Then would each team play each other in a home/home series throughout the year and would there be a regional tournament or just the top eight teams going to state?

I dont think their would be a home/home series for most east vs west games like....Bismarck will go to Grand forks one year and play 2 conf games then next year grand forks comes to bisarmck...im not to positive on that however.....for state tournament....the top 5 teams in the division will have their own tournament to place seedings at state and those top 5 teams all make it...the bottom 6 teams have their own tournament where the top 3 go to the state tournament.

where is the pride for any player from a class a town to play legion b? the pride is the fact that you are younger than almost all of the kids from the class b team that you are playing and actually giving them competition. younger kids playing legion b and having the oppertunity to do something, still on the state level is a big thing. a 'ship is a 'ship no matter legion a or legion b. dickinson had 3 sophs on the legion b team and the rest were freshmen last year and this year seems like it will be the same.[/quote]Willy wrote:
