I don't care for how much Richland relies on 3 point shots, but they play well together and I think they will work for and get quality shots if the game is tight down the stretch. Kindred has a very nice team and are well coached. I just think they may have a better chance getting by Richland next year with another year on Keller.
In region 2 I'll be pulling for Thompson. But, I think HCV has improved as much as any team in the state this year. They lost to Thompson at home early by 7, but it could have been by double that pretty easily. Later in the season they lost in double ot in Thompson by 2. I just don't think Thompson has improved a ton as the season has progressed. They have 3 tall players, but IMO Overby is the only one on their team that can score down low consistently other than Schwabe, who plays at a guard and stands about 5'8". I see HCV winning by 6-10 points. I hope I am wrong, mainly to see a different team at state.
I agree with you. I too would like to see a different team in the state tournament.
I made my predictions earlier and they were:
R1- Richland
R2- HCV
R3- LaMoure-L-M
R4- New Rockford-Sheyenne
R5- Shiloh
R6- Bishop Ryan
R7- Beulah
R8- Powers Lake
But I'm rooting for
R1- Richland
R2- Thompson
R3- LaMoure-L-M
R4- New Rockford-Sheyenne
R5- New Salem-Almont
R6- Our Redeemer's
R7- Beulah
R8- Either Powers Lake or Mandaree
