A tough and skilled group of young ballers that had a quality spring and summer playing AAU ball with ECI. It will be fun to watch this group and see how they progress throughout the school year. There is no doubt that they all have bright futures in the game of basketball. Let us take a look at some of the up-and-coming talent in North Dakota. <h3>ECI 14U Winczewski ROSTER</h3> [player_tooltip player_id="1177134" first="Aric" last="Winczewski"] (2025) |5-7 G| Minot – Moved from a perimeter shooter to a pretty complete offensive player.

[player_tooltip player_id="1177138" first="Grayson" last="Schaeffer"] (2025) |6-2 F| Minot – He became more aggressive and started to use the skills that he has developed.
