We had Curt Honeyman when it was just Regent, and it seem like every yera he would have us contending for a regional championship with only 12-15 guys in the HS playing. That was a big accomplishment, since we were regularily beating towns at least 4X our size in enrollment. Now with it being Mott/Regent, we convinced John Butterfield to come out of retirement, and if you remember, he coached some great years in Hettinger's high time in the 80's, then went to Harding County, SD for like 4-6 years and produced vvery good teams. You saw him do it agian this yr with Mott/Regent, doing what no one thought our district could do again Beulah, Killdeer, Trinity, R/T, and hazen. We upset Killdeer and nearly upset Trinity, and in my opinion, gave them the biggest test in the regional tournament. He did this with a team that played 10 players the whole game, without have anyone who averaged more that like 13 ppg...no stars. Just commitment. Both coaches get the most out of their players.

Cooter Symington, around 10 years as coach, 2 state appearances, 1 title, out of a tough region 2. Both state teams were not expected to get as far as they did.
Eddie Beyer best of all-time.

by far the best of all time.
baller01, do you happen to know if Carr coached in Minnesota before ND and if so how many wins he has there??
Well most schools don't have the budget to go out and get players like they do. But in all reality they are getting the job done year after year. Grinnsteiner is probably the most successful coach in the last 15 years. Dwyer keeps getting his team to state.Nodak Guy wrote:Most of you might not like this answer, but you have to start thinking about Grinsteiner at Trinity and Dwyer at Shiloh. I know, private schools. But they are still getting to the show. Comments??

The job of mentoring alot of young men came pretty easy to him. Look at where some of his boy's are now. Ben and Matt Jacobson, Swift, Klabo's, Ewen, and the list could go on and on. The point lots of trips to the State Class B. Alot of young men learned lessons on the court and in the classroom.
