Century will be just fine they played terrible all of the games at WDA so im pretty sure if they can pull it together they can make a legit run for it lets not forget they only lost to BHS by 5 and Mandan by 1
North was doin their best job of trying to give it away but Century couldnt take it.
balla45 wrote:2 things. While the WDA dominated state last year, people forget that the EDC 3 and 4 seeds were their best teams, so North had to play the #1 from the WDA, or else it would have been very balanced, and EDC probably would have gone 2-2 last year as well. This is why I think state should be seeded.
What I thought of day 1.
Bismarck-Fargo South, this was a game simply dominated by BHS. Too big and strong for South. Finley looked like an all stater.
Century-Fargo North, very good game actually. Nik was off, but Nick Schultz had a great game to make up for it. Also very impressed with John Mullen off the bench. On Century's end, missed lay ups and free throws really cost them this game, as they had many chances to win. Nice win by Fargo North.
Minot-West Fargo, another great game. I was absolutely impressed with both coaches and both team's defensive play. Game was higher scoring than I expected, but these teams are phenomenal defensively. A very good game as expected.
Mandan-Fargo Shanley, a game that surprised me. Started out much closer than I expected. Rodenbiker was very impressive, more on that later, and Kielpinski dominated. Coyle and Jacobson didn't show out as I had hoped they would. I think Kielpinski is the reason Mandan won this game, along with some timely shooting by Flaa. Seniors stepped up.
Rodenbiker is, by far, the most underrated player in the state. I have seen him play 2 games this year and wow! Amazing talent. Very shifty with the ball and a quick release. Reminds me of Jordan May. Very impressed.'
Semifinal Games.
Bismarck-Fargo North
I think that, if Nik Savageau is on his game, Fargo North has a shot at an upset. There is no team like Fargo North in the WDA, and I am interested in seeing how Nik and Nick attack Bismarck. Fargo North's guards will be key if they want to win this game.
Mandan-West Fargo
This game will come down to whether or not Mandan scores. I do not think West Fargo can win a game played in the 70s or 80s, but if they keep the score in the 40s and 50s, they have a very good chance. Kielpinski needs to be 20+, along with at least 2 other players in double figures to ensure a win for Mandan.

bhs shot lights out today and Savageau was the only one who could do anything for North. 11-15 31 pts.

No, I mean West Fargo in this current game, are they really this bad?

Their D isnt doin terrible, but they have lacked offense all year in my opinion.
balla45 wrote:After today, can anyone say that we WDA fans have a huge bias, or that we are accurate in the WDA being much better?
The best teams in the EDC lost by 27 and 42, the 42 point loss being in a game where Nik Savageau played very well.
