Minot vs. Sheyenne: Impressive Players

West Fargo, ND - Day 2 at Sheyenne did not disappoint! #3 Ranked Minot ended up winning today but there was never a dull moment! Late in the game, it seemed as if Minot would roll to a comfortable win but the Mustangs charged back and made it interesting. Sheyenne had a chance to tie the game at the end but they could not get the triple to drop. Both teams played hard and battled until the bitter end.   These squads looked good for this early in the year, I expect these two teams to win many games throughout the season. From the looks of things, both teams have the talent to make a serious State Tournament run.   We are looking at Impressive players from today's WDA vs. EDC matchup.
