Make no sense to have 5 classes for Football: AAA, AA, A, 9 Man, & 6 Man, but two classes for basketball: Class A & B. There's more basketball teams than football teams.
If we get a third class in the future it should be Class AA, A, & B, instead of A, B, & C

In boys basketball the same names keep coming to state tournament year after year. Examples of this Shiloh 7,Fargo oak Grove 5, Four winds 5,Beulah 5, Dickinson Trinity 4, Grafton 3, Hillsboro 3, North Star 3, New town 3, Linton 3, Cavalier 2, Richland 2, Lamoure 2 these are your multiple winners and if you would look some regions have been dominated by couple of teams. Similar things are happening on girls side as well and it usually larger or private schools dominating teams heading to state. I don't see much change in this and if there is any change number schools coming to the state is even going to be less. Gone is the day where you had small class b school coming to state with chance to win the state. I don't remember when we had real small class b school make the state and then even win first round game at the tournament.

B-oldtimer wrote:I believe one of the plans I saw here on three classes I looked up schools that would be in that class third class smallest schools would have been down to 130 in high school with that third class being made up 32 teams. That roughly means remaining class b schools roughly 75 to 80 schools would be below that 130 level so you see meaning of small class b Changed.
B-oldtimer wrote:I would say to me small class b school would be under 80 kids in high school tell me how many schools have reached state tournament in last few years in that category. Even when North Star was going it was 85 to 90 kids in high school.
Return to Basketball - Class B
