With races in the WDA and EDC both heating up, as well as positions in Region tournaments, teams will be jockeying for positioning heading into the postseason and hoping to establish positive energy down the stretch.
Here are some teams that had particularly good weeks:
Devils Lake
The Firebirds rolled through three more wins to stay perfect on the season, earning one of their best wins in the process. Devils Lake blew out Fargo South 79-46 Tuesday before beat Fargo Shanley – the No. 2 team in the EDC – 72-66 to essentially secure an EDC regular season title. The Firebirds ended the week with a blowout win over Minot.
Mandan
The Braves continued on their torrid pace, reaching 12 straight wins thanks to two more wins last week. Mandan earned a really good win, beating Bismarck Legacy 68-60 Tuesday before ending the week on a high note, beating Minot, 61-41.
Trenton
Trenton went into last week undefeated and stayed that way with four wins including one of much-needed signature variety. The Tigers blew out New Town, Lewis and Clark and Beach before capping off the week with a critical 54-52 win over Rugby Saturday in the Minot Auditorium Shootout.
Four Winds/Minnewaukan
The Indians picked up two blowout wins early in the week, beating New Rockford/Sheyenne and Lakota by a combined 70 points before earning a terrific win over Thompson, one of the top-10 teams in Class B.
