How many teams make state and win it without thier third leading scorer. Most teams would end up in the consolulation bracket! They beat #2 Hillsboro in the semi and #1 Berthold in the 1980 State Championship!

Guldseth only made a couple field goals during the state championship(or semi-final game can't remember for sure) but made a ton of free throws. I believe glen ullin was one of the best teams that didn't win state in the 80's. I think they were as good as anybody in the 80's

'88 Glen Ullin won the first round against Strasburg but lost in the semi. Kenmare-Donnybrook with Pete Erickson was undefeated coming into state and lost the first round.
These are the teams I can remember from that year, I'm still missing 2.
Edinburg
Glen Ullin
Hankinson
Kemare
Hillsburro
Strasburg
The other two were Divide County and Carrington.

I think you see a little different style nowdays. Back in the day a player could dominate and take over a game...today it seems like coaches are a little hesistant to do this...I don't think you see the 20pts/20reb players today because we're in the "me" generation where everybody has to be "the guy". Maybe I'm wrong?
