ND Class B Basketball Tourney to “The Betty,” in 2020

Grand Forks  (Forum News Service)  The North Dakota High School Activities Association has announced that the 2020 state Class B tournament will be moved from the Minot State Dome to Betty Engelstad Sioux Center, in Grand Forks, in March.

NDHSAA Executive Director Matt Fetsch said the decision “was based on venue availability. The Betty was available in 2020 and not in 2021. The MSU Dome was available in 2021, so we made the swap.

“Facility-wise, (the 2019 tournament) couldn’t have gone a whole lot better. It was as good as we could expect. It’s 100 percent positive from those involved. It was a good experience for the girls, too.”

The 2019 state championship game between Kindred and Rugby set a building attendance record with 3,387 fans.
