March % and %. however. as the
state under the new system Is made
up Of eight regions, each including
two districts Champions Of the two

resent the region at the state tourney.

same as the old eight districts. are

the number Of high schools and stu
dents included III each. There has
been considerable realignment in the

to II high schools within its bound
lries.
Region A includes the First and
Second districts: B the Third and

Tourney Sites Chosen
Sites for the regional championship
games follow: A. Fargo; B, James
town: G. Mandan: D. Dickinson: E.
Grand Forks: F. undecided; G. Minot:
and H, Williston.
The greatest departure from the
old district system is in Region H.
which is composed of the old Eighth
district plus the west end Of the old
Seventh district. The old Eighth
district always had been the smallest
in numbers in the state and was q
constant source of criticism and dis
content ON the part of the more
crowded districts. The addition this
year gives this region one OF the
large high schools, Williston, and
adds enough other schools to bring it
up on par in, numbers with the
others.
