North Dakota Preps

Just thought I'd say good job bois,keep it up and work hard.

i gotta say something about Tony Ironheart here........the first round he didnt impress me one bit.  i didnt see the game on Friday, but the final game he was notihng short of amazing,  the second half he jsut seemed to take the game over, scoring arond 20 or so along with assists, steals, rebounds, everything.  If i ever said he was underrated i was mistaken, he proved it today GREAT PLAYER AND DESERVES EVERYTHING SAID ABOUT HIM. congrats on a great season and career with back 2 back state trips.

bcn playing at state and bcn that played in the district and region tourneys are just not comparable. in districts and regions barlett played out of his mind (for example the six threes he hit in the district championship).

That didn't turn out so good for BCN this weekend.  They were clearly the least
threatening team in this tournament but hey, you have to give them there due they won when it counted to get there.  I wasn't expecting them to do much damage in this tournament as I think and most people will agree that they peaked at regionals and seemed to be the "happy to be there" team of the tournament.  I am still standing by my opinion that they would not make it out of District 4.

I agree 100%

Four Winds is way too good of a team to get pounded this year.  Last year they were in a kind of "just happy to be here" type of thing.  This year is a whole different story, they're looking to bring home the state B championship.

I agree with you, they had a team that never experience State, the last time they did it was like in the 49s or 50s.  So I think they have that under the belt this year, they have been there, that goes for the coaches too!  I mean, this year they are prepared and have a game plan!  I am picking FW in a blow out! 

For all the hype and smack talk of that game--Yes, it was a blowout all right.  I am predicting we may never hear from IA again.  Although to keep ND Preps going for at least another year...I hope we do.

Didn't win the title but still am extremely proud of the boys!  Thanks for another excellent year and don't be surprised if we are back in Bis next year.  Hats off to the Parshall braves!!  GO INDIANS!!

tony ironheart is the man

that is true.. pack brothers are twice the players i ever expected them to be

I just have to tell you what i saw this weekend from Tony Ironheart......In the first game he didnt really "show up", I feel this was because he had trouble adjusting to the rims (nothing behind them), the second game he played very very well, a couple of nice passes, hit a couple of big shots, game wasnt close....but that was to be expected....and then yesterday he showed my why he get's all the hype he has gotten on here......WOW.....he truly is one of a kind.....I've only seen a handful of players that are that good, and that unselfish.....he NEVER looked just for himself.....he always wanted to set up his teammates......and of course when his team needed a big shot, he hit it......thank you tony ironheart for living up to the hype.

I wouldn't say live up the hype on this website the only way was to avg. 40 10 and 10 the way they talked about him...a good defense took him out of what he liked to do the 2nd game yea I don't think anyone will hold that against him but in his last game hes very good but the way both of the packineau's played against the same defense I'd have to say they are both better

All you braves fans can be mad but IH is way better than the twins. Classy guy excellent basketball player, good team leader. The packs IMO are tough, but they arent at the same level at TI. we will see how rudy youngbird can carry the team next year.

the only flaw to the packs is their shot selection.  they take some pretty forced shots and im thinking what r they doing but then they make some of them and im just in aww.  i think tony is a better shooter and maybe a smarter player but its hard for me to say that he is better than nathaniel

I agree. They do take some very, VERY, tough shots. They make them every now and then but I think if they wouldn't settle of the tough shots they could get much eaiser ones and make them at a higher percentage.

I'm happy for FW in doing what they did only losing 2 games is a hard thing to do but I'm even more happy that were done w/ all the FW fans

Four Winds played horrible against DT...... i dont think i have ever seen them play that bad..... i have never seen both the ironhearts miss the shots that they were missing.... i still believe 4winds was the best team other than parshall and i am disappointed i didnt get to see a 4winds parshall matchup in the championship.... that game would have been crazy and much higher scoring, for the fact that we wouldnt of had to watch a team that shows everyone how good of passers they are by passing the ball around the top of the key 17 times before they decide to shoot it.... yes trinity is a good team but they are lucky they caught 4winds on an off night because 4winds is a better team

FW isn't a better team according to the scoreboard. I think that's 2 years in a row that DT has knocked off 4 winds, am i right CHEA

it wasnt all there defense tho.... ironhearts missed layup, how many times has that happened.... and cj had really good looks at some 3's that he just couldnt convert on which he usually always does... im saying they missed shots they normally make and it wasnt becuz of the defense
