North Dakota Preps

the riders saw el segundo's top 2 guys on the mound and durango's ace. as for coon rapids, i am not sure since i wasnt there. they have seen guys that throw hard and are good. does anyone know if the gopher classic is a wood bat or aluminum? if its wood, they will have some of the best bats going back to aluminum due to hitting with wood for 3 weeks plus. going into the jabolonsky tourney and back to whapeton, they out scored their opponents 84-6. they even lost one of those games. from whapeton to jamestown they outscored their opponents 157-33(includes jabo, not the newhouse). i think that is hot bats and good pitching/defense. if its not you tell me exactly what its called

then they 9 bombs in a dblheader thought that was very interesting too

its been pointed out that it was against one of the weakest teams in the state plus a 30+ mph wind to the outfield.

i believe they beat minot

And nobody else (1-9 in league). Just curious, how did Jamestown beat Minot?

I didn't know this was a Dickinson love fest thread. But in all honesty, I think the state championship will be between Dickinson, Fargo, and Minot, with Dickinson and Fargo duking it out for the ND slot at the Central Plains tourney in Minot.

L 1-4 Minot Jamestown look at their schedule at minots baseball website

The last time I checked, you don't win state championships for American Legion baseball in June or July, you win them in August. This isn't the first time a Dickinson team has had a great regular season but let's just wait to see what happens when it really counts. I don't think the Riders have ever won the Lgion state title, and I think they have only been in the championship game what two times? So let's not crown them the best team in the nation for 2008 just yet.
