I'm actually hearing the same. They have high expectations for the year.

I think the region is up for grabs. LaMoure has some underclassmen that are talented they may struggle some early but i wouldnt be suprised if they are back in the region championship game. I think one of the biggest x factors on the team is the olsen kid very athletic if he can develop they will have quite of few players that can put uup some points. Should be a fun year!

No probably in region 3 they bring back a lot of returning players including Kyle Nieuwsma.

-Not sure to believe the Strasburg hype, but I will. 4-7 are very much up for grabs in my opinion.

I honestly don't see S/Z making it out of round 1 at regionals. I could be proven wrong though.

I agree with these lists for the most part. Few tweaks here and there. I would substitute Weigel-Napolean and Meiklejohn-LaMoure for Humann and Pinke.

Grand Forks area

almost certain he coached JH in Grafton

Whats his name?

Robbie Lukens

Interesting to see if he has the smarts to battle with the experienced coaches in the district. Big jump from Junior High.

Well he isn't going to be lacking for talent, given Michaels recovery stays on schedule. They may have some growing pains as try learn his system but they are likely to make a strong post season run.

How did his teams play? Were they solid?

I don't think he ever coached in Grafton. I think he coached in Larimore or one of the district 3 schools.

He coached fifth grade girls in Grafton.

O ok. Don't get to many 5th grade girls games I guess haha.

Noah's wrote:He coached fifth grade girls in Grafton.

What type of offense did he run? Did they play uptempo or did they run a lot of sets?

Noah's wrote:He coached fifth grade girls in Grafton.

No, he coached Junior High girls in Grafton. He has coached in the Grand Forks school district. In college, he worked as a Grad Assistant for the Jamestown College Girls Basketball team. He also played at Jamestown College. He has been putting a lot of time in working with the student/athletes from the Wishek/Ashley area. I think the guy deserves a little more credit.
