Rugby vs. Parshall
These two regions played in last year's opening round with Rugby just barely getting by New Town. That won't happen this year. Parshall is coming out of a weak Region 8. Rugby rolls to the easiest win in the opening round.
Oak Grove vs. May Port CG
The defending champions will come ready to roll regardless of how good of a defensive team MayPort has. Cavalier has a hard time scoring against a team with size & a team that plays good help. Cavalier has very little shooting. Oak Grove can & will shoot plus they play at a fast pace. Oak Grove might struggle early but they will get the tempo & win handily,
Four Winds vs. Shiloh Christian
Shiloh will be prepared for this one. Four Winds tends to play a little too fast & Shiloh will take advantage. I think this game will be a close one...closer than it should be. But in the end, Four Winds has the better talent & even though they won't play well, they will pull it out.
New England vs. LaMoure-LM
This could be the best game of the opening round. LaMoure-LM will get no respect here & be totally overlooked. Anthony Olson plays like he is 6'5". I watched them dismantle Dickinson Trinity two years ago at the State B when Trinity was suppose to cake walk through the tourney. They got cut down to size in the opening round. New England is tough...and should win. But watch out. These LaMoure kids might get a little mojo going and put themselves in a position to pull off a shocker.
It will be fun to watch. Hard to say who wins it. I do like Oak Grove but its hard to repeat. Four Winds & Rugby might be playing with the most motivation as each of the last two years, they finished 2nd place respectively...when it looked like they should have won the whole thing. Looking forward to the tourney & good luck to all the teams!
