Here's the thing on this whole disucussion: #1 I am from Tappen, and know we are not switching districts. We were going to petition get switched back but we figured that since it was going to be such an uneven number that ndhsaa would do something, but tehy didn't so we are still same district as before. #2 We will not be shutting down in the next 5 years, but our district is consoloidating leaving only the tappen and steele schools open. This will also be the last year for their boys basketball team. To also clear things up, there is a B-team and an A-team, THERE IS NO C-team. The C-team is no co-oped with steele. #3 I don't know when or where you heard or AD said anything about lamoure jv playing our varsity. Also nowhere has it said on any of the schedules i have seen anywhere that our varsity will be playing there jv. A reminder also, that if they would play their jv against our varsity and count it as a jv game i have might have an answer to that. Last year i watched two games between these two teams, and both games tappen led until 2 min left in the fourth quarter both games. I'm sure most of you heard the 2nd game on the radio when they were matched up in districts. So what does they say, are they scared that a team who is spose to be nothing but a bunch of scrubs is going to beat them, maybe, but i bet lamoure would also say that tappen was one of the teams that actually played em tough all year. Yes better than bakkum's pirates. No they didnt play them better than lmm apparently becuz lmm beat them, but that was also right at the beginning of the year. And no apparent the didnt play better than BCN. All i am saying is that, if your so good play em and whoop on em by 50 60 whatever they want, why waste you time playing another game in one that you might lose, when you can use that game as a practice and save yourselves for a big game. and finally #4 tappen will have 5 seniors and 1 junior who will see alot of playing time this year returning to the team, the of which were starters last year. These 6 have been playing together since the 7th grade, so i wouldnt count them out to much and agree with what the hoopster says this year. I heard they beat valley city's class A team or somein down in the fall league a couple weeks ago so dont write em off just yet. If you have any questions concerning the lamoure game i will be finding out tomorrow from our AD if he has said this and we have not been informed.
