EDC Playoffs: Standouts

Fargo, ND - Thursday was a wild day of basketball at the SHAC in north Fargo. Two teams saw their season end and two punched their tickets to the State tournament.   West Fargo locked up on defense and made play after play when they needed it to knock off the mighty Eagles from Davies. Red River found themselves in a double-digit hole but battled back and won with a last-second shot from [player_tooltip player_id='1169135' first='Pearce' last='Parks']. Both squads are headed to State and will play for the EDC Championship on Saturday evening.   "We were down 20 around the 14 minute mark. The boys were challenged at half to get out and guard the shooters tight. If they go to the basket, help and recover flying out with hands up. Once we got a few stops, we took advantage by going to the rim against their zone. We didn't settle for shots and tried to find gaps as best we could. The BLOB was a play we put in a few weeks ago. Klef had a great tip pass to Parks which gave him enough time to gather himself and shoot the fade." -Kirby Krefting   Saturday Matchups   Davies vs. West Fargo Sheyenne (Winner advances to State,
