G1: #2 Shiloh Christian (22-2) vs. Grafton (17-8)
Grafton will need a defensive battle to win this game. Shiloh has bigs to control Droog in the middle and plays good perimeter d. Shiloh.
G2: #3 Our Redeemer's (24-1) vs. Strasburg/Zeeland (20-4)
This is a tricky one. SZ has 4 losses, I believe 3 to South Dakota teams. Hard to figure out SOS. OR needs to control their main man and the paint. I think they will get it done. Our Redeemers. (However, think this game has the best chance for an upset if any game at this point is even considered one.)
G3: #1 Four Winds-Minnewaukan (23-1) vs. Northern Cass (18-5)
FW-M can play good D with their depth and run and score with anyone. On average, NC gives up the most points in the tourney and is going up against the highest scoring team in the tourney. FW-M.
G4: #4 Dickinson Trinity (20-4) vs. Kenmare (21-3)
Kenmare is 2nd highest scoring team in tourney, but going up against the best defensive team, statistically. DT has too much experience in the big games. DT.

Strasburg/Zeeland over ORCS. I think this will be a good one, but wouldn't be surprised if SZ wins handily.
N/C over Four Winds/Minnewaukan in a upset. I can see a lot of points going up in this one.
Trinity over Kenmare. I'm guessing this game will the least exciting game of the day.

I think Four winds beats Northern Cass by 35. I'll say 100-65.

Wow...no one is giving NC any credit...that should play into their favor!
EDIT: A LONG way from that 100-65 score...should be a close, tight finish in a game of evenly matched teams!

Grafton made an Impression against a tough team SC (not sure if they are 2end in State)
thought the reffing swayed to SC a bit...although not a total game changer....the hole Grafton dug hurt them..
SNZ vs OR this one was a little helter skelter...I really was intrigued by the last names of both teams
remined me of playing the Winnipeg alliance
a lot of muscle and IMO SNZ was the better team they just had ball management issues when protecting the lead...
I was impressed with NC and coming from what I would say was one of the toughest regions this year in the state had them prepared for any of the other 7 in the field.....FW has the fastest hands I"ve seen...could have had even more steals had the ball bounced the right way on a few plays....they're pesty....Tronis was the diff in this game (although L. Nelson was had they won)... I questioned the stack play underneath at the end...you almost know its going up top and three irons nailed it...the 2 carrying the ball calls on Tronis were bogus....I saw that move by many all day long with no whistle..and the second one was at a crucial time....not as crucial as the one called in the epic Epping vs Hillsboro back when, but it reminded me of that one....
D trin has a team, Shawn S. was player of the day...10 for 10?? com'on man 23 pts 15 rebounds and a double double at half time
FWM lost in Dec to these guys I take it....this will be a battle but DT is favored in Vegas for sure I would say by 5.... ...FW can win...but it takes their best Offence (which will be their best D) to do it...
play on!
