North Dakota Preps

With the Miss Hoopster already out, does anyone have any predictions for the upcoming season?

maybe check the predictions thread?

I predict the private school in Minot will be good again, but will lose a game this season.

Hoopster doesn't have the Class A/B matchups in the schedules.

Fargo Shanley vs. Bishop Ryan (BR's most likely loss)
Bismarck St. Mary's vs Dickinson Trinity

I haven't been able to pick up the Miss Hoopster yet, and I doubt I'll be able to for another week or so. Is anyone willing to share the District/Regional rankings? Top 40 Power Poll? Thanks!

Can't wait to see Ryan vs NorthStar in Minot on December 29. Ryan will win but could be a close one.

Dec 27th will be the bigger game: Fargo Shanley vs. Bishop Ryan...likely both will be #1 going into that game.

Watch out for Kindred, a lot of athletic people and they stated to gel this summer. They will surprise people I think.

Im curiuos what everyone thinks about some early season matchups. Shiloh vs Beulah?, Ryan vs Thompson?, Parshall vs Trinity?

Thompson won't quite be that solid early in the season as they are missing valuable BB practice time for State VB.

Congratulations to Bishop Ryan on their 58th consecutive victory (and counting) and the record for most consecutive wins. I know there is a lot of animosity on this site about parochial schools but that is an amazing accomplishment. Prior to this generation Ryan's girls basketball program was floundering at best. So it is not automatic and comes with a lot of hard work, good coaching, and discipline.
