Region 3

[baseball1981]

Anyone think this region might have the best teams- Midkota, Lakota, Harvey, Dakota Prairie- all solid teams. I think this region could very well be the hardest region in the state.

[power-aid14]

thats good news

[footballfanwatcher_99]

i think its region 2 with cv-h, hatton-nw, thompson, minto, is a much better and tougher region, and the best in the state.

I agree.  Any of those four teams could make a run at the state title if they get hot.  Region 2 is the toughest in the state almost every year.

who ever wins that region is always ranked 1st or 2nd

Lakotas beat Harvey and DP already

Lakota was for some reason ranked 4th in their region

[spoilers23]

how can anybody think region 4 is not the best? theyve had a team in the championship game every year for like the past 13 years or something

that is very impressive

[ricky bobby]

aren't we talkin about this year though and not the past....

[baseball1981]

excellent point, just because a team was good in past years, dosent mean they will be good this year or years to come

well grafton and langdon are top 6 in the state again this year..so i would classify that as this year

Lakotas beat Harvey and DP already

Lakota was for some reason ranked 4th in their region

i believe the rankings were 1. Harvey 2. Lakota 3. Midkota 4. Dp 5. Carrington 6. SNR 7. Kensal... and anyways i wouldnt worry too much about the regular season, regular season is just gettin ur team better for the regional tournaments, and thats where lakota has had some trouble in the past couple years

lakota struggles in the big games in the post season like you said, the games where midkota and dakota prairie are very good in, harvey is a team that usually struggles in the tournament too, but with the leadership they have, id think they wouldnt fold like they did last year, that was bad...

[tadam6]

i guess we'll just have to see when it comes tournament time...

exactly, and in hs baseball anything can happen, so any prediction as of now is kind of useless...

[baseball1981]

hows this region lookin so far?

[baseball1981]

i guess lorenz threw 3 innings today against carrington, 0 hits, 0 runs, 1 bb, 7 or 8 ks, 34 pitches, not too bad,

he was throwing hard and most of the carrington batters were afraid of it i think.  they needed a few more at bats each to get used to that much speed.  all he threw was his fast ball today and never really got to show what he can really do

Region 4 has never been as deep as Region 2 and isn't this year either.  Cavalier had an amazing run of athletes in those title years (look at what they did in football), and I won't discount their accomplishments.  That Grafton team lost by 20 or 21 runs to a Region 2 team (Thompson) in 2005, and last year Thompson got caught by an amazing pitching performance in the first round but only gave up 1 hit the rest of the tournament.
