North Dakota Preps

Yeah I was wonderin if there was any schools that have good basketball, football, track, & cross country programs?? Who has the most state titles in these categories???

Trinity, Linton...

Trinity
I think Lisbon has had a good run of things.
Bowman is a successful school
Bottineau is crappy at football but is usually okay in other things.
Watford City
Velva is usually competative in that region

Look at what Lisbon has done so far this year:
5 region championships
2nd in state in FB
2nd in state in VB
3rd in state in CC
1st in state dual/individual wrestling
Recently won boys state indoor track and field
Should win region in boys track and possibly girls.

That would add up to 7 region championships in one school year.

Congrats to coaches and athletes from Lisbon!

A class B town that has a profile this good is going to be able to draw in the teachers and coaches and also have some kids to work with, with that said they do an excellent job, have done business in lisbon and its a happen en community with great people, Hats off!!

Bowman has the most XC titles...they have been very successful in track as well, and also Speech (if we are calling that a sport, haha)

Grafton has had or is in the middle of a wonderful season. Hockey won state, boys bb won state, girls should have been there, baseball is preseason #1, XC won state last year and is expected to do well again, and I am sure their track team will be competetive. Let the class A discussion begin!!! haha

Speech is considered a Fine Art, so I don't think it should be considered a sport. If that were the case Bowman would have the most state championships ever. It just wouldn't be fair.

I'd Agree Grafton has had it all this year.. they are a very succesfull school and the one thing i think you forgot about is how good of a record their football team had this season.. granted they didnt have the hardest games to play but the still had a good record.. so to sum it up my vote for school with it all would be Grafton

that crew made state babe ruth too...cant remember if they won or not but theyve been to their share of state tourneys

If I remember right they lost in the championship

OK, I will add Class A to this list....
Fargo South - State Champs in Football, Volleyball, Girls Track, EDC Champs in Girls Basketball, State runnerup in boys basketball, State Champs almost every year in Boys Golf, EDC Champs in Boys swimming, EDC Champs this past week in both girls and boys track... State power in both girls and boys Soccer, State contender every year in Boys Hockey, State Runnerup in Wrestling. This covers about every sport offered except tennis which is dominated by GF Red River. Name me another Class A school that has a better all around athletic program than Fargo South?? I cant. Please dont say "You should win with 1600 students" 117 State Championships and counting!!

That is very impressive, Whats the secret??

Here is the secret, a HS school which has 3 colleges within a short distance and the fact that the city is sports crazy. Add the 1600 kids and you have fierce competition for a limited number of spots and even less actual playing time.

maybe they should split that up into 3 varsity team?? and whats the colleges have to do with anything? every school has a gym, all you have to do is get in it

Yah right? tell the Twin Cities teams like Eden Prairie with 2500 students to have 4 varsity teams in every sport. of the 1600 students at South there are probably 1000 that dont participate in activites by choice not because they dont get the opportunity or get CUT! its because they work or just dont like sports... also because its a large school there are more choices than just Football, basketball and track.

I'm going to add BHS to this topic.. very dominate in XC( state champs this year) Football were pretty good, state champ and runner up boy and girls basketball, most likely to win boys state track and girlsa should be very good also..
