In Region 6, Rugby is a nice story after beating Velva in the Dist champ game and now advancing to the Regional Finals. That said, I think that Bishop Ryan still has to be the favorite. They beat Velva by 20 last night, and have been getting better all year. Should be a great game.

I don't think a 20-3 team (one that also qualified for state vb) would be considered a cindarella team. Yes, they knocked off the defending state champs who everyone thought was a shoe in to go back to state, but this team is no slouch. They are a very good team that may come out of one of the toughest regions this year. They, along with Lakota, Benson Co, and Langdon, are also a very young team and will be around for a few years. Region 4 is going to be fun to watch for the next 2-3 years.

Along with L-A-E, Benson CO and Langdon you would have to include North Star and Rolla with some very good young talent. Carrington wont be all that bad either. Region 4 is tough the next few years.

Are there any teams with momentum carrying them into the big game to go to the even promised grounds of the State B?
Any Cinderella Stories?
Who's best teams left in the sweet 16?
What major upsets have come around in the region tournaments?

I saw that Carrington had lost. What happened there? Weren't they the clear cut #1 in state going into Districts and into Regionals? Were there any injuries or players that didn't play well or with foul trouble?
Rosenau must not have made plays and I remember Sheer being a lights out shooter.
Great for Midkota and Lakota A/E - two teams that are very young and athletic. That region will be fun to watch over the next couple years

Thompson had 19 points the first half and picked up some quick fouls in the third quarter. SHe scored 4 points the second half. With 5 minutes to go in the third, Carrington was up 14. Lead cut to 8 at end of third quarter and the noose tightened. Carrington just lost it in the fourth quarter. When Thompson fouled out it was Kaos for the Cardinals. Carrington scored 4 points in the 4th quarter and missed some great looks. I've never seen this group rattled like they were in the 4th quarter last night and they have played in some big games. Appeared as though the pressure was too much.
Credit Midkota for not losing their heads and hitting some HUGE shots when they had to. In Thompson's defense, she really got robbed on a couple fouls but it shouldn't have mattered. Carrington cruised to a 29 point victory over Midkota a couple weeks ago but last night it was not to be.
Congrats to Midkota. Thursday night should be a great game between them and Lakota.

Their achilles heel tho is a too many turnovers and a tendency toward foul trouble, especially amongst the big girls. region 8 will be fun to watch since the strong teams are all young. new town plays i think 2 seniors, watford 1 and parshall 2. since i'm a parshall fan, my opinion is geared toward p-town. the smooth woods girl is a soph, the great little gaurd for parshall, the risan girl is only a freshman and the 6'1" hustler, cheyenne packineau is also a frosh. parshalls gonna make some noise up here for the next couple years...
