North Dakota Preps

Maybe #1 vs #2

This definitely should be a good one! With the athletes that both teams have, the way they both defend, and the way each of them get up and down the floor, this should be fun one to see.

A FYI for anyone wanting to watch online......Rugby webcasts all home games online at www.highschoolcube.com. Just search for Rugby High School and click on the game link.

I'm taking Rugby 69 59. They know how to show up to big games. Their defense is always outstanding.. If FWM can get the pace a little faster than what Rugby wants they might have a chance but I don't think that'll happen. Should be a good one though with great atmosphere!

I think a fast pace is what Rugby wants

FWM loves going up and down so I think Rugby will try slow it down. Rugby can play either way so I think they'll look to slow it down more just because FWM loves to run and gun..

Good points...I think Rugby will look to run if its there, but will look to stop ball so FWM cant run. I think Rugby is a little better team playing on its home court.

I was just thinking how this game is a little bigger or more important than it would be in years past since there is a new seeding formate for the state tournament?!?!?!?! It could definitely play a factor in how the state tournament is seeded - IF both teams get to the the state tournament. Which is a BIG if in Class B.

Both Rugby and Four Winds have to be favorites in their regions, I agree. They both however have other region teams that have the POTENTIAL to knock them off.
Des Lacs and St. John come to mind right away.
This would be an awesome game to be at, two heavy weights throwing punches. I would imagine there will be a few 3 balls launched in this one. I am guessing there won't be much room in the gym to sit, standing room only is my prediction.
Have both teams ever hit 100 in a north dakota basketball game???

Believe it was 2009, Dunseith beat Warwick 123-118 in 3 or 4 OT's at the Four Winds shootout.

anyone else having problems with the webcast video? Mine is stopping quite often.

It's ok now-- during pre-game it was troublesome up until the starting line-ups were announced.

Is there anyone that was at the game that can give a recap???
