Commentary
Northern Cass is the defending region champion and comes in as the favorite this year. If 6-6 Sr. Marcus Jensen can improve on the offensive end they will be able to rely on his protection around the rim, which is something they didn’t have late in games last season. A previously young Oak Grove team is now experienced and brings back two of the most talented scorers in the region with Bakkegard and Christianson. Fairmount (ND)-Campbell/Tintah(MN) is now new co-op Tri-State as they bring Rosholt, SD into the cooperative.
Dark Horse
Enderlin. Peter Lindgren is a talented player that averaged almost 14 points per game on a team that was dominated last year by Mr. Basketball candidate Graham Hurlburt. Chance Bye really came on during the postseason as a freshman and will now be asked to lead Enderlin as their point guard. Bye is a great outside shooter who will only improve as he gets stronger.
