Some of the top teams in Class A don’t play at all over the holiday break but there are still some intriguing matchups this week at the Class B level. Here are some games to watch for:
Grafton vs. Kindred – Thursday, December 27
One of the headline games in the Hillsboro Holiday Hoops showcase as this one could be a state tournament preview. Grafton is undefeated and one of the elite teams in Class B while Kindred has clearly separated itself as a contender out of Region 1.
Thompson vs. Four Winds/Minnewaukan – Thursday, December 27
Another one of the headline games in the Hillsboro Holiday Hoops showcase features another potential state tournament matchup as Thompson is also undefeated in Region 2 and looking like a legitimate top-5 team in Class B while Four Winds/Minnewaukan is always one of the best teams in the state. The Indians are 7-2 on the season but they’ve got a number of very nice wins to their resume.
Rugby vs. Shiloh – Thursday, December 27
This should be one of the best games of the week as Rugby is No. 2 in the North Dakota Class B QRF heading into the week while Shiloh is No. 18. Those rankings may not be the end all especially at this point in the season but both teams are clearly very good. The Panthers are undefeated on the season sporting two wins over Harvey/Wells County and most recently a win over Mohall-Lansford-Sherwood. Shiloh is 6-2 on the year with wins over good teams like Killdeer, Dickinson Trinity and Underwood.
