DLB still around

Berthold is now called Lewis & Clark-Berthold

Surrey, Sawyer, and Velva still the same

Granville is now TGU (Towner-Granville-Upham)

Deering, I have no idea what happened to them....they were on their way out when I was in school...

Flashback: Minot Auditorium, 1984...in a clash of two powerhouses, the DLB Lakers defeat Berthold 55-44 to win the Boys Hoops title for District 22.

Towner Cardinals? Didn't they make an appearance in the state tournament in the 1980's somewhere?

This brings back some good memories - thanks for sharing! As a kid, I remember those District 29, 30, 31, 32 tournaments at Scott Gymnasium on the campus of Dickinson State. The place was packed and my ears would ring for hours when I was back home in my bed. Golva vs. New England St. Marys - good times.

I used to attend basketball camps all the time with the Schmitz boys from Golva - Jeremy and Jason. You couldn't help but cheer for those guys.

Wasn't somebody the Flashers? A smaller class B out west I think? Mascots could get creative with that one.

I think you mean the town of Flasher, which is the Bulldogs.

The University of North Dakota Storm Kings...I like it. The problem is, you'd also need to be the University of North Dakota Storm Queens, so that nickname will never work.

thanks Mafia....i knew it didn't sound quite right...lol. Anyway, I still like it. How about Potato Skins? or would that be too controversial?

I was in a food fight once and got hit in the eye with a potato...now I wear a glass eye. I would be traumatized by such a nickname...heck, I break out in a cold sweat just driving by the Simplot plant. It's a good suggestion, but I think it'll be shot down by the nickname committee.

Also on the great nickname list: The Kenmare Honkers and the Bowbells Eskimos (who are now known as the Burke County Titans?).

Many, many decades ago when Ayr, ND still had a school their were the Ayr Rifles. That's class.

Hebron Brickmakers was also one that gets some props. Of course, when they had a woeful night shooting from the perimeter they were the "bricklayers" to opposing fans.

Did you grow up in that area, GoalieMask?

Brickmakers was an awesome nickname.
