There may not be quite the high-profile games this week compared to the ones last week but there are a handful of intriguing matchups featuring potential contenders.
Here are some games to pay attention to this week in Class B:
Hettinger/Scranton vs. Grant County – Tuesday, Dec. 11
Grant County took one on the chin last week in the championship game of the New Salem Invitational, losing by 30 to Kidder County. Can the Coyotes bounce back against a solid Hettinger/Scranton squad? The Night Hawks are 4-1 and just won the Roughrider Tournament in convincing fashion, winning three games by at least 18 points including a 65-47 win over Killdeer.
Harvey/Wells County vs. Rugby – Tuesday, Dec. 11
A rematch of the CNDC Tournament championship game from a week ago that was one of the best games of the young season in Class B. Rugby won 44-41 to secure the tournament title. Anni Stier and Karsyn Hager lead a very good Rugby team that is off to a 5-0 start on the season. Four of those wins have been in blowout fashion. Harvey/Wells County is 4-1 and should expect to contend in Region 4. Can the Hornets get revenge for that close loss last week?
LaMoure/Litchville-Marion vs. Milnor/North Sargent – Friday, Dec. 14
Milnor/North Sargent won just nine games last season but looks like it could be one of the most improved teams in the state this winter. Off to a 3-1 start with just a tight loss to Enderlin, the Bulldogs get a good litmus test game Friday when they face LaMoure/Litchville-Marion. The Loboes are 4-0 to start the year with several quality wins including one over Enderlin to win the Barnes County Tournament championship.
