Region 3 has had some really good volleyball teams and players the past few years. This year will be a little less competitive as teams lost a lot to graduation last season. I expect Oakes and Carrington to be among the best few teams in the state again this season.
Carrington will have the best all around team IMO. Oakes could arguably have the best setter and hitter in the state B with Hansen and Schmitz at just a sophomore and junior. Lamoure is Lamoure they will compete with anyone and have the drive to beat teams, they always find a way to win. Their backrow play is a difference maker. I think Barnes County North will be much more competitive this year with two nice hitters at a sophomore and senior, Mcfadgen and Weiland. Moser from MPB will need carry a heavy load this year. Linton should be a much improved team as well. I don't see anyone at the same calibre as Carrington , Oakes Lamoure as of now and it will come down to the back row play who prevails.
