On the other end, the Governors have highlight athletes that can fly down the court and slam dunk with the best in the Dakotas. There will be plenty of excitement and scoring in this one.

Lennox @ Tea Area
The Orioles are 14-2 on the year and are receiving votes in Class A. The Titans are 10-5 this season and they are also receiving votes in Class A. This is a big rivalry game as the towns are only 9 miles apart from each other. These two teams know each other well. They are both in Region 4 and the DAK XII. This game is for bragging rights but will also have seeding implications in the Region. There is a good amount of star power in this game as well.
