I believe 5 and those were all in the last few years...

1999 they were 4-5

2001 they were 2-7

2002 they were 4-5

2003 they were 1-8

2004 they were 4-5

Five tough years but the program is definately on the rise! That was 30 losses in those five seasons, but you gotta consider Coach Fridley has only around 80 losses or so in his whole career along with around 260 victories and 8 state titles.

I watch a lot of games. Last years champion was Watford City, their Coach has been there for many years and is considered an excellent coach. The last couple of years the team did very well. What about the years before that? It must have been the coach's fault.

If you are saying that the losing seasons that Watford had the a few years ago was Coach Fridley's fault you are so wrong!!

No he was not blaming coach Fridley he was simply trying to make a point to me.

Thanks for proving my point. Coach Fridley is an excellent coach, but by the end of the 2004 season, people thought he was washed up and wanted him out. It was not his coaching that was to blame, they just did not have the athletes to compete in AA.

trinity vs. DL well probably be a very good game. My guess would be Lisbon over VC and hazen beating carrington.

DL vs. Trinity will be a very interesting game. DL has a lot of returning experience and a lot to live up to with the move, and Trinity has to prove they can come back after losing so much, and prove they are still a good team. but at the end, it wont really matter, since the only thing that counts is the conference record. but i sure will give us something to talk to us.

and why would VC play Lisbon? didnt Lisbon go to single A

that actually doesn't matter that because they are still 11 man, plus a couple AA teams play A teams every year

Killdeer vs Watford City, Killdeer vs Trinity(up until a couple years ago), Ryan vs Velva

AA and A play a lot of times the first game. Trying to keep the rivalrys lost when the 11 man teams were split up. Rugby plays Harvey, always a great game! Trinity and DL will be interesting.
