I'll start with the best region in the state, Region 2.
Starters
G - Craig Nelson (02' MPCG)
G - Scott Guldseth (88' Edinburg)
F - Travis Kraft (98' MPCG)
F - Todd Olson (86' Cavalier)
C - Keith Omlie (94' Fordville)
Bench - Tom Jacobson (96' MPCG)? Andrew LeClair (97' MPCG)? Steve Sedler ('98 GCC)? Keith Omlie (94' Fordville) Dennis Delude ( 02' NB) Dean Dvorak ('85 Minto) Chris Reinhart ('02 Finley) Kyle Morehart (84' Hillsboro)?
Coach - Dave Nelson, Ed Buyer, Jim Bauley
There is a pretty solid 12 man roster. Everyone in the starting five went to state, 4 of them won state championships, 3 of them won multiple state championships, and 3 of them were Mr. Basketball finalists.

I put him in the starting 5 because he won a state championship and was probably the most intimidating player on the list. Who did Mo Nelson and Todd Wold play for? I can honestly say I've never heard of Nelson but Wold sounds a bit familiar. Also, who did Burkhard play for? That name sounds familiar, too.

There is a pretty solid 12 man roster. All but one (Omlie) in the starting five went to state, 4 of them won state championships, 3 of them won multiple state championships, and 3 of them were Mr. Basketball finalists.

You kind of dissappoint me ....A big region 4 guy like you not knowing 2 of the best players from the region. Todd Wold was a standout for binford, played with Jeremy Brandt who made your list, and Mo Nelson, correct me if i'm wrong played for GSM (could be wrong, but i remember my dad telling me about how good he was) and he coached todd and jeremy, so that's why I'm probably a little biased haha.

As the Schwab said, Nelson played for GSM, graduated back in 90....really strong, drove hard to the hoop, rebounded like a 6-7 guy at 6 foot, and could drill it from deep...Todd Wold played for Binford/Midkota, graduated in 1992..lightening quick, could go either way equally well, and was deadly from 3, great jump shot that allowed him to shoot over guys right up on his hip...Burkhard was a 2 or 3 year all-stater from Lakota..6-7, dribbled well, great shooter from deep and could score on the blocks...had a huge career at UNDLR and later Northern state (All-american, national runnersup)...he may have graduated in 1989 thought, I don't remember.
