There haven’t been too many surprises early in the season but with a wealth of talent spread all over the state, there seems to be quite a bit of parity among teams in a lot of the regions. With that in mind, there are always opportunities for good wins and strong weeks. Here are a couple teams that pieced together strong weeks:
Carrington
The Cardinals earned a pair of hard-fought wins last week, starting with a 57-43 win over Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Tuesday. Carrington backed that up with an impressive 64-55 win over Four Winds/Minnewaukan. The Cardinals are 7-1 on the season with seven straight wins after a season-opening loss to Velva.
Kidder County
Kidder County is 10-0 on the season and winning by an average margin of 27.8 points per game. The Wolves had to earn a tough one Friday, as they beat LaMoure/Litchville-Marion 58-53. It was the first game in which the Wolves were truly tested and they passed it. Things will get a little tougher going forward but that’s a really nice win.
Bismarck Legacy
The Sabers are undefeated on the season and just picked up a great win last week, beating Bismarck St. Mary’s by 24 points. Legacy ended the previous week with a good win over a solid Dickinson team too so the Sabers are proving to be for real on this young season. The big tests are coming in the next few weeks with bouts against Mandan and Bismarck Century looming.
