Yes they were, back when the played their home games in a horrible little gym in Mandan. (At St. Anthony's I think.)

Shiloh Christian played their home games at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Mandan until their current facility was built. I think the new one was built in 2003, as the last game I remember at St. Joe’s was in 2002.

Yep, it was St. Joseph's. They actually hosted the District Girl's tournament there one year - 1996 if I remember right. When they started the VB program at Shiloh they also played their home games there and for the 1st year they had the old ankle breaker poles on stands. Parking was a pain there too.

I was trying to be funny and make a reference to the accusations of collusion for the girls tournaments. According to class B basketball RPI it has Beulah with a higher RPI than NRS and Richland (ND scores Net only has them higher than NRS).

I don't think that there was any collusion here, or in the girls tournament seedings. I could see Beulah being ranked above NRS, but it is what it is.

Shiloh hosted the District 6 Boys’ Basketball Tournament at St. Joseph’s in 1994, and at the University of Mary in 1995. Shiloh hosted the District 10 Girls’ Basketball Tournament at St. Joe’s in the fall of 1996. Like a lot of locations in Mandan, St. Joe’s is situated on a hill, and whatever limited parking there is, was facing either up or down a hill. It always seemed to be extremely icy in the winter, too.

No way. Beulah is the 2nd most western team in the tournament. Therefore they should be ranked #7, at least from what I gather as the preferred seeding mechanism here.

Well, they are probably the second best Class A team in the tournament.

Wait. I meant third.

Personally, they shouldn't let any teams in that play home games west of 281.

Seeing as how the west uses that line to b!tc# about travel.

With Thompson being the number 1. RPI and schedules don’t mean crap now that Thompson is sitting pretty. And if you had to travel 6 hours to do anything for a state tournament, I can promise you would be the first to complain.

I'm kind of with Heimer here, west of 281 should be its own state, West North Dakota.

While I agree with you about Beulah and their big school status, Kindred gets a pass? Beulah has 218 kids and Kindred has 211.

I seem to remember hearing quite the complaints from Thompson fans about having to come to state babe ruth in hettinger a few years ago, but I forgot, only those of us west of 281 complain about travel! How stupid of me to think otherwise.

Yes. I was curious where HN and Laimore were ranked mostly.

Really waiting for the season to be over so we can start next season's discussion. HN has to have a shot. Basically everyone back. I was impressed with their freshman post player, I thought he held his own. He could be really good.

No, Kindred doesn't get a pass. However, Kindred is not the team that was Class A as recently as, what, 10 years ago, or so?

But you're right, Kindred is not a "Class B" team. They are a middle class team, if only there was such a thing.

As far as Babe Ruth, I hadn't heard that, but if it happened, I'd say the same thing back to fans that didn't want to travel distance.

That being said, Jamestown didn't have hotel space for a tournament, and they were taken off the list. If the complaints were about lack of places to stay, that would be a legitimate complaint. Grand Forks does not have that problem, and it was Hettinger parents that were complaining SOLELY about distance.

By the way, its 160 more miles, or 2 hours, more from Hettinger to Grand Forks than it is from Abercrombie to Minot. Does Fairmount still play in ND? If so, when they make it, or Hankinson makes it, I doubt they will complain about the trip to Minot.

Again, I have said I’m unsure about the tournament being in the far north east of the state. I’d honestly feel the same about it if Dickinson hosted it. I didn’t think it was the best when Hettinger hosted baseball. The Betty was an outstanding venue for basketball, absolutely outstanding atmosphere. Does that mean I can’t question the rationale of having a team drive 400 miles and a team drive 7. If you look at it rationally I don’t think it’s an out of line thought. However, it doesn’t matter where state is, if my team makes it I’m going. Period.

Just to answer your question on Beulah...2005-2006 was last year in Class A

Minot Ryan is driving zero. Any complaints?

Nope, didn't think so.

This was all about Thompaon playing at the Betty. Has it been the Alerus, you probably wouldn't have saud squat.

If its unfair for a team to drive 400 miles when another drives only 7, Bismarck and Minot should be permanently scratched unless Shiloh, Ryan, and Our Redeemers are disallowed to compete.

See ya in Minneapolis. That's where we will be.

Holy cow do you have to blow everything way out of proportion? I would have said the same no matter what facility it was played in. I’m not hating on Grand Forks, I promise. I actually enjoy going to GF. If you’ve followed any of my thoughts I don’t think Shiloh or Ryan or Our Reedemers should be class B.

Schwab, you said:

"Does that mean I can’t question the rationale of having a team drive 400 miles and a team drive 7."

You can question whatever you wish. However, you have not questioned the ability of Minot Ryan to play literally next door to their school, or Shiloh play in their hometown, or Our Redeemers play in their hometown.

If you're not willing to admit that is, at best the same as Thompson at the Betty, and, and worst, much more unfair, you simply lose all credibility in the travel argument.

As I stated, it's 240 miles from Abercrombie to Minot. Its a matter of yards from Minot Ryan to the Dome.

Tournaments rotate, Thompson is not complaining. They will play, they will do what they do, they will accept the results, and no one will complain that the tournament was in Minot.

If people from Hettinger-Scranton can't do the same, I guess that's your problem. Thompson's girls beat Kindred in their gym, not at the Betty. Kindred played zero games at The Betty, and beat Thompson there, who played three there. You didn't lose to the gym.

I really hope you heard a lot of people from Hettinger-Scranton complain, because if you’re basing your comments on the complaining about my comments, then you’re out of touch with reality. There is a difference between questioning and complaining. I have no problems with the way the tournaments rotate, period. Like you, I would much rather see the girls state in a smaller venue. As far as questioning the “home court advantage” of schools close to or in big towns, I absolutely question it. It bothers me that Bishop Ryan’s campus is closer to the dome then where I parked today. However, I won’t complain as much about that as I coach in a region that plays its regional tournament on someone’s home court every single year.

I think you and I would agree on more than you realize, you won’t find anyone more in favor of small towns at the B tournament then I am.

I hear you. I get it. I agree that we agree more than disagree. But it's really hard to shake this statement. Clearly, there was an effort on the part of the people in Hettinger and Scranton to discredit the tournament before it even started. It wasn't just you. It was parents on the girls board.

If you truly agree with small venues and tournament rotation, withdraw this statement.

I’ll withdraw the statement, if you agree that it shouldn’t be only in Grand Forks ;) I have no problem with teams having to travel if it’s not the same area having to drive the longest distance every year.
