If it's always going to be R1 vs. R2 and R3 vs. R4, I know which side of the state I'd rather be on if I want a better chance to get to state in those play-in games.
Just a thought.

200,000 is very much untrue. However, the 40,000 is a reality. What is the population of Kindred, maybe 1,000?

Or not... I guess they are ok with the NE having 6 teams...
It will be interesting to see how that affects the current set up. Do they try to get close to equal teams in each region or do they keep with more geography? To me it doesn't make sense to have 6 teams in a couple regions and 9 in another.
“TBD”

In a hypothetical scenario, this year's field would've likely included Central Cass, Thompson, Shiloh, Des Lacs-Burlington, Beulah, then Wahpeton, Devils Lake and Turtle Mountain instead of Warwick, Medina and Powers Lake.
This year's hypothetical Class B State Tournament could have included Warwick, Medina, Powers Lake, along with Bishop Ryan, Bowman County, North Prairie, North Star and Sargent County.
That sounds like 2 really great tournaments to me.

If you are from Devils Lake or Bishop Ryan. This years tournament was very good.

I would be, Devils Lake is absolutely loaded. If both are healthy I think it’s 20 plus pretty easy for DL

Is Thompson the 2nd best team in that class or am I missing someone?

Anything is possible, but Devils Lake is the clear favorite. Not sure if Thompson is 2nd best in the middle class next year. They should be up there. Teams like Kindred and Central Cass, probably Four Winds as they seem to reload every year will be very good as well. I'm not as familiar with the West teams. Who are the favorites from that side of the state next year?

Field or DL, I’ll go with DL
Field or BR, I’ll take the field
