They might as well count tomorrow's East Region championship as the state champion. I don't see Des Lacs beating either Kindred or CC. They may be undefeated, but I doubt the level of competition out there can match the east.

It does seem likely that Kindred-Richland and Central Cass will meet again in the title game at state, but who knows!? That's why they play the games. I think whoever draws Des Lacs-Burlington from the East could give them fits even in the opening round. It'll be interesting.

boblee, do you think a first round sweep by the East is possible?

Big Blue,

I think it is possible, but I would pick Des Lacs over MPCG. The Patriots were a true Cinderella story at east regions, having to rally from down 3 in the bottom of the 7th of the play-in game. I would bet the other three East teams win.

comment makes no sense since both teams will be in the state tournament.

Any potential for upsets on day 2 in the winner's bracket? If Watford City or Des Lacs-Burlington has a chance it's going to need to be a low-scoring game. Was hoping for more competitive games yesterday although that third game was quite the battle. It will be interesting to see what Friday has in store.
