The Spuds just started playing games last week and are 0-2 on the season so far before this game. Being that they are a Minnesota team they are required to wear masks while playing. The Mustangs are ranked #3 in our Power Rankings this week. Sheyenne is 11-1 and they are riding a 10-game win streak coming into the game. Halftime Score – Moorhead 32 West Fargo Sheyenne 36 Final Score – Moorhead 59 West Fargo Sheyenne 83 Made three-pointers: Moorhead = 9 West Fargo Sheyenne = 14 The Mustangs had an explosive second half and overwhelmed the Spuds. They put up 47 points and showed why they are one of the best teams in North Dakota. Here are the top players from tonight’s game: 1. Gage Anderson (2021) |5-10 G| West Fargo Sheyenne – 29 points with 7 three-pointers. Gage was on fire tonight! He had a nice quick backdoor cut and basket to start the game. After that, he began his 3-point shooting onslaught. I like how he gets his feet ready before the ball gets to him when spotting up for a shot. He plays and shoots with a cool demeanor. Gage did not only score from beyond the arc. He attacked the basket and finished at the rim. To sum up his night I would say, "Gage was red hot and knocked down 3’s with ease". Sheyenne is a very good team, with Gage scoring like this the Mustangs are close to being unstoppable. 2. [player_tooltip player_id="750185" first="Jah’Heem" last="Leake"] (2021) |6-8 F| West Fargo Sheyenne – 20 points with 3 three-pointers. He was impressive shooting outside tonight, he made back-to-back triples in the first half. I like watching him on the glass, he is great at high pointing the ball. Jah’Heem had a nice physical post-up finish and he showed off a slick spin-move in doing so. He is great at blocking and altering shots. I was impressed with his soft touch when throwing high-low passes. Leake has a new dunk to add to his highlight-reel. The slam was in transition, one-handed, rim-rocking, extremely athletic, and he was fouled on the finish. 3. [player_tooltip player_id="567055" first="Brady" last="Walthall"] (2021) |6-0 G| Moorhead – 23 points with 6 three-pointers and 5 of those came in the first half. Brady has a quick effortless shot that he can get off in a hurry. He was on a roll in the first half against the Sheyenne zone. Brady is a quick athletic guard that uses a burst of speed to create separation. 4. Dominic Dosmann (2022) |6-8 F| West Fargo Sheyenne – 9 points in the game. He altered and blocked shots around the rim tonight. He had couple of impressive physical finishes tonight. Dominic is an active player that does the little things to help his team. He was physical on the boards tonight. 5. [player_tooltip player_id="774882" first="Belind" last="Alemadi"] (2021) |6-1 G| Moorhead – 12 points in the game. He attacked the rim early and had an impressive physical finish. I like his pull-up jumper, it is smooth. Belind is a nice athlete that can finish in a variety of ways around the iron. He is at his best when playing fast and in transition. 6. [player_tooltip player_id="731876" first="Jacksen" last="Moni"] (2021) |6-10 F| West Fargo Sheyenne – 9 points in the game. He did not record big numbers in the game but his presence on defense made a big difference in this one. Jacksen had a great dime to start the game passing to Anderson on a backdoor cut. I was impressed with his long outlet passes that led to easy buckets. Jacksen is a force on the glass. I liked when he attacked off the bounce in the second half. 7. [player_tooltip player_id="1046354" first="Michael" last="Nhial"] (2022) |6-6 F| West Fargo Sheyenne – 10 points with 2 made triples. I like the flow and ease he plays with. He has a great stroke from beyond the arc. Michael is scary in transition because of his athleticism and a great feel for the game. 8. [player_tooltip player_id="774890" first="Trey" last="Feeney"] (2022) |6-3 F| Moorhead – 7 points in the game. He battled all game defensively with the Mustangs. Trey showed tonight that he can cash in from beyond the arc. 9. Mason Hills (2022) |5-10 G| Moorhead – 4 points in the game. I like his left-handed runners/floaters. He keeps the D off balance with his change of speeds. 10. Ben Manson (2021) |6-2 G| West Fargo Sheyenne – 6 points with 2 triples. He is a spot-up scary shooter. Look for him every game to put in a couple of corner or wing 3’s.
