But Richland destroyed Casselton...who destroyed Enderlin...who destroyed Richland... oh and Richland Beat LLM... Thinking something is wrong with the Voters of the state.... but hey...Underdogs just got more to prove I guess... Enderlin Girls play OG on OG home court this week...I sense an upset....as OG just got beat by 10 this past wknd to a team who for the 1st time just received votes...Hankinson(lost to Lisbon who got Thumped by Enderlin and LLM....should be an interesting week Kindred vs Richland ...Enderlin Vs OG... A True Test for all 4 teams
My guess...Enderlin fell out with their 13 point loss to Central Cass (4-7 now; 2-6 when game was played); Richland hasn't received votes since the 12/26 poll where they were 2-2 and then split that week to move to 3-3.
Everyone gets so 'bent out of shape' over the poll...the poll is a subjective ranking by the media...it holds ZERO bearing on making State, or anything else that occurs on the court.
One thing we are seeing in both Boys & Girls basketball is A LOT of parity (a little more notice in the Boys so far).
