High school basketball

[gfhockey]

I’m not the biggest high school basketball follower but I noticed the class is in Fargo. Why does Fargo get everything?

i’m used to seeing it in Bismarck

By the way, great first couple games with NorthStar. I love Ray’s nickname Ray J.

Bismarck had the AA Boys and Girls last weekend.

The B belongs in Bismarck permanently. State hockey belongs in GF permanently.

I was just looking at that the other day and realized Grand Forks hasn't hosted any of the state basketball tournaments for like 7-8 years somehow. They're rotating between Minot, Bismarck, Jamestown and Fargo now. Why or how did Grand Forks allow themselves to get cut out of the rotation? Especially given the fact that there are 6 basketball tournaments now instead of 4.

Worse yet, GF didn't even get to host any regional bball tournaments this year. Fargo of course did.

I fully understand that Fargo is by far the largest city, but many of these other cities have the facilities to support more of these events and offer a far better central location in most cases. Is the entire NDHSAA board NDSU alum or how did we get to this point of allowing the rich to get richer and not even attempting to spread the wealth around a little? 

FARGO/WF = 9 events

BISMARCK = 4 events

JAMESTOWN = 4 events

MINOT = 2 events

GRAND FORKS = 2 events

SOUTH HEART = 1 event

Minot has B boys and girls.  How did GF not get one of the tournaments?

Agreed. Or at least have the B rotate between Bismarck and Minot. Then A rotate between GF and Fargo.

And if we are going to continue rotating hockey between GF and Fargo then football should rotate between GF and Fargo too. Maybe even Wrestling should rotate between GF and Fargo someday too (maybe wrestling is a stretch since GF is not currently able to support it?) 

But it makes ZERO sense for golf, soccer, softball or class B anything to ever go to Fargo at this point given their location in the state and due to the fact they permanently own so many other state tournaments and host a swath of regionals as well. 

I'm not meaning to come off as anti-Fargo, but I would like to see NDHSAA at least ATTEMPT to spread things out a little more, as many of these other cities could use the boost whereas Fargo doesn't.

They havent had a single one since like 2017 if I recall. It makes zero sense.

Class A Softball was in Grand forks last year and is in Minot this year.  From what I've seen GF has the best Facility to host Softball.  Should be there at least every other year.  Should never be in Fargo at NDSU.  After I saw what NDSU charged for renting the field for the state tournament a few years ago someone should have lost their job.  Conditions of Albrecht Field being build required use for Youth teams at a very low cost.

Also Baseball was in GF last year and Minot this year.  I think most of the team SB and Baseball are in the same town.

Pretty soon Fargo will want the State Fair and State Capitol.

It's a clear conspiracy.

[Wilbur]

Anybody watch any of the B tournament in Minot today?  You had two Minot private schools playing, but other than that wondering how full the dome has been?

I think they had the B girls 5 or 6 years ago.

[gfhockey]

Per source when they made th 7 year rotation gf had an ad who since been forced out from the west and wanted the west to get a few tourneys

I live in the Red River Valley myself, but if we are talking about communities not getting state tournaments I'd say that Dickinson and Williston should be included in the conversation.      

[Wilbur]

Here you all go.  These are all the approved tournaments.

Hasn't American Legion baseball been in both recently?

I believe so, Williston  has hosted the Babe Ruth World Series a time or two.  They get barely anything when it comes to the NDHSAA other than class B districts and regions.

I flipped it over for a few minutes last night for the final game. Looked about 40-50% full on the bottom.
