There is no question they are ballers. They will be traveling for tourneys in the next 2 weeks following the B. And will be on the road after that nonstop until next bb season starts. Have been following them for many years. The Smith's are great coaches and demand discipline. They have done a great job with the team. Won't get into an argument about their enrollment but they are by far the biggest in Region 4 and nobody will touch them for years in the region. Basketball drives their school. No showing in football. Just being honest. Unfortunate they don't get the same showing for the other sports.
not arguing either.....but I have one question as to how there enrollment helps
why has it been he same players on this 4 year run? and when you look at the team I don't see 6'9" 6'6"
I don't see weight room, football recruits and I would go on to say if any were cut they couldn't make a lot of teams starting 5 varsity in all of class B....like I have said, the difference is their passion for the "one" sport...Its been known from the Crow of Wyoming, to the Ojibway of Cass Lake and Red Lake MN and the 3 affiliated of New Town, parshall, manderie, the turtle mountain area (Belcourt, dunseith, st. john) french Metis, Chippewa that there is sacredness in a Basketball gym or on an outside hoop....so that IMO is their driver not advantage .....and I hope the 3 class thing isn't coming down the pipe just because of FW's 4 year run....but I would believe that if the talk all come out right in the midst of the "B" that it plays a 75% part over everything including privates......Congrates to The Indians and to Jason Feather....his dad is smiling down on them and him today!
