CHS getting a vote is funny. They have had a pretty soft WDA schedule so far. The WDA is definately down this year, lots a teams are going to be around the .500 mark. It's nice to see the East teams in the poll for a change.

The east has some very good teams this year. Lots of talent on GFRR, Shanley & Davies.

St. Mary's showed Shanley how soft the WDA schedule is.

Agreed with scoobyx2. How is the WDA down?

Century's lone in state loss is to Saint Mary's, who is loaded offensively, and blew Shanley out.
Saint Mary's lone loss is to Bismarck.
Bismarck lone in state loss is to Minot, and they blew Saint Mary's out.
Minot's lone in state loss is to Red River, who is undefeated.
Shanley's lone loss is to Saint Mary's.

There have been no other significant cross matches.

Outside of Red River, West Fargo, and Wahpeton, I have not been overly impressed with any of the EDC teams defensively, at this point in the season, and again, I have watched every Class A team in North Dakota play at least once. It will be interesting to see what happens when the tournaments begin to take place. The EDC teams, in general, have a lot of individual star power, with teams usually having 1 or 2 guys averaging between 16-26 points, while the WDA is, for the most part, a completely different style of basketball predicated on defense. Obviously, Saint Mary's plays a bit like an EDC team and West Fargo plays a bit like a WDA team, but in general, this holds true. This may truly be a year where we see whether having one or two studs, like a Fargo Davies or a Fargo Shanley, will beat a team with seven or eight really solid guys, like a Bismarck, Minot, or a Century.

CHS wins come against teams with a combined 2 and 9 record, including 2 winless teams. I see that as a soft schedule so far. Just my opinion. I know they played SMCHS tough.

I wonder how Shanley can still be number 2 if they would look at common opponents. Earlier this season,
Shanley lost to Saint mary's by 16 points. Minot just beat saint mary's. jmo

Personally, I think it should go Red River, Century, Saint Mary's, Shanley, Minot. Red River is the only undefeated team remaining. Century has the best win, beating Minot on the road. Saint Mary's handled Shanley fairly easily when they played, with no home losses. Shanley has a loss to Red River and to Saint Mary's, with no wins over any ranked team. Minot has no signature win, as they haven't had a huge road win.

I don't consider that a huge win, as I think BHS is fairly average this season. I actually don't think they've been ranked since the original poll.

My bad. I got the two mixed up, but it was still by 19 points. And they only beat the AVERAGE TEAM by 2 at home.
