Commentary
After a first round sweep the Region 6 semifinals matchups are identical to the District 12 semifinals. In the district tournament Bishop Ryan defeated Des Lacs-Burlington by two and Our Redeemer’s defeated Berthold by 1. Those roles reverse this time around and Des Lacs-Burlington moves on to defeat Berthold to advance to their first state tournament appearance since 1998.
