Region 8- New Town- 215 (9-12) 53.75 kids per class
I don't think these enrollment numbers represent "Class B". Some of these schools have more kids in one class then most class b schools have in their entire high school. Just my two cents.
I think Ryan's numbers might be slightly high. I really don't think they have 40 kids per class.
ndlionsfan wrote:What does the one sport have to do with education? I bet over 25% of the schools in ND right now barely have 50 kids 9-12. Let's just shut them all down because ND education must have gone to heck and those kids won't get any jobs or be successful in college. Yeah right, they are the ones that most employers and colleges are after!

If you think there is no advantage coaching in a private school, you are confused.

At 98.9% of Class B Schools, the starting five on the basketball floor are usually the best football, baseball and track athletes at that school as well. Doesnt seem that way at parochial schools.

The IMO at the end of your post bothers me. When it comes to topics like this, I myself have no interest in opinions... only facts. Let's try and get some. Below are the 15 names on Dickinson Trinity's roster. The names I recognize from watching the broadcast today are in bold. Can someone who is a Trinity support please respond to this telling us which of these kids only play basketball, and which ones are in multiple sports? If they are, what other sports? Are they any good at those sports?

St. Marys can't even get enough kids for a sophmore and jv team so the kids all have 2 play 3 halves.

North star is making a better case for the two class system.

Have you ever been to some of the alphabet schools? They are dying towns and the farms are becoming giant (not many "small family farms" anymore).
