Yes, baseball is seeded at the state tournament just like basketball and volleyball.
Are you talking legion? With 3 back from college?NDwriter wrote:Bottineau is my pick to come out of region 5. they have 4 senoirs returning 3 of which are playing in college. as well as a very solid group of juniors. Parker englehardt is a great hitter and very solid defensively good pitcher as well. They also got Adam Stenson who transferred from enderlin. he is a top pitcher in the state heard from his coaches in enderlin that he is as good a pitcher as anyone in the state both classes just has ego issues and isnt a great teammate. region 1 pick for me is Northern Cass they return almost everyone and are lead by a great pitcher in brennan thompson. they will be a very solid team and with region 1 losing a lot of players the talent level will not be as great as previous years. should be a great year of baseball.
You forgot Pembina county north. They ended up the 2 seed at the end of the year and they return everyone or almost everyone.B-oldtimer wrote:Park river should compete in region 4 but Park River high school team is not the legion team. Park river lost several players last year to graduation and they don't have Ben Phleps like they will in the legion season he pitches St.thomas/Drayton/Valley/Edingberg. I think Grafton should still have most depth of all the teams. Park River will compete, so will St. Thomas, and I think Langdon will be also contender or at least be able to beat a team if they can create some offense.

hook wrote:Grafton lost 7 players and all their good pitching from last years team... I wouldn't consider them deep. I think unless they can really put runs on the board they will have a tuff time with PR. PR on the other had lost 3 really talented kids and have arms but not many pitchers. Park River also has a TON of speed. Grafton has always put quality pitchers on the hill and developed over the winter some how. They also have the upper hand with veteran coaching and in spring baseball that is big. I have yet to see grafton play but did get a small dose of the minto/pc and PR/PC games and I think PR's jv would beat minto and PC varsity team.
He did a great job. And I believe only one walk, which is so important in HS baseball.Rivershark wrote:hook wrote:Grafton lost 7 players and all their good pitching from last years team...

Saw Jackson Hankey throw a no hitter against Pembina County last night.
I was a little worried about PRFL pitching depth with Ethan Peterson not playing. But after watching Hankey on the mound my worries have lessened. And if Will Zimmerman can hit the strike zone which he has to this point,(no one can hit him). I'm picking PRFL in the region.hook wrote:Grafton lost 7 players and all their good pitching from last years team... I wouldn't consider them deep.
