Oxbow6 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 In depth sideline reporting from the "B" by Wilbur's dad...no wait report was from my dad...Oak Grove was up 20 but Flasher fought back and had a look from 3 to win it at the end. Oak Grove wins game one by 2. Quote
choyt3 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Region 4...correct. I played shortly after they transitioned away from the peach baskets! I know you aren't a lot older than me. We played Grace City and Kensal regularly, but that was about as far west as we went. Only "big" guy I really remember around my age was Lon Waggoner. Quote

Only "big" guy I really remember around my age was Lon Waggoner. He is my cousin...and I'm a few years older. Lon's dad, Ron, is still in record books playing at New Town and NDSU. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Linton beats Cavalier by 2. I was able to watch the 4th quarter. Easily the worst stretch of BB I have seen played in a "B". Horrible BB. Cavalier missed 7 or 8 shots from 4' or less in the quarter and Linton missed 5 or 6 FTs to ice it...then toss in TO after TO. BRUTAL!! The less crappy team pulled it out. So to recap: Linton>>Cavalier>>Grafton>>good share of Class A teams! Quote

UND92,96 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I had to leave after the third quarter, and was shocked to hear that Linton had won. I thought that in terms of athleticism and strength, Cavalier looked vastly superior (Linton players looked really scrawny and they struggled on the boards), but in the first half Linton's hot shooting kept them pretty much even. I expected Cavalier would win going away after they seemed to take control in the third quarter. Quote
chicagolandsioux Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 True 'dat! It's absolutely absurd that the girls are wasting their time in front of 500-2,000 fans in the Xcel Energy Center. Common sense would tell you that that tournament would have more success and be a lot more "alive" in a smaller venue. But, good old Minnesota..."well if the boys have it there, the girls have to have it there too..." If it had not been for some parents suing it would still be at the Ridder. Quote
chicagolandsioux Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 So we are all in contention that the B belongs in either Minot or Bismarck. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 So we are all in contention that the B belongs in either Minot or Bismarck. Wasn't 1986 the first year the tourney was held in Minot? Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Wasn't 1986 the first year the tourney was held in Minot? Believe that is correct. Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I actually think the boys B tourney should be rotated between GF, Fargo, Bismarck, and Minot so that each big city gets it every 4 years. Girls B basketball and volleyball should always be in Bismarck foe the central location IMO...... Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Believe that is correct. I seem to remember lots of naysayers talking about how horrible it was to have the tournament there. I thought it was incredible. Great site for the B tournament. Quote
chicagolandsioux Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Fort Yates made the A tourney in '69, '70, '71, and '73. From where you found this is there a list of players available? I can remember watching this as a kid. Quote
gfhockey Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 heard that ESPN has asked for footage of the 3/4 shot during the rugby game Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I seem to remember lots of naysayers talking about how horrible it was to have the tournament there. I thought it was incredible. Great site for the B tournament. That week had temps in the high 50s to low 60s. Great crowds and weather. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 The middle child syndrome. There really are not enough big little/small big schools to have a third class is there? As for Trinity what is their point? Really how fun can it be to win a rigged game? One thing that might make a difference is to not allow athletes to get any financial assistance. That should go for all private schools. If you can't pay the tuition on your own you can't play. It would be interesting to compare how private schools that give financial aid do in sports to private schools that don 't? This is not fair. Lots of kids get some sort of assistance... And now you want to tell their family that "you can come here... But if you can't pay that last grand on your own.... Jimmy can't play sports." North Dakota private schools recruit a lot less than people think. Quote

runaroundsioux Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Great to hear Sweeney. We miss you Pat! Quote
Wilbur Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Any actual game updates? Nanne and Thorne.....the way it should be... Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Nanne and Thorne.....the way it should be... They're doing the ND Class B basketball games too? Quote
