Now...I am from South Heart, which really doesn't matter. H.R. is my 2nd favorite team around here, and I have seen NE and HR play great games against each other. I picked NE the beginning of the year, and I'm sticking with it. My connection, is I like their coach. I would say the order is...

1. Beulah
2. Trinity
3. New England
4. Heart River
5. Hazen
6. Bowman
7. Mott
8. Killdeer

Did you see Mott play in our district tourney Schwab...it was not pretty.

On a light note...your guys' radio announcer is the best ref on the sideline...of all time. (Hettinger radio)


I did see them play against Bowman, and they didn't play poorly IMO, they just ran into a red hot Bowman team that night. I am shocked at the progress that Bowman has made this year, they might be the team to come out of this region next year, but I feel they are a year away. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if any of my top 6 teams I listed, no disrespect to Bowman or Killdeer but I just don't feel that they can win 3 in a row against this competition, win the whole thing. I think one thing is for sure, whoever comes out of this region will be putting on a show at the state tournament.

And your top 5 are all very good players, I would still put Ben at the top of the list. Just my opinion.

There ya go Ditka, I was just looking for you to be honest and state that you're rooting for New England because of a personal connection to their coach. Nothing wrong with that!

And it's not about the rest of us rooting against New England. It would be a GREAT small school story if New England made it to the state tournament. I just want some honest analysis here. NE can win the tournament, but it would be an upset if they beat Beulah and Trinity, as you admitted in your own 1-8 rankings. (I give them even odds against Hazen, Heart River and Mott-Regent).

Your original comment was basically, "let's hand the 2nd place trophy to the loser of the Beulah/New England game." That didn't sit well with me, given all the other talent we have in this tournament. It's going to be a fun one.

One more note - our Region 7 champ appears destined for a state tournament first round matchup with Central Cass unless an upset occurs out east. They have an excellent squad. Our region has great depth this year, but is our champ any better than Central Cass? I'm not sure. Someone is going to win a region 7 championship next Thursday, but let's not crown them with anything more than that.

Milnor or Kindred

I think the reason are jumping at you ditka is because of the manner in which you stated your opinion. It came off as condesending and demeaning. You are basically saying the other teams in the region aren't a worth a dang thing

For Region 4, I'll predict NS by 30-20-10, no matter who they play. This was my prediction last year for state, but this year they aren't as strong without Lindahl. The state prediction (if they make it) will have to be adjusted.

I know comparing scores is sketchy business but in this case it's about all we got. Didn't Shiloh beat New England by double digits? I think they also got a win against Hazen.

Anyone know if Shiloh played any other teams in the Region 7 tournament?


Yes they did...however they aren't playing in this region, and the topic is region predictions. They should have a pretty easy road to the title game in Region 5. Good for them, they are a good team.

Are you guys missing this...

Mike Ditka wrote:And I will take Beulah...In a fun one.


So those of you that say Beulah will beat Trinity or Heart River are agreeing with me, if NE beats Beulah I struggle believing that they will lose to Hazen.

Bison I have now watched Hazen play 4 times, not once have I came away overly impressed (Trinity game, both Beulah losses, and when they ran over Bowman) sorry but again, that's my opinion. Now lets not have another childish arguement like last time, I respect your opinion, you can respect mine. I do wish someone would hop on this darn Tiger bandwagon with me...I mean c'mon, they are the smallest school in the Region tourney by over a hundred kids, what do Beulah and Hazen have 250 kids each? New England has around 50 kids in the High School, and they aren't co-opped, there season is already impressive with that few of kids to choose from...why not root for the little guy in the most competitive region in the state. You guys hate Butler too? Gonzaga? George Mason? Just wondering?! Be open minded, stop giving me facts...I'm obviously just rooting for them, however, I do think it's a long shot, but so was Butler going to the title game two years in a row!


This is a topic about region tournament predictions, not enrollment numbers.

I have a problem picking NE, considering they don't really have a signature win over anyone in District 14. Also, NE didn't play Beulah when they were hot...they're hot now, not the third game of the season. Before they beat NE, Beulah had beaten Max and Garrison. NE has to prove something in the postseason first, like that they can beat a good D14 team when it counts before I'll pick them, IMO. I also like how because NE and Hazen haven't played, NE just gets the benefit of the doubt that they'd win that game. Good luck with that.

I've said repeatedly on here that I know their coach! If you guys were at some of the parties he threw in college you would be rooting for the Tigers too! He actually yelled at me a couple weeks ago because his kids thought that I was him! He isn't a fan of ND preps or our comments/predictions! I'm sure a lot of coaches prob feel the same. Outside of that, I do think they are just as good as anyone, 5 teams can win region 7.....its gonna be a blast!

Bison....I came off condescending on purpose....just to bother you. If you are from Hazen, and havent seen Dist. 13 teams play, its tough for me to take your arguments seriously. Its isn't like Hazen, just because they are bigger, have been making a run of region 7 titles....respect is earned, earn it...or be prepared for criticism on a blog site.

Stop taking my predictions so seriously....they are just predictions, I suppose when you make them it opens up an arguement....but I simply made the prediction for fun....I realize its a long shot! If i want to say I like the Tigers because they are a small school Wildcat....then thats part of the reason I'm picking them. All part of my opinion! It would be easy to pick Beulah or Trinity....they always win.

I always root for the small schools so I'm pulling hard for NE and Powers Lake to come out of their regions. Same with Maple Valley pulling it off in Region 1. They have had a lot of good teams int he last 10 years but have never been able to make it. Would be great for those small towns.

The last line of defense when you are losing an argument is always smashing the opponents credibility. How's it feel to know that almost everyone that has replied to this is against you? People on this site like actual analysis and realistic predictions. Not "I like the coach so they are gonna win." or "they are better because there coach threw some good parties in college" WHO CARES ABOUT THAT

This conversation needs to go in a different direction... I opened up a Region 7 thread as a place for some analysis and predictions.

Mike, you may want to put more thought into what you are posting about your "friend" and his team on ND preps, especially since he has already indicated that he doesn't like this kind of attention on himself or his team.

Bison...

Of course when you make a prediction that isn't the most likely thing to happen people are going to argue and make valid points against you. I simply stated why I am a fan of them because it was questioned, and I'm not shining any negative light on them what so ever, I hardly think their coach really gives a hoot about what you or I have to say. Are they talented, yes, if you had ever seen them play you would know that. Chill out girl scout.
I'm sorry that I have chosen the road less travelled (picking the under dog) and you don't like that. I don't feel I'm losing an argument, I'm simply saying what my predictions are. Which is, if Beulah beats NE, which I said will happen in a close game, then they will win the region 7 title. If NE beats Beulah I think they will have the momentum to also capture the Region 7 title.
My opinion, if you don't like it, stop commenting on what I have to say. You are acting like my prediction is against the law...If I want to say I am rooting for the Hettinger/Scranton Nighthawks because I like their new school colors then I'm entitled to say that, last I checked I didn't have to write down what everyone wanted to hear, again whether you like it or not. I'm obviously not into pleasing people and writing what I'm suppose to, if you can't handle that, I again will ask you, to stop commenting on what I have to say.

If I were to say this your argument would be obsolete....

Beulah or Trinity are going to win and New England doesn't have a chance...here is why. New England hasn't beaten a top team this year from Dist. 14. They played Beulah this year early and lost by 11 points, they lost to Trinity by 2. All of these teams are better than them because they have beaten them. There is no such thing as Tourney magic or luck for the under dog to win. So nobody should ever EVER predict them to win because in a blog others would be able to display facts as to why the other schools who are favored will win.....

Obviously it is easy to argue against my prediction...because it's a long shot. Please get over it. Thanks.

Of course when you make a prediction that isn't the most likely thing to happen people are going to argue and make valid points against you. I simply stated why I am a fan of them because it was questioned, and I'm not shining any negative light on them what so ever, I hardly think their coach really gives a hoot about what you or I have to say. Are they talented, yes, if you had ever seen them play you would know that. Chill out girl scout.
I'm sorry that I have chosen the road less travelled (picking the under dog) and you don't like that. I don't feel I'm losing an argument, I'm simply saying what my predictions are. Which is, if Beulah beats NE, which I said will happen in a close game, then they will win the region 7 title. If NE beats Beulah I think they will have the momentum to also capture the Region 7 title.
My opinion, if you don't like it, stop commenting on what I have to say. You are acting like my prediction is against the law...If I want to say I am rooting for the Hettinger/Scranton Nighthawks because I like their new school colors then I'm entitled to say that, last I checked I didn't have to write down what everyone wanted to hear, again whether you like it or not. I'm obviously not into pleasing people and writing what I'm suppose to, if you can't handle that, I again will ask you, to stop commenting on what I have to say.

If I were to say this your argument would be obsolete....

Beulah or Trinity are going to win and New England doesn't have a chance...here is why. New England hasn't beaten a top team this year from Dist. 14. They played Beulah this year early and lost by 11 points, they lost to Trinity by 2. All of these teams are better than them because they have beaten them. There is no such thing as Tourney magic or luck for the under dog to win. So nobody should ever EVER predict them to win because in a blog others would be able to display facts as to why the other schools who are favored will win.....

Obviously it is easy to argue against my prediction...because it's a long shot. Please get over it. Thanks.


When people made a "prediction" on another topic saying a certain NE bball player may not be good enough for all-state much less first-team, you made sure you made your feelings known.

Don't get mad at other people for doing the same to you.

Wildcat thats obvious, thats the point of blogging. What I didn't say was one of you guys were losing...or everybody is right and you're wrong, or better yet, "that's not what people want to read". I think that's the point...and whos mad????

"Have you seen Kaine Hanson or Mosbrucker play? They both are front runners to win Region 7 mvp...neither should be taken off a list for a defensive player....they are both great on defense too...hanson is almost averaging a triple double....he's an easy choice for all state....possibly first team."

Someone tried to freely say that Hanson should be taken off the all-state list, and the above statement pretty much sounds like your saying he's wrong. Predicting all-state isn't that much different than what we're talking about.

Run; Any word on what happened to a kid named Keplin that played for Shiloh earlier in the season? He didn't play for them last night.
