The ND Class B Power Rankings Week 12

Michael Herrick March 7, 2021 @ 02:21 PM

The teams that are in Super Regions did not play this week. They had a first-round bye. The teams that have Districts played games. We are officially 1 day away from Regional Tournaments starting. Next week at this time we will only have 8 teams left in Class B basketball. I cannot wait! It is going to be a week filled with drama, heartbreak, excitement, euphoria, adrenaline, and happiness. I hope everyone has a safe week and that you have a chance to enjoy watching some great basketball. Who are your favorites to make the State Tournement? This is our last top-10 Power Rankings for the 2020-2021 season. Next week we will rank the top teams headed to the State Tournament. Here are the ND Class B Power Rankings, a list of #1 to 10.
