I was wondering if I'M only one seeing this but girls basketball is showing glowing detail between the large schools and smaller school in this state tournament especially this year. Were going to have two of largest class b schools in the state playing for the championship. The only small school in nightly championship round is Wilton/wing and it beat another of smaller class b schools to get in this side of the tournament. I guess I am only one who has problem with this and its why I haven't watched much of tournament just wondering if anyone else feeling this way .

If we’re going to lament Grafton vs Central Cass for the title, we have to at least acknowledge that all the private schools got eliminated prior to regional championship night this year on the girls’ side.
The west half of the state was represented by Wilton-Wing, Glenburn, Hettinger-Scranton, and Kenmare. There’s not a Goliath in that bunch.
The best basketball was played in the East this year. (Add Kindred and Thompson to the conversation).

But I’ll say this… The east has all the makings of a nice enrollment-based middle class (Devils Lake, Wahpeton, Valley City, Central Cass, Kindred, Grafton and a couple more). There just is no counterpart for it in the west. There’s Watford City (whose girls will play Century for the WDA title today) but there aren’t 6-8 more schools out west of that same size (HS enrollment 250-600).

FYI Wilton is in McLean County. Wing Burliegh. County line is north side of Cenex.
