Top Five Performances
- North Dakota bound guard Aanen Moody of Dickinson went for 26 points and 11 rebounds in a win over Saint Marys. Moody now has 1,911 career points which is good for third best in Class A history.
- Also in the Dickinson win NDSU bound Jordan Meidinger had 26 points on 10 of 17 shooting plus grabbed 16 rebounds. The Midges beat Saint Mary’s 82-72.
- U of Mary bound Justin Engg was a playmaker right from the start in Minot’s 75-60 win over Bismarck. He had 24 points, ten rebounds, and early assists. KyJuan Johnson supported with 16 points and six assists, Peyton Lamoreaux had double figures led by three three-pointers.
- Sophomore Rayman Zimmerman hit three triples and scored 24 for Grant County in a loss. Zimmerman is a six foot wing playing on a struggling team.

Top Five Good Wins
- Another top performance came from DJ LeBeau who had a Tuesday high of 28 points (tied) leading New Town to a 12-5 record beating TLMM in a big way (74-47). DJ, or Daniel LeBeau Jr, is a 5-foot-9 junior guard and this was not only a top performance but a big win for his team.
- Linton-HMB defeated Ellendale 65-47 and 6-foot-3 senior Jared Baumiller had 26 points while 6-foot-4 big Cole Vanderlaan had 18. Holding Brennan Vance and Hunter White to a combined 16 was even more impressive.
- Dickinson Trinity moved Mott-Regent to 13 wins on the year with a 65-55 victory. Lucas Jones had one of his better games of the year as the senior scored 21 from his guard spot. Six-foot-4 senior Shawn Stoltz scored a dozen in support.
- Richardton-Taylor was able to bypass the 28 points scored (a Tuesday high with LeBeau) by Isaac Doll using balance to get a 69-64 victory. The Raiders had four guys in double figures led by 17 from six foot junior guard Matthew Neumann.
- WF Sheyenne and Devils Lake are both hot right now. Sheyenne beat Shanley by eight and Devils Lake got past GFRR by two with Jacob Mertens leading the way with 23.
Top Five You Made Your Point!
- Four Winds-Minnewaukan hammered Rugby 83-32. Tronis McKay had 26, Steve Redfox had 25 led by his five three-point makes, and Irv Tomahawk scored 14.
- Stanley improved to 11-5 on the year with an 82057 win over North Shore who is a solid team at 10-5 but the play of Wyatt Hanson was the difference. He scored 29 points and had two highlight dunks.
- Heart River improved to 12-5 crushing New England 79-36. Senior Dion Madler scored 21 and senior forward Zane Besler put up 20 in the win.

- Fargo South over Fargo North 72-69. Huge win for the Bruins who are now 5-11 on the season.
- The surprise is that Strazburg/Zeeland has rebounded from an early season five game losing streak to win five of their last seven and get to .500. They are 8-8 after beating South Border 73-50. The balanced effort was led by 19 points from 6-foot-4 junior Stetson Haak, 18 from senior Hunter Huizenga, and 16 from junior Tanner Goebel.
