by mayville state (who btw is the only men's basketball program in North Dakota history to play for a national championship) isn't good enough.

 

Are you talking about this year's team?  LRSC beat them earlier in the year at both exhibition games.  Yes, they played the JV as well during the regular season, but they did play the varsity too.

That tells you 1 of 2 things.  Either that division wasn't very strong or that the Juco level is higher than many think it is.  I would wager on the second one and say that the Juco level is higher than most people realize.

They played in what you said as an exhibition game...where the coaches were trying to decifer who to play....and also Ron Howard did not participate in those games.....if he would have played it would not have been close...and i say that as a fact. And i am not trying to take anything at all away from Lake Region IMO they have a very good program

Actually Mayville asked LRSC to play a zone for one of the second halves.  Something Graupe hadn't even had a chance to work on with his players.  In fact, he didn't even have a zone in his playbook at the time and yet LRSC still beat them playing a defense they hadn't even practiced.

Ron Howard did not participate in those games.....if he would have played it would not have been close...and i say that as a fact.


Ron Howard or no Ron Howard, LRSC would and could play at Mayville's level each and every time....and I say that as a fact.

We will probably have to agree to disagree on this one.

If LRSC and Mayville played in the same conference and the games meant something, LRSC would beat Mayville 1 out of every 20 times.

Tim Miles (former NDSU coach) said after they played mayville that Ron was the quickest player he had coached against this year, now that's sayin something.

This is my final post on this subject

The numbers don't lie.  They kept score and I believe even a video of the game was taken. LRSC beat Mayville.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions.  Mine differs from yours lionsfan.  I think they could play 20 times and I think the win could go either way.

WSC, NDSCS, and LRSC have really stepped up the level of play. Both the men and women's teams.

I don't know who your source is but it can not be a very reliable source because there are a lot of schools he has turned down already.  I know that he has narrowed it down to 3.  MSUM, Jamestown, and Mary.  And another thing, LRSC would not come close to Mayville State if they played even half as good as they played at nationals.

Dude, Jetblue, don't come in here and throw out random insults and sarcasm, you are bringing down the integrity of this site.  If this gets packed with "morons" throwing out random crap like that, it will no longer be a place where a person can seriously express their opinions! 

Anyway, it would be nice to have Lorenz in the Black and Orange of Jamestown.  Does the guy play football also?  JC would be a nice fit for him and Lorenz would be a nice fit for JC.

LRSC confirms they got R.J Darling, Ironheart and Moe. I hope the rumor is right about the Packineaus also.

Wow you guys did a great job not filling this thread up with garbage

Well basketball is his main sport but he's a pretty good competitor in track.  I think this season is only his second year in track and I'm not sure but I think he was a fairly good football player as well.  Basketball is obviously number 1 for him but he's good at track and football just not as good as basketball.

The game with Mayville State's varsity was a scrimmage which doesn't show too much since it's that early in the year.  During the actual season our JV played LRSC's Varsity and competed with them very well.  I think Lake Region maybe won by about 15 both times so I highly doubt that this year had our varsity played LRSC in a real game they would beat them.  By varsity I mean the team that was playing in the National Championship game at the end of the year, not at the beginning of the year when they are still figuring out who is playing where, when, and how much because once they got their rotation down they were a tough team to beat.  I'm not taking anything away from LRSC but there's just no way that they would be able to of beat them this year.

What position does he play in football and what does he do in track? To me it seems like he's not the most athletic person... but then again I've only seen him in person twice.
