1975 Parshall
Parshall had a well balanced team in 1975 when they won the title.  They faced a scrappy Lehr team in the first round, then Mott, and finally the Larimore Polar Bears.  Larimore’s coach was former Parshall head coach and legend Bill Frueworth.  Parshall was coached by a great basketball mind - Whitey Bucholz.  It was an epic battle, with John Hauge supported by very capable team mates – any of which could bring the ball down court and/or be the leading scorer.  A huge Class B Tournament snowstorm capped off the weekend and forced many of the fans to find overnight accommodations in Bismarck.

2000 Semifinal between #1 Oak Grove and Sheyenne Minnewaukan
S-M down 17 points at halftime and ending up sending the game into overtime on a 3 at the end of the 4th quarter. Oak Grove won by 2 points in overtime. It was a game that was really exciting to watch, you were nervous for both teams.

2005 Championship Game - New Rockford-Sheyenne 67, Bottineau 65 (2 OT)
Michael Cudworth (NR-S) banks in a 18 footer to win the game in double overtime after being down by 16 points in the 4th quarter. Probably the best championship game to ever be played in Class B.
