Enderlin would really have to put it together to be 4 in R1. Sargent County should be there.

Good break down chief45. R4 person here. FW/M of course will reload and be top 4 team or better in state. NS is a really good young team. Only losing 1 player after a very good year. St. John will be solid. Also if not mistaken, Rolette and Rolla are going together next year and had some real nice players. Together, they could be a fun team to keep an eye on.

Good catch on Warwick. They were fun to watch as the season progressed. Seemed H-WC had a lot of Seniors, but some quality Juniors as well. What do they bring back?

While Grafton seems to come back every year, I think replacing Jiskra in the 22-23 team will be very difficult. He had an outsized role inside for them. As for Kindred, they will be good, but maybe not great. They need to get over their "need to dunk" and focus on basic basketball, IMO. Their remaining "bigs" will be challenged as their number is now diminished. Central Cass will surely miss starter Deutsch and reserve Everson, but there's several worthy reserves. They seem to have good chemistry to go with their athleticism.BasketballMind wrote:I still put Grafton up in Region 2 due to style of play/returning players. It translates year over year. They lost a big class of key players in 2021 and were able to reload and make another run. Kindred will be in a similar situation next year. They lose a big senior class this year, but have good athletes returning. Some will be getting their first "real" varsity minutes. Central Cass is probably the right answer "on paper", but no one should be surprised if Kindred wins R1 again.

UNDSiouxfan wrote:I'll only discuss R1, as I'm familiar with these teams. I noticed an earlier post about Enderlin being 4th in R1 next year, sorry but that likely won't be the case next year. They have one really good player returning, and their JV team really struggled this past year.
I believe R1 should be CC's to lose, with several decent teams in the mix. Overall, the Region should be more balanced than the past season.
Region 1:
1. Central Cass - Cole Holzer will be one of the top players in R1 and the state, and good guards in Kobbervig/Vrchota lead a very deep team.
2. Kindred - the younger Peraza will only get better, but he will be a very good player. They had a very good JV team last season and they have the numbers to remain at the top.
3. Sargent County - return Martinson & Willprecht. Two of the better players in the entire Region along with a good nucleus of others. SC will be a contender at the end.
4. Oak Grove - OG always prepares their kids with a tough schedule and it will be difficult to replace their guards from last season. A transfer or two usually comes their way, so we shall see but they'll likely be good as usual. The defense of Card/Rodriguez will be missed as they were excellent defenders.
5. Richland - almost everyone back, they will be much better next season. They will be one of the better shooting teams in R1.
6. Northern Cass - they depended heavily on the 3 last season, will likely be the same next year. I see them somewhere between 6-8 next season.
7. Hankinson - Cruz Hernandez has started since the 8th grade, he will be relied on heavily his senior season. They had an average JV team last season that relied more on the inside game, those players will be on the Varsity next season and I expect them to be a deeper team than last year. They will be pretty good defensively, with Hernandez and Kath being two of the better defensive players in R1.
8. Lisbon - Will need to establish an inside presence, but they should have the numbers to have a competitive team.
9. Wyndmere-Lidgerwood - a decent defensive team, but they need to figure some things out offensively. Their guards will struggle against most teams, & their big guy needs to control the paint and be more physical.
10. Tri-State - they return several, but not sure if they'll have enough talent to compete with the top teams.
11. Maple River - good shooters, but they will struggle inside.
12. Enderlin - see above.
Which big man? Kindred has several.Region 1 Fan wrote:Is it true that Kindred's big guy is going to miss the basketball season because of injury. If that's the case, that changes the landscape for Region 1. You probably have CC, OG, SC, Richland and then maybe Kindred rounding out the top 5. Kindred will still be tough but it would be difficult to replace their big guy as he is a matchup issue for all of Region 1.
