Let the battle begin! I don’t know how it’ll all shake out in the end, but I feel like this season has a chance to be one of the most competitive years in Class A boys basketball in quite some time. My preseason number one will just be trying to make it back to state after a two-year absence. Meanwhile, the four teams that I have listed on the...

The 2021 high school volleyball season is in the books and congratulations to all the teams, especially the state champions from Bismarck Century and Linton-HMB!

After the 2020 season brought us a double dose of perfection, I’m curious what 2021 has in store. Bismarck Century enters the year on a 22-match win streak after winning its fifth title in six years. Linton-HMB finished off a perfect season by sweeping Langdon-Edmore-Munich for the state championship last fall. I see those two programs being the favorites again in their respective classes, but you know the rest of the contenders will be hunting for those upsets throughout the year.

From sixteen teams to ten. That’s the change taking place at the division featuring the biggest enrollments in North Dakota high school football. As if that change isn’t enough, there will be an imbalance in the class with six teams from the western side of the state and only four from the east. Sheyenne and Century alone graduated some tremendous talent from their rosters that helped them reach the Dakota Bowl last fall. But those programs have proven they can reload year in and year out. Take a look at my preview that includes top teams and players in the 11AA division.

The new 11A class is another difficult one to predict because we’re about to see a lot of programs compete against one another for either the first time or the first time in a long time. Fargo North, Fargo South, Grand Forks Red River, Grand Forks Central and Dickinson have always competed in the same division as the biggest schools, but this year they’ll be in the second tier for the Class A schools. It’s a change that’ll take a lot of getting used to, but ultimately, I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out. Read on to find out who I think will be the top competition in 11A this fall.
