For the Bismarck Demons, all that was left to play for was a trip to State against Dean Winczewski’s Minot Magicians. This game had ebb and flow with both teams riding a roller coaster. Every time the Demons would make a run, Minot would answer with a run of their own.
The Demons would get critical free throws when Jordan Pintar stepped up. Esley Thorton led the Demons with 24 points, but earlier in the tournament Bismarck didn’t look like they had fresh legs. This is the Demons 16th trip to state. Final Score: Bismarck – 62, Minot – 58.
