West River Action
with Jeff Baranick

Beulah -- A state champion has been crowned in North Dakota girls’ prep hoops! On Saturday evening, the top-ranked and undefeated Beach Buccaneers won their first state B title in two decades with a 66-57 victory over the Central Cass Squirrels. Leading the Bucs to their 26th win of the season were Brittney Dietz, Emily Hardy, & Abby Weinreis. The trio notched double figures in scoring (Dietz tallying 20 points in the title tilt, Hardy 18, and Weinreis 14), and each was named to the All-Tournament team. In fact, Dietz was also selected as tournament MVP. Squirrels’ Jr P Taylor Kraft paced her team in defeat with 26 points. In the tourney, Beach outlasted Thompson in overtime in the quarter-final round, 76-66, and then blasted #2 Carrington in the semis 67-38. Other placers at state included Carrington taking 3rd, Standing Rock 4th, and Kenmare claiming 5th. Stanley, Kidder County, & Thompson took 6th through 8th places, respectively. Kidder County’s Sr. All-State F Eli Benz concluded her brilliant prep career in style, scoring 31 points and snaring 10 rebounds in the Pirates’ Saturday win over Thompson. Benz was also named Class B Senior Athlete of the Year in girls’ basketball. Coach of the Year in the Class B girls’ prep ranks was Jason Brend of Thompson. In Class B boys’ post-season action, district tournaments concluded all across the state on March 1 & 2. In Districts 14 & 13, championships were claimed by Beulah and Bowman County, respectively. In dramatic fashion, Beulah overcame its only deficit in the game in the last 4.4 seconds to prevail over top-seeded and 3rd-ranked Dickinson Trinity 66-64. Playing hero for the Miners was 5’9” Sr G Denver Unruh who split two defenders at mid-court and banked in a running 3-pointer just ahead of the buzzer. Pacing Beulah to its scintillating win was 6’2” Soph F Casey Duppong with 19 points. Also netting 19 counters was Trinity Sr G Robbie Morey. Bowman County upended top-seeded Beach 52-44 in the District 13 title game. All those championship-game contestants earned themselves berths in this week’s Region 7 tournament to be played at Dickinson Trinity’s Knights of Columbus Activities Center. First-round action commences this Monday afternoon (March 8), with FSR 1410 carrying two quarter-final games, and then at least one contest on the other two evenings of play. Monday’s pairings are the following:  Hazen v. Bowman County (3:00 pm MST); Trinity v. Heart River (4:30 pm MST); Killdeer v. Beach (6:00 pm MST); & Beulah v. Mott-Regent (7:30 pm MST). The Hazen and Beulah games throughout the tourney will be heard over the airwaves of FSR 1410. Both the Bison and Miners faced their regional opponents during the regular season. Hazen led the Bulldogs at each of the first three quarter-stops before stumbling in the 4th stanza and losing to Bowman County 62-55. Meanwhile, Beulah caught fire from the perimeter against the Wildfire in early February to race past Mott-Regent 86-49. Other area teams involved in boys’ regional tournament games are Washburn, New Salem, Turtle Lake-Mercer, Wilton-Wing, and Shiloh Christian in Region 5. Those teams will all be competing for a regional crown in Bismarck.  Finally, Class A schools were participating in their regional tournaments this past weekend, with West Region teams convening at the Bismarck Civic Center. On the girls’ side of the ledger, Century won a championship and will be joined by Williston, Minot, & Mandan in next week’s state tournament which will also be staged at the Civic Center. In boys’ action, Bismarck took West Region honors, defeating defending state champion Mandan by a deuce, 50-48. Joining the Demons and Braves at state will be Minot and Century. The State Super A tournament (girls and boys combined) will begin Thursday March 11 and conclude Saturday March 13.
