By comparison, I think it's interesting to note the difference between Class "B" and Class "A" ball in terms of how difficult it is to reach the state tournament. I think the achievement of making state is more special in the "B" because schools can go 20 or 30 years between trips. Meanwhile, because there are so few Class "A" schools, the same teams tend to go year after year, making the achievement somewhat less significant. Just take a look at the next list of North Dakota Class "A" State Tournament appearances, and you can see what I mean--Matt Olien
