North Dakota Preps

as the season winds down and spring-summer approach.....it simply will be a blink of an eye it seems and next season will be upon us.....

this thread is by no means taking a jab at any town or any school but I have a question that arises from the talks of 3 classes, from the talks of co-ops and consolidations and what the future beholds....it may not seem like an important question but maybe a bit of light should be shown on it!

are there any gyms, that are still being played in because of the co-op, that should be retired to game night?

Pembina, Crystal, Edinburg come to mind.

Crystal was one I had thought of...
when you have Edinburg (very nice floor but not a lot of seating) and Drayton (nice gym)
to me this takes out Crystal (not near the facility the other 2 are)

Pembina? never thought of it but yes Walhalla is much more equipped

You guys have to keep in mind, however, that the gyms where they host maybe one or two games a year ALWAYS have awesome popcorn and other various specialties in the works for their big nights! To shut down these gyms would be a travesty!

As a fan that oddly gains around 20 pounds over the course of the VB, GBB, and BBB seasons, I definitely consider myself an expert on this topic.

Like I said touchy topic ....I don't eat at the games because my wallet is feeding 5 others jk

Do they still have games in Neche? I know that they still did about 10 years ago. If so I would retire that one first.

nope they retired that one.....yes the old tile floor etc etc
it was time.....now all these gyms would make great practice facility's
and with some towns needing more gym space it would be nice to farm out the retired ones to
towns close by for practice.....it seems so hard these days to get in a gym!
