I agree with most of this...

I think Bowman County will really miss Gary Ballard as their head coach. People don't realize what they have until it's gone, so I would swap them and Heart River (not saying the new guy wont do a great job, just saying they lost a heck of a coach)...with Heart River and Hazen being close to even for 3rd. New England Hettinger and Mott are all going to be real even...but they are all 20 points better than Richardton at 8. My opinion obviously based on what I know each program has coming back, and coming up. Heart River's best player is a 6'4 post named Isaiah Marshner, he is the best post in District 13, with Stephen Kristy being a close 2nd. He definitely needs to be on that list of top players! New England has a sophomore named Daniel Prince, and Hettinger Scranton has a frosh named Christian Kilwein (i think) and they will also both make noise in a tight district 13.

Regardless in Region 7...by tourney time everyone will be fighting to play in the 3rd and 4th place game...just before Trinity and Beulah battle it out for a spot at state.

SCHWABBBBBBBBBY! I think the middle of our District 13 is a toss up, as is the top of 14 and the region. Who you got heading in to the Dist. tourneys...here I will rank each Dist. real quick, but then you do the same! I'm pretty excited for these tourneys, gonna go to Dist. 13 the two days, then 14 for the title game. I'll save you a seat!!!!

Quick prediction for District 14. Which ever team loses the District championship, which I'm thinking will be Dickinson Trinity, will win our region...and go on and play in the State Championship. Another quick prediction....the last two years Mott/Regent has been the 1 seed in Dist. 13 and not won their game after the bye, could happen again this season.

Dist. 13

1. Heart River (Healthy heading into tourneys)
2. Mott/Regent
3. Bowman (Weren't these guys predicted to be 1? I won't be surprised if they don't make it to the Regional)
3. Hettinger/Scranton
3. New England
6. Beach

Dist. 14

1. Beulah
1. Trinity
3. Hazen
4. Killdeer
5. Richardton/Taylor
6. Glen Ullin/Hebron

I would agree with you on District 13 heading into the tournaments, but i also feel that any of those top 5 teams could win it, it should be a fun tournament! As for district 14 i would put R/T ahead of Killdeer, but other than that I think you're spot on. Also as for the "bye" teams in district 13 over the past 2 years they are 0-4 in the district semi finals.

[Mike Ditka]

Schwab....I would put Rich Taylor ahead to....but because Killdeer beat RT at home....Killdeers play in game will be against Glen Ullin Hebron...compared to RT having to play the loser of Hazen and Trinity.

I think that RT will beat Killdeer in that first game, thus getting to play GU/H in the qualifier.

[Mike Ditka]

Oh they play in the first round...you sir are right....and I agree with you. I wonder how long Killdeers coach will be around?! I also wonder where he finds those shoes with velcrot straps....old school!

[Mike Ditka]

Schwab who you got tomorrow night for the Dist. 13 and 14 titles? Also the play in games in 13. Hettinger-Scranton and Bowman should be a good one. Beach could surprise NE too.

What are everybodys thoughts on how it will end up?

G1: D14 #1 Beulah vs. D13 #4 Hettinger-Scranton
G2: D13 #2 Mott-Regent vs. D14 #3 Hazen
G3: D13 #1 Heart River vs. D14 #4 Richardton-Taylor
G4: D14 #2 Dickinson Trinity vs. D13 #3 New England

Tuesday, February 26th
G5: Winner G1 vs. Winner G2
G6: Winner G3 vs. Winner G4

Thursday, February 28th
3rd Place: Loser G5 vs. Loser G6
Championship: Winner G5 vs. Winner G6

[Run4Fun2009]

G1: D14 #1 Beulah vs. D13 #4 Hettinger-Scranton
G2: D13 #2 Mott-Regent vs. D14 #3 Hazen
G3: D13 #1 Heart River vs. D14 #4 Richardton-Taylor
G4: D14 #2 Dickinson Trinity vs. D13 #3 New England

Tuesday, February 26th
G5: D14 #1 Beulah vs. D14 #3 Hazen
G6: D13 #1 Heart River vs. D14 #2 Dickinson Trinity

Thursday, February 28th
3rd Place: D14 #3 Hazen vs. D13 #1 Heart River
Championship: D14 #1 Beulah vs. D14 #2 Dickinson Trinity

I think Trinity gets by Beulah in Regionals...Hazen is a scary matchup for Beulah in the Semifinals.

No easy games in the Semifinals...should be a great Regional tourney
