St. Mary's has struggled to score goals and Red River may have some jump being the host and no in the tournament a year ago.
In the end the only three teams I can see good enough to win the whole thing are South, Century, and North.
SM started the season awfully slow, but that's typical with a young team. Game by game they got better and better and their last few games of the season they were very impressive upsetting Century and putting up a 7 spot against Minot. Plus, they beat Red River at the east-west classic.
I'll take South over BHS, Century over whoever they play, North over JTown, and SM over Red River. Then Century over North and expect SM to play South tough the whole way but South will pull away at the end. And in the ship I'll take South over Century.
i think that it will end up being north and south fighting in the end, and if north wants revenge for the game the lost to south in which they got a goal take away from them, they had an own goal, and a PK that shouldnt have been a PK... and they want a win instead of a tie, in that game they also got a goal taken away beacuse of a poor call, it was a 50-50 ball between johnson and the goalie johnson got the ball and scored but it was called of -- because of the those games i think north will want the win bad and will do whatever it takes to get in the championship game against south and if they want it bad enough they could pull it off--- north went into state with the number 2 seed the last 2 years, both years ending up in the championship and winning it last year...
so this is how i think it will end up ...
Bismarck Century over Fargo Shanley
Bismarck St. Mary's *this could go either way* GF Red River (No. 3 East), 4 p.m.
--- the GF fields are VERY windy and since GF practices in the wind all the time they might get an advantage in that way
Fargo North over Jamestown
Fargo South over Bismarck High
then south win will the game they play in
and it will be a good game between north and centry but north will come with a win in that game
north and south in the championship and then everything i said up there will apply to who comes out with that game
