Roster
Comments from Coach Jeff Meissner:
Pearce Parks Pearce Parks 6'2" | SG Grand Forks Red River | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-0 G| Grand Forks Red River – Pearce has the ability to be a strong contributor in all facets of the game. His physicality creates matchup problems on both ends.
Jake Starcevic Jake Starcevic 6'2" | SF Kindred | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-2 F| Thompson – His physical strength allows him to guard much bigger players. This strength and physical style also enable him to be a force on the offensive and defensive boards.
Josh Bickett Josh Bickett 6'1" | SG Carrington | 2025 State ND (2025) |5-11 G| Carrington – He has strong communication skills and finds ways to contribute on both ends. He has a nice intermediate offensive game and plays very unselfish basketball.
Karsen Ouse (2025) |6-2 F| Kindred – Karson is a good spot-up shooter. His length and wingspan add to his versatility on both ends of the floor.
Walker Braaten Walker Braaten 6'4" | CG Westhope/Newburg | 2025 State #278 Nation ND (2025) |5’11 G| Westhope/Newburg – Walker is a solid perimeter shooter with range. He is a good on-ball defender who uses his athleticism to control a variety of offensive players.
Presley Peraza Presley Peraza 6'6" | PF Kindred | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-3 F| Kindred – Presley’s length and jumping ability allow him to make an impact on both ends. His ability to play above the rim makes an impact on both ends of the floor.
Drew Kempel (2025) |6-0 G| Moorhead – His strength and athleticism allow him to contribute from multiple positions on the floor. This flexibility makes him a tough player to defend.
Noah Meissner Noah Meissner 6'1" | CG Jamestown | 2025 State ND (2025) |5-11 G| Jamestown – Noah is very athletic. He has a quick first step, can score on multiple levels, and takes pride in his defensive effort.
Parker Falcon Parker Falcon 6'6" | SG Bismarck Legacy | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-2 F| Bismarck Legacy – Parker has a nice touch on his perimeter jump shot. His length can create matchup problems on both ends for his opponent.
Team Notes from Coach Meissner:
“This is a very promising group of young men. With the combination of athleticism and length, we should be able to match up well with most 14U teams. One of our biggest strengths should be our versatility. We have players that can score on different levels, as well as defend a variety of different offensive players. If the young men play unselfish ball, we should be a very competitive team.”
