I dont think it is a disgrace, congrats to Valley City for not just laying down after losing all of those games, that team is made up of a bunch of 16 yr olds, i believe they have 1 or 2 18 year olds, they rest are 16 and under, with no experience, i wouldnt call a a bunch a kkids working hard through a tough season a disgrace.

I think it just proves that other teams were taking them lightly and they came a showed up to play, CONGRATS
I totally agree. To get to class B state you have to WIN your sectional tournament. If you go through the winners bracket that means during the course of one year you have to win at minimum 4 games. Losers bracket would be about 6 or 7. That is with NO wins in the regular season and possibly pulling off the biggest upset in class B history over the one seed in your section. So basically a Killdeer (having no wins in their program ever(no disrespect to them)) beating Beulah, Washburn, Dickinson and then Washburn again. But in class A if you lose every game... lose your first game of WDA, then win the next, your in. If you play Class B and take second in your section tournament... having a fantastic year, that could possibly make you sick.rep wrote:Ditka14 wrote:baseball4 wrote:I think it's a disgrace.

i think it proves why a lot of people can't stand class a sports in north dakota.

Facts are, class A usually has the better athletes and the more complete teams...but it is stuff like this which make class A so....unspecial? State tournament time is here and you have 7 of the best Class A teams in the state and a Class A team which couldnt beat 80% of class B teams and they are there because they won a game over a lousy whapeton team which could maybe beat 50% of class B teams.....I think its great for a team to go 0-40 and make it to state after winning one game.....not! The worst part is knowing that this team has no shot at state.....this team will be overlooked by their opening round opponent and still get 10 runned....this definately wont be a cinderella story by any means....Sorry but if you go to state i can almost guaruntee this will be one of those games where all the Valley City fans will be so supportive and then 5 minutes later there will be crickets as Valley City will be lucky to not lose by 20....im sorry class A but i myself am embarrassed to be playing in a tourney that is supposed to feature the best teams in the state(assuming class A teams who advance to state are better than any class B team)and having scouts there to see the fiasco that will happen in game one...Class B to me sounds a lot more interesting from surferdan's post and to hear the story on Valley City and how a Class A bracket could possibly help you if you lost your first game i would be discouraged on all the class A hype...
nevertheless good luck valley city....i hope u can manage to play 9 full innings
