I did this forum in the Class A & B boys forum. I would love to hear everyone's Darkhorse to state? KEEP IN MIND, everyone knows a darkhorse is a team that is talented, but looking at the field would have a pretty small chance of making a state tournament, but if the moons aligned, it could happen, this is a team outside of the top 20 or maybe #18 +? (teams that could be playing on Saturday of Area Tournaments attempting to punch their ticket to state. Try to make it a team outside of the top 20? It doesn't have to be, it just makes the discussion fun.

I expect them to jump higher in the rankings this week. Just somebody that no one is talking about. Could also throw Thomas in there too.

I think they have a good chance of being an Area tournament team in a tough Area.. I mean, if all the cards fell right, they could make it out of the Area.

Yes. They have some good players that are playing well right now.

They just beat #5 Garber, who did have a starter on crutches, and are very well coached. Made that deep run last year, so it’s a possibility.

Without the Washington girl Garber is very, very average. Pond Creek girls lost by 4 in OT to them without Washington. I'm sure Turpin is a fine team, but I wouldn't read too much into the Garber win. Just saying.

I really hate to hear that. I pray she makes it back for the playoffs. That’s tough for the kid, the family, and the team. With her on the court, I see them as potential semifinal team.

I actually think they get to state even without her. I haven’t seen OBA, but I don’t see any real darkhorse in this area and think these are favorable matchups for Garber (with all due respect to Ripley and Frontier).

OBA is really good — with the Garber injury, it definitely opens up the door for several teams to get in as the second team behind Seiling. Personally, I think it’ll be OBA or Frontier.

Just watched some OBA film and am 100% with you. I’ll take them punching their ticket if Garber is not full strength. And even if they are, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see OBA pull that one out. Just not sure their lack of deep playoff experience can overcome Garber’s size, strength, athleticism, and experience.

In a matchup of teams with relatively similar makeup and ability, I like OBA over Frontier based on defense. A little more aggressive and effective in both man and trapping. Frontier just a step slower at times.
