2009-2010: Is it too early to ask?

[NDFAN100]

I agree Sam is good kid and Parshall could challenge for Region 8, but I watched them play in the YMCA league in Minot, that was won by Kenmare once again and they must develop a lot to take the next step to be competitive against the likes of Kenmare, Hazen, FLPR or Standing Rock. There is some very good teams that could return to State that played in last years tourney and this could cause problems for a team like Parshall that hasn't won the District in many years.

[COACHWEST]

Parshall needs to worry more about Stanley than any teams from outside their District. Parshall has some great tools to work with, but the history books suggest Stanley is a heavy Region 8 favorite. I do wish Sam and the gang luck though. I'll be very surprised if Stanley doesn't repeat as Region 8 Champs and I enjoy surprises...

[Stallng]

Parshall is the most underrated and sam risan and shanaye pack and sheralyn plante will lead the lady braves to the title

[Hunterlaf]

hence forth the lady braves should win this region

Parshall only had there freshman team plus sam at the y

Yea Right...lol..........Remember My daughter played ECI with Sam and they are very good friends and they played against each other this summer at the Y. I think they know who was playing and it was not all Freshman.......Sorry

parshall team at the Y league

kidder county will be a team you need to watch. Eli Benz grew about 2 inches and lost about 15 pounds. Does not look like the same player physically. She now appears to tower over many girls. I think they have enough back to make a serious run this year and I am going to make my prediction now 9/24/09 that come March, she will have broken every record for Kidder County and will be Miss Basketball. No, I am not bragging up kidder county because I am from there. I just suggest(especially some dim witted sports writers) if given the chance to watch them play, take advantage. They do not have a true point guard, which could ultimately be their achilles heel. I do think they have enough to get to the state tournamenet again. She is an impressive force on the volleyball court also.

I agree about Benz, I watched the Kidder County - South Border VB match last night and was very impressed with her athleticism. She was a very good athlete last year and looks quicker and more agile this year. If KC develops some ball handlers she will be very tough to handle in BB.

[4thegame]

what was Benz numbers from last year?

Figured you would be talking up South Border now since you are in that school system. Eli Benz is a good player but not the all-american you brag her up to be. Let's see how your prediction goes. I like how you put that sports writer thing in your comment also, is that so they pay more attention to her and miss out on other great players in the state? Let's see if any names come out of Beach this year also...

[thebigshow]

Region 1: Central Cass
Region 2:FLPR
Region 3:Kidder County
Region 4:Carrington
Region 5: Turtle Lake
Region 6: Bottineu
Region 7: Hazen
Region 8: Parshall

this is my prediction!

[triplebbb]

Parshall will have a very hard time winning Region 8. Stanley returns alot of good players in the Mehus girls, Pappa, Hornberger, etc. Mandaree has a good team with Toni Johnson and Deseray Bolman. WC will be full of talented juniors. Divide County has 2 6 footers and a good guard in Renner. I predict Parshall will not go to state.

[Hunterlaf]

the parshall girls will go to state sam risan will lock up rachel mehus an shanaye packineau wil lock up 1 of stanleys 6 footers

[NDFAN100]

Hey Bigshow:

I agree with most of your predictions, but the Days of Bottineau are over , it was Honker time last year and It will be this year as well......

dont get me wrong..kenmare is good...but i thought miller was the heart of that team...and bottineau has peltier..and that artz girl...and im not sure of the other names, but they are like decent...and their coach..is probably the best coach in the state...so i have them winning.

Hankinson is overrated...Central Cass should be in the top 10

[big fan]

can someone tell me how they pick them ? Carrington has nobody listed in the top returning scores or rebounders. So how did they get it?

Read the Girls Hopster Big show...........

really do you really think the hoopster is always right?....like fer real i bet the hoopster is wrong 90% of the time

[ndlionsfan]

They basically take the coaches picks to win each region and then rank those as the top 8 teams in the state. After that they just fill in other top teams to round out the top forty. I'm surprised to see Carrington as high as 2. It will be a tight one between them and Harvey to take the region, but it looks like region 4 should produce a title contender this season.

[brockstar41]

Carrington and Harvey shouldn't be in the same gym. Carrington will run all over Harvey. The game that should be one to watch is Carrington at Hazen the second Friday in December.
