Commentary
Due to injuries Stanley hasn’t been whole for large parts of the season, but they have everyone back together now and seem poised to go to the state tournament for the first time since 1938. Juniors Wyatt Hanson and Kaedyn Hanson should be able to carry the Blue Jays past Deyondre Simpson, Jelani Foote and Parshall. Region 8 may have the most teams with a chance to win the region championship in the state. Stanley, Parshall, Trinity Christian, Kenmare, and New Town all have a shooters chance at going all the way.
