SO I decided to look into the history books and break state champs down by region since 1980. If somebody wants go back farther, be my guest. But I thought this was a good timeframe to start with and see which regions have won in which of the past 40 years. This is based on where the 8 regions sit today so some of the teams may have been in different regions when they won but I thought it easiest to do it this way. Anyways, here is the breakdown.
Region 1- 3 total championships since 1980
Oak Grove x2 (2000,2014)
Milnor (2013)
Region 2- 13 total championships since 1980
Hillsboro/Central Valley x3 (1981,2017,2018) (81' as just Hillsboro)
May-Port-C-G x5 (1987,1996,1997,2002,2003) (87' and 96' as just Mayville-Portland)
Edinburg (1988)
Central Valley (1993)
North Border (2001)
Grafton (2008)
Thompson (2019)
Region 3- 6 total championships since 1980
Linton x3 (1984,1985,2009)
Edgeley (1990)
Carrington x2 (1995, 2010)
Region 4- 6 total championships since 1980
Bisbee-Egeland (1989)
Munich (1992)
Leeds (1999)
New Rockford-Sheyenne (2005)
North Star (2011)
Four WInds/Minnewauken (2016)
Region 5- 1 total championship since 1980
Standing Rock (1998)
Region 6- 3 total championships since 1980
Newburg (1986)
Bishop Ryan (1994)
Rugby (2015)
Region 7- 4 total championships since 1980
Hettinger (1983)
Dickinson Trinity x2 (2004, 2006)
Beulah (2012)
Region 8- 4 total championships since 1980
New Town (1980)
Divide County (1982)
Watford City (1991)
Parshall (2007)
So in order it goes
Region 2- 13
Regions 3 and 4- 6 each
Regions 7 and 8- 4 each
Regions 1 and 6- 3 each
Region 5- 1
And obviously either region 1 or 3 will add 1 to their total tomorrow!
