Week 1- What to Watch
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2022 12:12 pmWow, there are some big week 1 matchups slated for 11B this week!
Langdon vs. Bishop Ryan @ Minot State
Midco has Langdon ranked #2 in their pre-season poll and Ryan is #5. This should be an excellent way to kick off the 2022 season for these two teams looking for an early season test.
Lisbon @ Kindred
A big Region 1 matchup with #1 Kindred looking to defend their state championship by taking on one of the best teams in their region right off the bat.
Ray/Powers Lake @ Shiloh
These could be two teams that are scrapping to make this year's playoff field. R/PL is coming up from 9-man where they have been a playoff team for many years and return one of the top players from 9-man last season in the Enget kid. Shiloh is a perennial playoff team as well. Good week 1 test for both teams.
Dickinson Trinity @ Des Lacs/Burlington
Trinity and DLB are both traditionally good FB teams year in and year out. Both should be in the thick of things to earn playoff spots in their respective regions in 2022.
Grafton @ Thompson
This is a big region 2 matchup on week 1 that could have playoff implications for both teams down the line.
