DAKOTA SHOWCASE
POOL PLAY
IBCA SELECT RED 69, NORTHERN LITES 31

It was déjà vu all over again. Another game, another Massacre. This was the final contest in the Friday Pool action. It seemed I was watching the same game over and over in a groundhog day time warp. This time IBCA Select Red turned off the Northern Lites 69-31. Again it was over rather quickly as IBCA jumped out to a 9-0 lead which ballooned to 36-10 at halftime. Again IBCA had enough to win the game after sixteen minutes. Again it was a 120s to 50s pp100 contest. Again speed, skill and veterans took the contest.

Most of the Northern Lites are from South Dakota with a sprinkling of Minnesota players. Most are 2010 players with a sprinkling of 2009s. NL struggled with their offense against the defensive variety of IBCA. NL had droughts of 7, and another 7 in the first half. The droughts were less frequent in the second half, but the parched landscape remained.
