<p>The first day of the State Tournament is in the books. It was an excellent opening day of the Class B State Tournamnet. Tomorrow will be even better. The Region 3 Champions, LaMoure-Litchville/Marion just beat Grafton 52-49 in the nightcap of day 1. The Loboes are representing Region 3 well. Good luck to the Loboes in the State Semifinals tomorrow! With that said, let’s take a look at PHD’s version of the All-Region 3 Team. </p>
