District 6

[bballfan_05]

So, whats everyones take on the teams in district 6 so far this year?

[baller01]

Steele-Dawson is the most surpising team. 7-0 I believe.

[bballfan_05]

Would it be right to say we might see a rematch of last year in the district championship this year.

Unless a team like Napoleon, MAYBE Strasburg if they click at the end. But otherwise, yes.

IMO, Strasburg is a couple years away

Yep, I agree. But you never know with young teams. They are pretty athletic and you just never know. The only team that I think could get their would be Napoleon.

[ndpreps]

I would say that Bakkum is just to tough to stop and with all the other players chipping in and playin good defense Steele/Dawson has the District unless Bakkum has a off night.

I was actually pretty surprised that Napoleon kept the game that close with Linton the other night. Not quite sure what Napoleon really has, but I guess their new coach is supposed to be really good.

I don't think I would go as far as to say that. They are a very good team but really, have they played a very good team yet? I'm not taking anything away from them because they are very solid. But that might be a little far to say they have the district. Steele has played, Tappen, WTPR, Ashley, Wishek, PBK, LaMoure, and Carrington. The first 5 are way below average teams, LaMoure is a game or two above .500, and Carrington is pretty good at 7-3. They are a good team, don't get me wrong, but I don't think we can say they have the district.

Horner is a great coach. Probably coach of the year in that district. Napoleon has Weigel of course who is very solid and Gross at point guard. Gross has been hurt most of the year but is pretty close to 100% now I believe.

  Don't give them the district yet, they haven't played too many close games yet in which coachin might factor into the result. IMO, that is one place where the team is lacking.

If i remember right, both gross and weigel are 4 yr starters.

[baller01]

Yes, they are. Who is the biggest surpise and biggest dissapointment in this district?

[bballfan_05]

IMO, surprise has to be SD hands down, disappointment would be WTPR I thought Winkler and company would play better.

WTPR has played I think the whole year without John Schleinger who is there best inside player.

I guess i should say thats just my prediction to win the district.  I feel that Bakkum just really steps it up when it counts.

WTPR has played I think the whole year without John Schleinger who is there best inside player.

I'm not sure on that, but it seems like they have the same problem every year, no bench.

How many class B teams have a bench? Really. Besides schools that 100+ kids to make a team out of. No small schools have a bench.

True, but most teams have a player or two they can put in to buy them minutes.

That is also true.

Steele has been down on the coaching in recent years, but its a safe bet to say that Olsen is by far the best they've had since Sand took the team to state in '91.

the thing i like about olson is he never gets out of control...he is exited and almost never sits down, but he doesn't yell at players hardly, if ever from what i remember.

pretty good cat all in all

Um.... there is another side that you haven't seen from years back, but he also doesn't have the guts to say things or sit players down at times. lack of discipline when I've seen them play certain games.

[rep]

all in all i'm waiting for the linton vs. steele-dawson game...seems like that game will go a long way to determining what we are in store for, not only in the district tourney but probably in the region tourney

jan. 26...week to go

what side is that.  i played for olsen and he will sit a person down for a mistake.  that lack of discipline you call i call a lack of bench.  you obviously aren't talking aobut the same Olsen then..
