after traveling to west fargo last night i was very impressed with devils lake. they were up against an 8 on 5 matchup. the refs were clearly in west fargo's favor looking like they had been paid off. Thee travis mertens stole the ball and went in the for the dunk, only to get a T for dunking the ball? it sure looked to me and everyone around me that the ref had the T called before he even dunked the ball. the calls were clearly in west fargo's favor all night. after the T the devils lake and even some west fargo fans were absolutely irrate and the terrible call. even a couple news channels thought that the call was terrible. after seeing that game it leaves me with only one quesion: if devils lake cannot be beat 8 on 5 who can beat them when the refs are legit? of course everyone is going to be gunning to beat an undefeated team but atleast let them do it fairly. i do not forsee anyone beating devils lake this year. with their fan support in the regular season i am going to be waiting to see their support in regionals and state. devils lake is clearly the best team in the state and until someone beats them on their own you would never change my mind. devils lake can put out and 5 players on their varsity roster and still beat any team. they are a quality team with a lot of depth and have the best player in the state in travis mertens.
