HAVE TO MATCH THEIR DEFENSIVE INTENSITY AND MUST PRODUCE SOME OFFENSIVE CONSISTENCY

Bismarck will not lose to them in the WDA, guartanteed. Miller will not let it happen and neither will Esley, Jake, Jaylen, and Nick in the there senior years. They are all great competitors and I truely believe they will take state this year.

I think you all vastly underestimate the EDC. Right now, from the recent games I have watched, Mandan is the best team in the WDA. There is a lot of time until state. If Mandan's shooters continue their hot streak, they will not lose. Flaa, Eisenbeis, Coyle, and Friesz are something like 16-22 from 3 in the last 2 games.
Mandan's biggest advantage over Bismarck is Kielpinski. BHS has no true go to scorer right now, because Finley has been struggling, and Esley is an all around player, not the type to take over offensively, in most cases, where Kielpinski has seemingly been able to do whatever he has wanted to for a long stretch.
Time will tell though.
