Grafton and Powers Lake.
I think Grafton has to much talent in their guards but PL will push them hard the whole game.
EKM and Rugby....
I know EKM is physical and can play but I don't think the state officials will let them play like they do in Region 3. If they let them play.... EKM if it is called tight... Rugby
Four Winds and Bismarck...
I take Four winds by 15
DT and Kindred....
Both great defensive teams... maybe the top 5 for both. It will be tight and a game in the 40's. I will take Kindred by 7. Kindred is really tall and very athletic and by the way they are all healthy right now which basically has not happened all year except for a handful of games.
I say Grafton in game 1
EKM in game 2
4 Winds in game 3
Kindred in Game 4
I was hoping Kindred would've been opposite Bracket of 4 Winds...but that's fine...if they play like they have in the past few games...They will beat 4 Winds by 8... They have the strength, the coach, offensive skills, defensive perseverance, the shooting... and a bench. IMO 4WM and Kindred are the Best teams going in.
round 2
EKM over Grafton
Kindred surprises 4WM
Final night
4WM over Grafton
Kindred beats EKM for Title
""They will beat 4 Winds by 8... They have the strength, the coach, offensive skills, defensive perseverance, the shooting... and a bench. IMO 4WM and Kindred are the Best teams going in.""..well I got 1 number right...lol..plus 10
Being able to watch all these teams all year via streaming services I was able to come to these predictions.
To me the teams going into the championship came from the toughest regions. I am an Enderlin Eagles fan through and through, however if they would have beat OG I am not sure they could have beat this Kindred team. When Enderlin beat Kindred by 2, Vikings did not have Keller...he plays a Huge role in this team. They are so dang athletic and keep their head in the game. Never lose composure and have a deep bench so foul trouble will never play a part. Every player knows his place and his role. Coach Woehl is by far 1 of the Best Coaches there is.. he is also fortunate to have such talent. He stays engaged with his players and is not afraid to discipline them. They execute their offense well and are very intense on Defense. Enderlin and Kindred will no doubt be on top next year in the Region and the State. Eagles lose 2 of their top 6, Kindred lose 4 of their top 8.
EKM will give Kindred a good fight tonight, but I think that they will run out of gas as they do not have the bench or as much athleticism. Foul shooting was subpar for both teams last night not sure it will come to that in the end...but we will see.. I will stick with my prediction...Vikings by 10 +
Good Luck tonight to Kindred Vikings... hope ya Bring home your 1st Championship !
BTW ..Coach Woehl should get coach of the year
Jessie White hands down the best Basketball Player in the state..if he doesnt get Mr. Basketball then people had blinders on.
