcing was a disaster, the food, the facilities, the geographic location.
THE BYLAWS STATE THAT THE GIRLS STATE TOURNAMENT SHALL BE EQUITABLE TO THE BOYS TOURNAMENTS IN REGARDS TO FACITLITIES, AMMENITIES, OPPORTUNITY.
This has now gotten to the point where title IX now has to be addressed (girls sports given the same treatment as boys) federal law.
LETS ALL DO THE RIGHT THING, AND MOVE THE TOURNAMENT TO EITHR FARGO OR BISMARCK AT A FACILITY THAT THESE KIDS AND FANS DESERVE! Why couldn't the Bismarck civic center, or Fargo Scheels arena hold it?
I suggest that we all email the individual that is head of volleyball at NDHSAA at Kevin.morast@ndhsaa.org
And voice our disappointment. It's the right thing to do!

Also, how is Fargo a better geographic location than Minot. You Make no sense. Minot is known as one of the best arenas in the tri-state area.
