56 57 2004 STATE GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ BASKETBALL 2004 STATE GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ BASKETBALL NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL OFFICIALS HALL OF FAME

DEL GAB While Del Gab has established himself as one of the top multi-sport officials in North Dakota history during the past 45 years, his contributions in the areas of recruitment, training, mentoring and promotion of officiating at the local, state and national levels have been equally impressive.

A native of South Dakota, Gab began his officiating career in 1957 in basketball with the South Dakota High School Activities Association. He moved to North Dakota in 1960 and worked boys’ basketball until 1992. He also officiated girls basketball from 1973 to 1990. Gab’s post-season assignments in basketball included 14 boys’ district tournaments, eleven boys’ and nine girls’ regionals, and three girls’ state tournaments.

Although he worked baseball and softball for a few years and was a track starter for nine years, football became his sport of choice. He began football officiating in 1971 and remains active today. He has officiated 43 first-round and quarterfinal games, 21 semifinals and nine championship games in North Dakota. He officiated the first eleven- man football championship game in North Dakota in 1976.

In addition to his high school assignments, Gab officiated college basketball from 1974 to 1992 and college football from 1975 to 1994, and for a final year in 1999.

More importantly than the games he has officiated, however, are the hundreds of new and younger officials who have benefited from Gab’s leadership. He started the Rough Rider Officials Association mentoring program in 1973 and continues with that program today. He is a consultant for the North Dakota High School Association and assignor of officials for playoff games in southwest North Dakota. He has been an observer and evaluator of football and basketball officials for the past 25 years.

Gab was president of the North Dakota Officials Board for ten years and has served as state director for the NFHS Officials Association since 1984. He was an NFHS Officials Association board member from 1988 to 1993 and was president during the 1991-92 year. His most recent contribution to the NFHS has been his service as a member of the NFHS Official’s Quarterly Publications Committee for seven years.

Gab earned his bachelor’s degree from Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and his master’s and doctorate from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks.

Among his awards, Gab has received an NFHS Officials Association Distinguished Service Award in 1995 and the NFHS Citation for Officials in 1997.

Still active as an insurance agent and football coach, Gab resides in Dickinson, North Dakota, with his wife Joyce.

NORTH DAKOTA SCHOOL PARTICIPANTS IN CLASS A SPORTS 1914 to 2004 Compiled by: Bob Schaible

STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS CLASS A TOURNAMENT HISTORIES It was the usual practice to have a drawing to determine first round state tournament opponents regardless of season records. The governor of the state or some other official conducted a drawing for the state tournament teams from 1914 to 1940. The teams were seeded into tournaments according to season records.

State tournaments were held over two days from 1914 to 1937. Games began on Friday morning at 10:00, and continued Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning, afternoon and evening. In the fall of 1937, the coaches also recommended a three-day tournament format instead of a two-day tournament. This plan went into effect the following year.

A challenge system developed in the Class A. Challenges from Class A schools lower in their divisions, and Class B schools, were allowed to challenge from 1933 till 1940. In some cases, schools played more than one challenge game in a season. The challenge had to be issued before December 31 each year. This was amended to January 21 in 1938. A team could withdraw the challenge by January 31.

1914-1919: All high schools were eligible for a four team state tournament: Four regional champions went to the state tournament. Approximately 20 teams played for the honor to enter into the state championship. 1919: Basketball was catching on. Four districts were firmly established: 36 teams played for the right to enter the state tournament.

1920-1932: All high schools played in an eight team state tournament: 1920: Eight regional champions went to the state tournament. A total of 48 high schools played basketball in the eight district tournaments. 1925: A total of 64 teams played for the right to participate in the state tournament. 1928: Sixteen sub-district tournaments were held, with playoffs between sub-districts within a district, for the right to play in the state tournament.

1933: State A playoffs began: holding regional and state tournaments. There were 9 teams in Class A basketball. They were: Minot, Mandan, Jamestown, and Bismarck played in the west. Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Fargo, Wahpeton and Valley City played in the east. Enderlin challenged Valley City and won. 1934: Playing this year were Grand Forks, Minot, Jamestown, Bismarck, Valley City, Mandan, Devils Lake, and Fargo. There were three challenge games. 1935: Teams: Grafton, Fargo, Mandan, Valley City, Wahpeton, Minot, Devils Lake, and Bismarck. Five challenge games were played. 1936: Twelve largest Class A schools (those over 250 students) played in the state tournament. Park River (Walsh County), Wahpeton, Dickinson and Williston joined Class A ranks. The top seeded teams from the each region received first round byes. Teams included: Bismarck, Devils Lake, Dickinson, Fargo, Grand Forks, Grafton, Jamestown, Mandan, Minot, Valley City, Wahpeton, and Williston. Two challenge games were played. 1937: Coaches recommend reducing the state tournament to eight teams. Schools were drawn by lot to participate in the state A tournament. Again, teams lower ranked the Class A or Class B schools could challenge those eight teams that, by luck, were drawn for the state tournament. Some teams felt that the challenge system was nothing more than a qualifying game for the state tournament. A total of two challenge games were played. 1938: The eight largest teams in Class A ranks. A total of six challenges were played. Larger Class B schools could issue challenges, when and if they had won the opportunity to go to the state tournament. The smaller school at Hannah challenged Williston and won.
