🏀 1979 ND BOYS STATE B TOURNAMENT 🏀 The 1979 State B Tournament featured five of the top six ranked teams in North Dakota: #1 Larimore Polar Bears, #2 Berthold Bombers, #3 Karlsruhe Tigers, #4 Sargent Central Cadets, and #6 Halliday Wolverines, alongside tournament contenders Cando Cubs, Linton Lions, and Mott Cardinals. 🏛️ QUARTERFINALS Game 1: Linton Lions vs #1 Larimore Polar Bears Linton deployed a swarming, suffocating defense on Larimore's standout center, Dan Shide, preventing him from establishing an inside presence. Backed by Paul Balliet’s 13 first-half points, the Lions jumped out to a 28-18 lead at intermission. Larimore charged back out of the locker room, draining their first four shots of the second half to cut the deficit to 28-26. However, Linton's Lenny Ohlhauser put the team on his back, scoring all 12 of his team's second-half points to hold off the top-ranked Polar Bears for a thrilling two-point upset. Final Score: Linton 40, #1 Larimore 38 Scoring Leaders: LINTON: Lenny Ohlhauser 14, Paul Balliet 13 LARIMORE: Brad Swanson 10 Game 2: #4 Sargent Central Cadets vs. Mott Cardinals The Cadets could not miss early, hitting their first 10 consecutive shots to race out to a 25-17 first-quarter lead. Mott relentlessly chipped away, catching the Cadets at 32-32 just before halftime, though Sargent Central held a slim 34-32 edge at the break. The Cadets extended the margin back to five points (51-46) by the end of the third. In a wild fourth quarter, Mott went on a furious run to take a 63-61 lead with 2:20 remaining. Refusing to break, Sargent Central locked down and scored the final seven points of the game to secure the victory. Final Score: #4 Sargent Central 68, Mott 63 Scoring Leaders: CADETS: Steve Larson 19, Mike Sundquist 16, Curt Kretchman 11, Lenny Pherson 10 MOTT: Paul Naaden 28, Dave Johnson 12, Jackie Griffin 11 Game 3: #2 Berthold Bombers vs. Cando Cubs After a tightly contested first quarter that saw Berthold ahead 16-12, the Bombers completely took over the game. Berthold dominated the second and third frames, outscoring Cando 33-16 over that stretch to build an insurmountable 49-28 lead heading into the final quarter. From there, the Bombers cruised to a comfortable 22-point win. Final Score: #2 Berthold 64, Cando 42 Scoring Leaders: BERTHOLD: Steve Hall 16, Bruce DeBilt 12, Randy Luetzen 12, Lance Brockel 10 CANDO: Mark Haugen 11, Todd Trudel 10 Game 4: #6 Halliday Wolverines vs. #3 Karlsruhe Tigers This matchup was a classic game of massive scoring runs. Halliday exploded early in the second quarter to open up a commanding 30-14 lead, but Karlsruhe stormed back with a vengeance to cut the deficit to 38-32 at halftime. The Wolverines rebuilt a 16-point cushion in the third quarter, only for the resilient Tigers to pull back within six points at 60-54. The final, decisive blow belonged to Halliday, who closed out the game with a devastating 26-8 run to turn a close battle into a blowout.

Sargent Central's big man, Steve Larson, took over in the second quarter, fueling a push that gave the Cadets a 29-24 lead at the break. Sargent Central broke the game open in the third quarter, spurting out to a 43-32 advantage. The Lions fought hard but were unable to recover from the double-digit deficit as the Cadets booked their ticket to the championship.

This attack allowed the Wolverines to maintain a steady 5-to-7 point cushion for most of the night. Berthold’s chances were severely hampered when star Steve Hall picked up three quick fouls in the first quarter and a devastating fourth just before halftime. Halliday held quarter-break leads of 19-13, 33-26, and 47-40. Berthold managed to narrow the gap to 63-59 late, but Halliday held firm to advance.

Halliday continued to push in the third, extending their lead to 46-43. However, foul trouble proved to be the turning point, as two of Halliday's star players entered the final frame saddled with four fouls. Sargent Central's powerhouse Steve Larson ruthlessly exploited this advantage in the paint. Utilizing his superior size and strength against a cautious Wolverine defense, Larson scored a game-high 25 points as the Cadets outmanned and outscored Halliday in the final eight minutes to secure the 1979 State B Title.
