Here are some of the top games on the schedule this week:
Underwood vs. Linton/HMB – Thursday, Jan. 3
Underwood is off to a terrific start this season, winning eight of its first 10 games while Linton/HMB is a good week away from surpassing its win total from a season ago. This one should be close as both teams have played in their share of nip-and-tuck affairs and both excel on the defensive end of the floor.
Richland vs. LaMoure/Litchville-Marion – Saturday, Jan. 5
Richland is off to a solid start to the season and has done extremely well in tight games this season. The Loboes have been very good early in the season as well and are winning by an average margin of 18 points per game. The Colts haven’t been the most consistent offensive team but they’ve proven they can find ways to win. Last year this game was a blowout. It should be much closer this time around.
Grafton/St. Thomas vs. Park River/Fordville-Lankin – Saturday, Jan. 5
Grafton looks like not only one of the best teams in Region 2 but one of the best teams in all of Class B. The Aggies are one of the most improved teams in the state and on pace to crush their 10 win total from a year ago. Can they challenge the top-shelf clubs in the region? This is a litmus test game for them.
