Recruiting Report: Carter Bonnema (2017)

<p>How important to West Fargo Sheyenne was 6-foot-4 forward <strong>Carter Bonnema</strong>?  As a sophomore on a young team only Eric Ringdahl and Gavin Moeller played more minutes.</p><p>Carter averaged between 5-6 points a game as a sophomore and gave his team 4-5 rebounds a night battling as the four man.  The Mustangs bring back everybody but the rotation could change as a lot of guys like Carter have spent all spring and summer working and competing.</p> <p>“I felt the summer went very well and I faced very good opponents which help improve my all around game,” Carter told PHD.</p> <p>Bonnema played with ECI Nagel over the summer and played very well around the basket.  PHD watched Carter at three different events and said this about an extensive viewing.</p> <p>“Carter is stronger than most on the floor with a wide frame and the knowledge of how to move his man down (or power him off the block cause the defense reacted late) and instantly get post position.  Carter’s strong shoulder turn into a balanced one hand hook was nearly unstoppable at times.”</p> <p>Next up is the winter and as we said in our Class A First Look article, this is a team looking at contending for state.  Why?  They bring back everybody and have tough group returning in Carter, Ringdahl, Moeller, Tyler Fritz, Cole Christensen, Andy Stephen, and others.”</p> <p>“We are hoping to be pretty good we did not lose anyone last year,” Carter said.  “We all have experience playing from last year.”</p>
