Plains Tournament Trivia: |
| Pleasant Plains set two
tournament marks for fewest points
allowed in 2008 when they allowed 85 in
their first three games and 127 for the
tournament. The Cardinals' M-WHT debut
occurred in 2006 where they have gone a
combined 9-9 since.
Pleasant
Plains particiapted in one of the longest
tournament games in history in 2007 when
the Cardinals were ousted 86-77 in four
overtimes by Lewistown.
Rushville
outlasted Galva 100-88 in 1963. That was
the only other tournament game to go four
overtime periods.
That 4OT
loss to Lewistown in 2007 made it two
straight years where the tournament's top
seed failed to make it to the
championship matchup.
Pleasant
Plains had been no stranger to Western
Hall prior to entering the M-WHT as they
made several appearances as a Super
Sectional qualifier. Here's the
