How do you think it will turn out?

I think Carrington has chance to upset this region, but i think it will be Dakota Prairie going to state

From the boxes I've seen Simonson (Simonsen?) is solid on the mound, but I don't really know how much they have for arms past him? Any input?

Because of that unknown factor, seems like Dakota Prairie or possibly Lakota would seem to be favored because they seem to have a bit more depth pitching-wise.

Hewitt is pretty decent, but in a double elimination tournament you are going to need more then 2 pitchers. They should be able to save Simonsen for Lakota.

Teams get in trouble sometimes when they hold back their best pitcher in the first game. Teams need to make sure that they win their first game otherwise the tourney becomes almost impossible to win. However if a team can get through their first game with using their number two or even three pitcher it allows for them to have a better chance of winning that next game. So, if a team is willing to take the chance it is high risk high reward.

yeah Carrington just got beat by a pretty decent pitcher today in region play in NR against Sheldon Harding Carrington couldn't get bats going for them lost 7-3 . Carrington beat them last time they played 21-2 Simonsen had to come in middle 5th inning to relieve Lura Carrington will play loser of Dakota Prairie New Rockford game Carringtons to Bahm boys didn't play 2 there better players so we will see how the tourney turns out

Rick Christianson's crew pulls back-to-back upsets at the Region 3 tournament, beating Carrington and Lakota. Does Midkota have a chance against Dakota Prairie or did the Mustangs just make it easier for the Knights to go to state?
