Game was close until 2 minutes to go when Hillsboro started to foul and DP made free throws. Hillsboro actually had a 7 point lead at the half.

FLPR knocked out Dakota Prairie last year- yes or no (I'm pretty sure on this one)
FLPR knocked out Dakota Prairie the year before? (not so sure about this one)
If things pan out, they could be the ones to take them out again. I would say there is pressure
on two teams, obviously Grafton- for being the #2 team in the state polls
and probably more so on DP, who has had a tough time the last two years.
Comments?
More on the upcoming games,
Midway-Minto plays Hillsboro, now I would personally put Hillsboro as the favorite, although they've lost two games that make me wonder how consistent they are- (one game to Hatton-Northwood early in the year and one to Thompson not that long ago. the loss to thompson they avenged easily, and some would say Hatton-Northwood is a good team, although I disagree. That loss to H-N was early in the year and I tend to not put so much weight on games early in the year, because things usually change. They gave DP a better run the 2nd time around but still seem to be a few notches under them.
Throw in M-Minto's experience and slow-it-down approach and I think they have a chance to knock off Hillsboro in the first round. It will be interesting. What does everyone think?

This time the younger players that DP play will be better and I think they will win.

Grafton didn't have there best first half of basketball that game just like DP didn't have a good third period. If Grafton comes out and plays 4 qtrs of basketball it will be the same result as the last time they met in my opinion. I also think DP won't have an easy match up with FLPR in the Semi's.
