Some good match ups coming at the Hillsboro holiday jam. #1 vs #7 and # 3 vs #4. should be some good basketball.

Thoughts after Thompson, Rugby, LaMoure-LM & Linton-HMB all lost last week?? Does Kidder County move to #1 or does Grafton's win over Thompson hop them up to #1??

I think Grafton moves to No. 1 with the big win on the road at Thompson. They have not lost a game in ND and the only loss is to Stephen-Argyle (in OT) who is undefeated and No. 6 in MN class A QRF.

I would go this way:
1. Grafton
2. Kidder Co.
3. Thompson
4. Velva
5. Langdon/Edmore/Munich
6. Kindred
7. Trenton
8. LaMoure
9. Carrington
10. Four Winds-Minnewaukan
10. Hettinger-Scranton

They haven't lost to a ND team. Their loss to SA was in Grafton.

SA also has a 3 point win vs LEM. SA has been very solid for the last ~5 years or so.

You are correct, should have worded that differently.
Stephen-Argyle win vs. LEM was also on the road in Langdon so 2 pretty good road wins for SA.

Would any team from Region 5 receive votes. When the new poll comes out Center-Stanton (12-2), Shiloh Christian (11-5), Underwood (11-4).

I know Center-Stanton has won 10 straight since starting (2-2). Out of these three teams I mentioned I would say Center-Stanton would be receiving votes.
Thanks.

1 vs 3 in Langdon today with Grafton @ L/E/M. L/E/M comes out on top. Believe the final was 8 pts. or so.

That's two big wins this week over ranked teams. I believe LEM has also won 13 or 14 in a row since starting the season with two early losses. Do they jump Kidder Co this week due to playing a much tougher schedule or do voters stick with the undefeated team?

I think Kidder goes to 1

Also think Kidder goes to 1. Although I still think Carrington is the team to beat in region 3.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Langdon jump Kidder County though...either one of those teams will #1 and the other should be #2 and I think Grafton will stay in #3 spot.

My top 10 would be this week:

1. Kidder County
2. Langdon-Edmore-Munich
3. Grafton
4. Thompson
5. Trenton
6. Kindred
7. Carrington
8. Four Winds-Minnewaukan
9. Velva
10. Hettinger-Scranton

Big Game on Monday in Carrington. Two top eight teams clash with #4 Thompson vs #8 Carrington. Which I see Thompson winning 55-50. I think Trenton is being overlooked by voters. I know they play in a weak region. I just think if you have an unbeaten record you should be ranked a lot higher. But I guess it goes by scheduling tough games and winning them. But anyways the Trenton Tigers are my sleeper pick to make it to the state tournament, and win the state title. And Center-Stanton is also playing well to winners of 14 straight.

I feel like Kidder County could go undefeated through the region tournament and not get the #1 seed. Their overall schedule has been weak. Top wins are Linton and Park Christian probably.
