North Dakota Preps

Lets hear your thoughts on Region 1 this year

1A. Central Cass (take your pick with the top two teams in this region)
1B. Kindred-Richland
3. Enderlin-Maple Valley
4. Northern Cass
5. Lamoure
6. FSHP
7. Hankinson/Fairmount (new team to the region dont know much about them)

I think Central Cass and Kindred-Richland might be the two best teams in the state.

Hankinson/Fairmount used to be in the region then for a handul of years didn't have a team. This being there first year back you can't expect too much, but you never know. But yes this region is going to come down to CC and K/R. E/MV could make a run, but the top teams are really really good. Both teams have a good chance of performing very well at state. Of course they have to win the region first.

Any teams in the region play each other yet?

i think Region play starts April 10th for the teams i know Central Cass plays Kindred-Richland on that day.

Northern Cass plays two seven inning games against Hankinson-Fairmount today.

they were both region

Northern Cass swept Hankinson/Fairmount handedly
FSHP split with Enderlin/Maple Valley winning the region counter game 7-2
Kindred won the counter on walk off bomb to win 2-0

LaMoure was looking pretty good beating Enderlin Maple/Valley 7-2 in the Region then 5-2 in the Non-Region.
Mieklejohn and the Younger Thielges both got wins

Kindred won the region counter Monday vs. FSHP 1-0......Very Good pitching performances that game on both sides.

LaMoure beat CC 4-3 in the Region game
Stemen had 8 K's
Bresnahan came in in the 7th and gave up the game winning run to Stemen on a walk

Just one game i saw was Lamoure beat Northern Cass Thursday and Central Cass and Kindred/Richland were rained out on Friday.

i think lamoure will win this one. IMO

Will win what? The region?

5 posts and they are mostly about Lamoure, and asking about 8th graders, mentioning Lamoure

Ok i c what you mean....Peoples thoughts now of who will go to state out of this region...the top 3 contenders? And who is the team with the upperhand and why?

Who did kindred/richland lose from last years team? I'm drawing a blank right now.

They lost their right fielder, and lost their cather Van Horn who was there 4 batter and a very solid player...other than that nothing....they stuggle to put up runs and rely on defense and pitching which some games can be sketchy. The big hitting teams in the region are Northern Cass, Casselton, FSHP....They all have good pitching. Kindred just isnt the team they were last year

They are only going to win the games that Milbrandt pitches in my opinion, their next two guy just aren't going to cut it against good hitting teams like CC, NC and FSHP.

Its hard to decide, definitely going to be some close games in regionals.

Agree....Dahlgren has shut down FSHP twice...but in 13 innings has only struck out 3 batters....once those hits find the gap the game can be blown open...Totally agree they are going to win the game Milbrant throws...Like you said CC, NC, and FSHP will rock any other pitcher they have
