, had no problem asserting his dominance. The highly respected Deacon finished the contest scoring 29 points, dishing the ball well, and blocking shots like a North Dakota Mutombo. Kraft also went a perfect 7-7 from the strip, and had two made shots from beyond the arc. At his height with the skillset that he possess, the sky is the limit for this Shanley star.

had his way with the Deacons on Tuesday night. In the contest he finished with a season-high 34 points, having 12 of those come from the free throw line. The Bruin also rebounded the ball well on both ends and hustled in transition. As just an underclassman, Hamilton has a bright and successful future ahead of him.

contributed 8 points in the win against the Fargo Bruins. The Concordia Cobber commit made two shots from beyond the arc and added a steal. As the season progresses I believe that the senior will be looked to for leadership as the Deacons approach March.
Jack Pollert (Shanley)
Providing a spark off the bench for Shanley was senior guard Jack Pollert. The Deacon scored 10 points, rebounded well, and was disruptive on the defensive end getting multiple steals. With any successful team comes a strong sixth man, and Pollert plays that role well.

Senior guard Diamond Mcgill was a key reason that the Bruins were fighting until the end. In the game against Shaley Mcgill had 13 points, was active on the boards, and was a thief on the defensive end. Not to mention that the guard also had multiple made three point shots, and played with energy the entire game. As we approach March, don’t be surprised to see Diamond helping lead the charge for Fargo South.
Dean Grant (South)
Fargo South shooter Dean Grant finished the game against Shanley with 9 points and a couple made shots from the arc. The junior has been near or at the top of the EDC in three point percentage consistently this season, and the Bruins will need that as the end of the regular season begins to loom near.
