1982 - Divide County was ranked #10 and won it all.
and they beat Edmore (edmore wasn't ranked?) for the title in Fargo (before the Dome, wasn't there very often back then) I was there...
1982 is the correct year. Edmore was RV in the final poll but not in it.
do you have a list of the top 10?
DC being #10 which was Stated....
thats a crazy outcome of a season.....even being from that era, I did not know this....although Polls were not thrown out as much back then or lets say as easy to find.....I'm assuming a couple of the top 9 didn't even make Regions?
1. Cando
2. Parshall
3. Hillsboro
4. Oakes
5. New Town
6. Munich
7. Max
8. Hope
9. Mott
10. Divide County
Others: Edmore, Hettinger, Oak Grove, Garrison, Strasburg, Sheldon, Reeder, Hazen
1. Cando: covered in my other post.
2. Parshall: lost 51-48 to Divide County in R7 final. Parshall had handed DC its only defeat earlier in the year.
3. Hillsboro: lost 33-31 to Mayville Portland in D5 semifinal. Despite having a 17-1 regular season record Hillsboro drew the #2 seed in the district because of a loss to Hope in the regular season. That loss ended a 40-game winning streak. The Burros finished 18-2 and didn't make the region tournament.
4. Oakes: lost 59-53 to Hankinson in R1 semifinals. Finished the season 21-2
5. New Town: lost to Parshall by 2 in district championship and lost 53-45 to Divide County in first round of regionals. Finished 19-4
6. Munich: Lost to Edmore in district and region finals. Finished 20-4
7. Max: Lost to Des Lacs-Burlington 71-64 in R6 final. Finished 21-3
8. Hope: Lost to Crary 54-48 in R2 semis. Finished 21-2
9. Mott: Lost to Hettinger 60-45 in D32 final and then Flasher in R8 first round. Finished 17-4.
10. Divide County: won state with a 25-1 record.
