Way too early 2022-2023 Top Region Teams

[Region 1 Fan]

Is it true that Kindred's big guy is going to miss the basketball season because of injury. If that's the case, that changes the landscape for Region 1. You probably have CC, OG, SC, Richland and then maybe Kindred rounding out the top 5. Kindred will still be tough but it would be difficult to replace their big guy as he is a matchup issue for all of Region 1.

I believe Sunram is not playing this year. BUT that does not mean Kindred does not have Height and Athletes back. They Will not be 5th in the region. Ousse is a Solid 6'6 if not 6'7, Peraza is a Full 6'4 and his brother grew his Junior and senior year... Both play above the rim. Davis is a solid 6'4 and an athlete. and a number of kids from 6 foot range. If Kindred can learn to play together and not worry about who is putting up points... Central Cass will have their hands full. Don't get me wrong, Sunram was probably and all state player this year but he needs to get health and ready for the next level of Football....

Totally agree that Kindred will still be a force by years end. Extremely talented and well coached. I do think it may take them a half a year or so to find their identity. Once they do, watch out! They will be a tough out come tourney time.

Kindred's JV and C Squad teams were both strong last year, so even though they may have some new faces on the court, they have quality players at every level. Losing Sunram hurts, but they are at least going into the season knowing he's not playing, rather than him trying to play, getting hurt in January and then dealing with it.

Kindred without Sunram will most likely still be the #2 seed, and he was never going to be All-State in BB.

Maybe not All-State but he would have been one of the top players in Region 1. I think anyone in the top 4 of Region 1 could represent their Region very well at State. Region 1 is top heavy with the top 4 - CC has to be the Pre-Season favorites, after that, no one is paying attention to Sargent County and Oak Grove. Both teams will be tough to deal with...Sargent County has everyone coming back and Oak Grove will have two of their top players back as well. I think CC will be the # 1 seed heading into Region 1 tourney, OG #2, Sargent County #3 and Kindred #4. Richland will be a sneaky team this year as well.

You might be right but I might be as well. I make my statement because you name one team in the State of North Dakota That will not take and Start a 6'5 to 6'6 260LBs of Athlete that can shoot the 3 very well, Get you 20 points and 12 boards a night and if give him a step to the basket... he will rip the rim down... AND he is the type of player that does not care if he is scoring or rebounding or playing defense.... I will take him

You make your statement as a Kindred parent & supporter (nothing wrong with that...go ALL of Region 1 for me but I branch out and watch everyone).

Never said anything about him not being a great player or wanting him on my team. I’m sure anyone would gladly take him! He a great athlete and very good basketball player but he also didn’t average 20/12.

I'm assuming region 2 doesn't have a team that can contend for a state title?

Region 2 is always tough. Not sure about Title contenders this year but if I had to place some money on 2023/4 season, I would pick either Thompson from Region 2 or Kindred/Central Cass from Region 1. All 3 teams will be scary good.

If you are talking 2023/24 I would be looking at Grafton. They will have 3 starting guards as seniors that helped lead them to state as starting sophomores. Plus they will have some talented bigs to go with them.

Hillsboro will have their big guy back as a senior as well. Not sure if they will have enough depth to contend with Thompson and Grafton however. Region 2 is always fun to follow. Almost as much as Region 1
