Well, I'm the type of guy,who likes to roam around,I'm never in one place,I roam from town to town.

Hunter Berg, on an radio interview, blamed the decline in basketball quality in the state on video games and other electronic distractions. He used to dribble a basketball to the store to get groceries when he was a kid. If there was more than one bag he made two trips.

It's called the reservation farm system.

In 2007 Parshall won the B. Rainbow Goodbear played a key role at the end of the championship game to secure the title for Parshall. (The Packineau brothers and Rudy Youngbird were Parshalls horses) Minot Ryan was also in the tournament. Rainbow Goodbear was in the tournament book team photo for both Parshall and Minot Ryan. He started the year at Ryan and transferred to Parshall later in the season. How does that work?

This thread is getting back on the tracks, KNOCK IT OFF!

Legend of Archambault Thursday, March 10, 2011 Countless youngsters, farm kids and city kids alike, have dreamed of playing in the North Dakota high school basketball tournament since it began in 1914. The Class B tourney gets the most attention, because small towns gain the limelight. However, the Class A, large-school, boys basketball tournament has also had dramatic championship games. One of those came on this date in 1973, when Fort Yates captured the Class A boys basketball title, defeating Minot in triple overtime. This championship game created the legend of Wyman Archambault. Archambault was a “5-foot-10 jumping jack” with lightning quickness at the guard position. Fort Yates also featured center Darrell Eaglestaff, a six-foot-four scoring machine. Fort Yates reached the championship game despite having the smallest enrollment in Class A. It had never been the Class A champion. The Minot Magicians by contrast had won ten state titles, the most in history. Minot had last won in 1971, when then-sophomore Wayne Whitty scored at the buzzer to defeat Jamestown. Against Fort Yates, Whitty, now a senior mainstay, was weakened by a sprained ankle and the flu. Fort Yates started out nervously and trailed 18 to 13 after one quarter. Their nerves steadied and the score evened at halftime, 32 all. Wyman Archambault scored only two first-half points. Minot played a solid second half and led by eight with only 43 seconds to go. That’s when Wyman Archambault stepped up his game. He made two free throws with 42 seconds left; then a teammate intercepted a pass and scored with :28 seconds remaining; then Fort Yates stole another pass and scored with :21 seconds left. Minot then turned the ball over again, and Fort Yates had the ball at mid-court. With just two seconds left on the clock, Archambault ran to the left side near the top of the key, caught the inbounds pass and launched a turn-around shot that arced up high, “apparently off-course,” but it banked in off the backboard at the buzzer to tie the game at 68. In overtime, the Fort Yates crowd chanted, “Archambault . . . Archambault . . . Archambault, and the senior sparkplug responded, making four points at critical times during the three overtimes. In the end, Fort Yates won by one point, 79 to 78, making the Standing Rock Reservation team the smallest school to become Class A champs.

Fort Yates 79-Minot 78, 3 OT's, 1973.

Fort Yates came back from a huge deficit with little time remaining,Wyman Archambault? right? Remember no 3 pointer then. I'd have to look up the details but it was a barnburner, Adelson was going nuts. Alas, I was just a boy, but I remember it well.

Anyone remember the Minot High-Fort Yates championship game in '72? Jim Adelson- "Katie bar the door and Momma get the throat spray, Fort Yates is comin home!"

Siouxcool,what can we expect for weather down there?

So don't bring her with!

As long as we're off the tracks, might as well put er in the ditch! So we're at the game Sat. night, end of regulation going to OT, and people get up and leave! And they don't come back! Question: WHY DID THEY COME?!?!?

Well?

ND Class B basketball will never be the same. Too few small schools left,too many alphabet soup schools,too many private schools. Tournament is a list of the usual suspects every year. Plus quality of ball has taken a dramatic downturn. I blame 3 point line,girls and boys season running concurrently,internet,cell phones,cable TV,indoor plumbing......blah,blah,blah.

I lost something at a keg party once too.

With Kevin Biermann and Henry Milkey!

I believe Tony Bina played golf in Newburg.

Ahhh,the big red-head. While Newburg was no Epping it was a very small school.

I'm just as guilty as anyone. I'd rather discuss basketball and golf and maybe even HOCKEY than firing Hak.

Nope,not a golfer. I believe this thread may have gone off the tracks.

Jeeeezz.....you people are brutal! Katie's a sweety!
