Fargo South vs. Dickinson: Standouts

Dickinson, ND - We had an East vs. West matchup today in western ND. Coming into this game, the Bruins had a 1-0 record and the Midgets had a 1-1 record. This was a fun game to take in; it is rare to see Fargo South go up against Dickinson. We would have to pull out the history books to see the last time the Bruins battled the Midgets. I imagine it was years ago at the State Tournament (early 2000's?).
