THere you have it: Napoleon vs. Midkota in the final...

Was it a 9 point nail biter?
Can Midkota stay with Napoleon up and down the court tonight? Thoughts anyone? Napoleon is a tough team to slow down and I think Midkota will have to slow them down tonight for it to be a game.

The fact that Nap. scored so many points off turnovers and they only won by 9 should tell you something NodakQ2. I understand why you would think Nap. would blow through this but I think Ellendale just proved you wrong. A team lead by mostly inexperienced sophomores. It was close most of the way through and it was a "nail biter" I anticipate the next meeting between these two teams to be quite a game. If Ellendale does better on Napolean's press and it gets back on D more consistently and on the flipside if Napolean rebounds better.

I know ellendale can play better and compete ...PBK was a tough night shooting for ellendale as they previously beat PBK by 30 a few days prior. And thank you EHS!

Ok...That makes more sense...(The game a few days prior) Ellendale appears to have played very well against Napoleon. Like I said, makes for a great region with Linton, Napoleon AND Ellendale in the mix.

Especially confusing if they in fact can run with Napoleon. If I am not mistaken, Carrington's B squad beat PBK Varsity by almost 20, and Carrington's B Squad is not a great team.
My guess is that Napoleon had an "off night" against Ellendale, much like Ellendale had an "off night" against PBK.
Sophomores leading Elllendale? That is impressive...Looks good for the next couple years for Ellendale and probably explains their "highs and lows" a little better. Napoleon looks tough at least through next year as well being led by mostly Jr's...Makes for exciting Regional Tournaments!

PBK did not play Carrington with their Varsity. They held out their 2 Seniors and another starter was out with a broken hand so it was a legal JV game. Off the bench for PBK on their JV is 8th graders so they cannot even come close to competing with Carringtons JV. As for the Ellendale game, PBK's big girl was on the bench in the first 2 minutes of the first game and they had 11 turnovers in the first quarter. Down by 20 right away. They played a more slow down game the second game. Ellendale didn't shoot as well the second game but PBK only shot 28% for the game. 11% the second half. Ellendale dominated the boards the second game and thats what won it for them. Very impressed with their team though
