3Peat for Four Winds?

[Indians Alumni]

St John's is going to have to rely on the bench, but they only go about 6 deep in the roster, but I don't see that happening. Like I stated before, only 4 guys scored in their last game, where as, FW had about 8 scoring. I see FW spreading the floor and running the ball on these guys! They would be dumb not to! I see a blow out happening!

[B_Baller]

FW- 51
SJ-35

FW had more hustle then SJ the whole game and shot the ball pretty dang good I would say. Not what I predicted but turned out better. Good luck at State Boys!!!

Does anyone know stats for Ollie and Zack

Yeah also one thing.......I thought somone said that FW rebuilding team wouldn't make it ......Never doubt Indians you will be amazed ......The way they played tonight they didn't seem like a team rebuilding form last year they seemed like a team that has played with eachother for years

[NATURAL TALENT]

St. John shot a whopping 12-49 from the field tonight. Pretty much impossible to win when you shoot the lights out like that.

3Peat baby! Couldn't be prouder of our boys! 2 minutes away from elimination againt langdon on monday to region champs on thursday! We aren't known for our defense, but the "D" is why we're goin back to state. Now we will be the underdog to Lamoure but I gaurentee they haven't seen anything like us and they better be ready! Also, Carlson getting COY for region 4 was a joke! OK, he's retiring blah, blah , blah! Smith deserves it and everyone knows it!!

I have a feeling this is going to be one of the best if not the best matchup at state. Four Winds is young, but has state experience, LaMoure is senior dominated with no state experience. Four Winds won't get any cheap buckets off their press i guarantee that. LaMoure won't get their steals either though. And yes LaMoure can play Four Winds' run-n-gun ball, that is why i think this will be the best game at state. However i believe LaMoure has a significant height advantage with Shockman.

[Iron Scope]

Btw congrats to Four Winds on making it back to state after losing seniors...again. A lot of that credit goes to Coach Smith as well.

[all_around]

I thought people were saying FW wouldnt make it outta districts!?!?!?! What happened there? Who was saying that, ummmm Project pat?? haha now its going to be alot harder for FW.. Still have my support 100% GO INDIANS!!!!

[IDK_JST_A_FAN]

FW played a smart game.

SJ has come a long way this year but just couldn't make the baskets drop last night. SJ has some very hard working players, they were the underdogs and made it to the championship game. They also have very good sportsmanship. I would have liked to see them in state, I don't think SJ ever made it to state?

But since they didn't make it---GO INDIANS---

[all_around]

Yeah they are a very hard working team and they did deserve just as much as FW to make it to the big tourny, lastnight a few of FW fans were very unsporting, especially when Ron Carlson (Congrats btw) got the region COY award. The booing was uncalled for and the way one lady kept saying we're number one!!!!

[luckyinlife]

I agree that the FW - LaMoure matchup could be the most exciting game of the tournament to watch. Both teams like the up tempo game. Good ol' Class B basketball at its best. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

[B_Baller]

This game is going to be another good game....seems like every game FW plays is a good game.
ummm....I think the height advantage LaMoure has over FW really won't make a difference.. Alberts and Lovejoy play smart defensuve when they're guarding taller post........FW is ready for state

[scruffy]

It's time for new blood to come out of that region. three straight regional titles is too much. maybe they should be move d up to "A"...

[all_around]

Yeah too bad the school isnt big enough, I wounder if FW would beable to be competitive in class A, they usually play a few class A teams each year, maybe they should, but i bet if that happend they would come back and dominate..

I wouldnt say its being bigheaded. MS wasnt even rated in the last poll, getting votes yes, but so was NRS. They just didnt play 4 quarters of basketball. They were in the game against FW, got a big lead and gave it away and never regained the momentum. Thats not being bigheaded. LM didnt play well against Warwick, for 3 quarters it was a good game, then they came out and shot terrible the 4th quarter, some games just go that way.

Bigheaded is the wrong term, you're right. Coach Wirth was telling his boys to take it one game at a time. They were good...they deserved a state appearance...but I know they had alot of fun playing even for 3rd place. Sure it wasn't state, but warm-ups were a completely dunk show...and they loved it. They had a great, UN-bigheaded season and I'm proud of them. Good luck Four Winds. Let's show them how Region 4 plays.

I wish I could have seen it. How many T's did they end up with? I thought I heard 3 before half. Great stuff.

[Mr. Knowitall]

LaMoure has 6'3, 6'3, and 6'6 in thier starting lineup. With 6'6 Caleb Shockman being the leading scorer on the team at about 20 a game, he aslo had a season high of 43 points. With that said FW really has to run the floor the entire game to makeup for their height disadvantage. I don't think their halfcourt offense is going to cut it like it has in the past couple of games.

I love FW fans, they are rowdy, they came out of the wood work again this year, and they know how to celebrate. I don't agree with booing, but you know what why does Ron Carlson get the node for COY? Coach Smith took a "rebuilding" team and put them back in state! Carlson is a good coach, don't get me wrong, but Coach Smith was more deserving!

INDIAN POWER!!!

[toughregion2]

They will be in the sunshine bracket again this year just like last year

That region was down this year any one of the teams could of went.

[Indians Alumni]

Sunshine? We had DT right off the bat again last year!

Again, the COY is voted on BEFORE the regional is decided. The coaches who voted had NO IDEA that Smith would lead the team back to state. Many coaches were deserving going into the regionals---Hirst, Wirth, Carlson, and Smith. Smith is a great coach. Very deserving. Just as Carlson is.

and what happened in the second round ????

[toddjames]

That's a bunch of nonsense right there, to say a Region is down and they anyone of the teams could have of went shows you know very little, to nothing about that Region or basketball in general... when have four of five teams capable of getting to the state tournament, it means the Region is TOUGH, not that it's down... Anyone of the teams had a shot because they were all good... If you are going to say anything, say that Region 4 was one of the toughest to get out of...

[Mr. Knowitall]

Region 4 being down? Try NR-S totally romping region 2 runner-up Park River by a score of 76-49. New Rockford didn't even make it out of the first round of the region 4 tourney. I think region 4 is by far more balanced than region 2.
