this day tells the entire story....you literally could flip-flop each victory and have complete opposite
finishing out the tournament....
but I will steal Dave Richmans (ndsu head coach) comment "this is March, and March brings out things we dont see during the year"
I will go on to say that one could take away the seed # in front of each team and that it was a well rounded field this year with a slight adv to Thomp, HCV, PR, Larimore and I mean slight especially at peak point which is now....Tonight? well HCV has had a slight tougher row to hoe getting to tonight since Monday but with a day of rest and the experience of last year they have a slightly adv I think....weight will be on the 2 Jrs Henns and Reed .......... Grafton? well lets just say a bag of tricks... Droog has to play big, Garza has been hitting on all 8 and has to continue, Neiman needs to continue huge play also....Defense and rebounds.........it will be a nail biter...I think Grafton can do it...

Larimore winning that final regular season game put HCV and Thompson into the same bracket, which provided a good semifinal nail biter. I thought both Grafton and PRFL had a chance to win against Larimore and get to the championship game and it just came down to, as the Grafton coach said, who had a run at some point.
Congratulations to all teams involved on a great season of Region 2 basketball. It was wide open all year and, as I said earlier on in the season, there were 5 teams who had a shot at a Region title if the cards fell into place. There was a lot of great basketball played this season and, I must say, I thought there was some great defense played by many teams and players throughout the season. It was a lot of fun.
