In Region 5 it should be a great tournament down in Mandan. Plan on going there's some really good teams out of District 10. I'm going to say Shiloh, Grant County, or Underwood will represent region 5. The semi-finals could end up being Shiloh vs Wilton-Wing, & Underwood vs Grant County. I'm hoping for a Shiloh vs Underwood rematch in the Region 5 championship.


Shiloh beat Underwood 76-57 on Dec.12

Grant County beat Underwood 57-34 in the New Salem tourney & again 53-42 on Jan. 27

And Shiloh beat Grant County 85-62 on Jan. 11

People can say Shiloh will win Region 5 all they want. But the fact is look at last year's Region 5 boys basketball tournament. Everyone was predicting a Solen vs Shiloh matchup. Instead it was TLMM(who defeated Solen) vs Washburn (who knock off Shiloh)

So could Wilton-Wing upset Shiloh if they meet in the semis it's possible. Will the third time be the charm for Underwood to beat Grant County if they also meet in the semis. We could see an all district 10 region 5 championship game then. But when was the last time two District 10 girls teams played for the region 5 title. For example Underwood (D10) vs Wilton-Wing (D10) not Shiloh (D9) vs Grant County (D9).

I don't care what region it is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. It doesn't matter what your record is if your a 10 win team and advance to the region title game or an undefeated #1 ranked team all it takes is one bad night and your seasons over just like that.

Underwood, Wilton-Wing, Garrison, & Center-Stanton these four teams could all win in the opening round. But I see only Underwood & Wilton-Wing advancing to the semi-finals. Garrison could knock off the District 9 #2 seed. But I don't see it happening. The District 9 champion will beat Center-Stanton.

Shiloh walks out of Region 5 easily.

I think Grant County is the only team that has a chance to pull off the upset over Shiloh. They have size, talent and experience. At this point, Shiloh is the biggest favorite to win their region, but I wouldn't hand them the trophy yet.

Shiloh might win region 5 I wouldn't take any team lightly. Every team is going to put a fight. But If Shiloh and Wilton-Wing meet in the Semi-Finals. It's going to be tough the Miners are a very tough team they gave Underwood greave in both of the games this season in which Underwood won. Plus Garrison beat the Miners 55-26 earlier in the year and Wilton-Wing got them back 51-47 in the District 10 semi-finals I don't know if Dickinson Trinity is any good this year but Wilton-Wing beat them by a point earlier in the year. And last year Shiloh beat Wilton-Wing 52-39 in the region 5 semi-finals. So an upset out of Region 5 could possibly happen. Whether it's in the semi-finals or region championship game.

Shiloh beat Grant County 85-62 on Jan.11. & Again 65-56 in the District 9 title game.

Grant County beat Underwood 57-34 in the New Salem tourney & 53-42 on Jan. 27

Shiloh beat Underwood 76-57 on Dec. 11

What I'm getting at is Shiloh beat Grant County twice & Grant County beat Underwood twice. And it's very very difficult to beat that same team three times in one year.

I will gladly eat my words on that prediction. Hats off to Grant County. Any one that keeps Bismarck out of the Class B Tournament is OK with me.
