I think the games were scheduled after the teams scrimmaged at the DSU team camp and the coaches started talking... Malta was a pretty big power in Montana at the time if I remember correctly... might have even won a state title... Not entirely sure...

it would be a step down IMO because IMO being a bad class a team is better than winning state b
so what do you think was more exciting for devils lake.... there 2006 season where they 1-9 only beating shanley... or there 2007 season where they made it all the way to the state title game and got a chance to play in the fargo dome????
ah i bet beating shanley was exciting..........winning b means nothing
Means nothing huh? I completely agree, you lose all credibility making a statement like that... very arrogant and not very intelligent if you ask me... Gatorade Player of the Year has come from AA teams and schools in the past... but the people who voted on that were probably just on drugs those years? Because anyone with intelligence would never vote for an inferior AA player...I suppose you also believe that the Mon-Dak team should never have anyone on it from below AAA... Just to name a few of these inferior players...Jared Essler (2000), Kyle Steffes (2002), and Andy Delabarre (2002) all started three plus years for the Bison.... do I need to go on? all of these guys played at the AA level and turned out much better on the college level then their AAA counterparts... The only AAA guy to come out better then them in their years was Eslinger who went to Minnesota...

Personally, I'd like to see the facts as well, as I have kept up with the Dickinson schools over the years, and I honestly don't remember this. Up until this year, Dickinson High has played 2 EDC teams for their non-conference games for a very long time. I will have to see if I can dig out some older schedules.
Too bad the high schools don't put this kind of history on their web sites.

Ummmm.....the name Tyler Roehl ring a bell, or how about Brian McNeil out of Nebraska Omaha. Maybe Brooks Bollinger is inferior as well. Do I need to go on?

Also, I don't think Wahp should make the drop. They're doing very well, in my opinion.

Class AAA might start running out of teams pretty soon if this keeps up. In order to make up for the games that are lost, who are the remaining teams going to play? Will some of them play each other twice? I don't think there are that many bordering Minnesota/South Dakota teams that can take up the slack. Playoff time won't be very interesting. It will just be the same 8 teams playing each other all over again.

but if you look at that the west region teams would only have 5 conference game during the season... do you really think that coaches are going to want only 5 conference games???
