Class B ND All-Region 5 Team: PHD Version

It was an up and down season in Region 5. Flasher looked to be the top team in this region for most of the season. The Bulldogs spent the majority of the year in the Top 10 Rankings. The star senior for Flasher was injured later in the year with a knee injury. Shortly after that, another star senior from Shiloh Christian hurt their knee. Wilton Wing ended up heading into the Region Tournament as the #1 seed. Like most years, Shiloh still ended up winning the Region 5 Tournament. It was sad to see two seniors get hurt late in the year like that. They did however come back from injury and finish the season. Shiloh lost in the first round of State but they bounced back by winning two games and taking home 5th place. Region 5 was full of excellent individual talent. In this article, we are looking at PHD's version of the All-Region Team. <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/NorthDakota.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1126976" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/NorthDakota-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></a> <h2>All-Region 5 Team</h2> <h4>Player of the Year</h4> [player_tooltip player_id="1133050" first="Jace" last="Friesz"] (2022) |6-3 F| Flasher <ul> <li>Region 5 Senior Athlete of the Year</li> <li>20.8 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 5.9 apg, 51-4 FG%</li> <li>Team Record (18-4), Team ranked in Top 10 most of year, had a big injury but finished the season</li> <li>Very talented & a force down low, stat stuffer, strong & smart, double-double machine</li> </ul> <h4>1st Team</h4> [player_tooltip player_id="1144986" first="Javin" last="Friesz"] (2024) |6-1 G| Flasher <ul> <li>22.2 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 57 made 3's </li> <li>Team Record (18-4)</li> <li>Impressive 3-point shooter with range, has a nice skill set, an intriguing athlete, natural scorer</li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="1125690" first="Connor" last="Kerzmann"] (2023) |6-1 SG| Garrison <ul> <li>23.3 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 1.4 apg, 3 spg, 83 made 3's</li> <li>Team Record (14-11), lost to Shiloh Christian in Regional Semi's (overtime)</li> <li>A top 3-pt shooter, very quick, impressive footwork, great at getting open & shoots it with a hair-trigger</li> </ul> Ty Giroux (2022) |6-4 F| Standing Rock <ul> <li>Team Record (19-5)</li> <li>Productive in & out, impressive vertical, deadly spin-move, boards up & protects the rim</li> </ul> Dathan Village Center (2022) |6-2 F| Standing Rock <ul> <li>24 ppg, 14 rpg</li> <li>Team Record (19-5)</li> <li>He did it all for the Warriors, smooth as silk & plays composed, impressive skills</li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="1046366" first="Carter" last="Englund"] (2022) |6-7 F| Shiloh Christian <ul> <li>16 ppg, 9 rpg, 3 apg, 2 bpg, 2 spg, 60 FG%</li> <li>Team Record (22-5), Region Champs, 5th place at State, had big injury but finished the season</li> <li>A great leader, plays very intense, hard worker that will do what it takes to win, physical & nice athlete</li> </ul> <h4>2nd Team</h4> [player_tooltip player_id="1138746" first="Jay" last="Wanzek"] (2023) |6-6 PF| Shiloh Christian <ul> <li>Team Record (22-5), Region Champs, 5th place at State</li> <li>A big body and strong, not afraid of contact, boards up, shoots it with confidence</li> </ul> Cael Hilzendeger (2022) |6-1 F| Wilton-Wing <ul> <li>Team Record (18-6), #1 seed heading in Regions, played in Region Championship</li> <li>Gritty, master at taking charges, shoots & boards well, clutch, playmaker, hot shooter from corners</li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="1125691" first="Weston" last="Kuhn"] (2022) |6-5 C| New Salem/Almont <ul> <li>Team Record (14-7)</li> <li>Strong las an ox, vigorous rebounder, stout defender, a fierce competitor</li> </ul> Landyn Miller (2023) |6-3 F| Wilton-Wing <ul> <li>Team Record (18-6), #1 seed heading into Regions, played in Region Championship</li> <li>A hard-working forward, he plays strong and disciplined, physical around the hoop</li> </ul> Braxton Hatzenbuler (2024) |6-0 G| Garrison <ul> <li>Team Record (14-11), lost to Shiloh Christian in Regional Semi's (overtime)</li> <li>Refined ball skills, serious shooting threat, a long & stretchy athlete, plays inside and out effectively </li> </ul> <h4>3rd Team</h4> [player_tooltip player_id="1133052" first="Dylan" last="Rud"] (2022) |6-0 PG| New Salem-Almont <ul> <li>Team Record (14-7)</li> <li>He can knock down triples from deep, has a fluid pull-up game, and is aggressive off the bounce</li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="1138820" first="Trey" last="Koski"] (2023) |5-10 G| Wilton-Wing <ul> <li>Team Record (18-6), #1 seed heading into Regions, played in Region Championship</li> <li>A quick and speedy athlete, very effective off the bounce, competitor & aggressive rebounder</li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="1326981" first="Alex" last="Retterath"] (2024) |6-1 G| Washburn <ul> <li>Team Record (8-15)</li> <li>Best offensive threat for his team, has a smooth shooting stroke, and plays with a nice flow</li> </ul> [player_tooltip player_id="1144985" first="Hunter" last="Hoffman"] (2024) |6-4 PF| Center-Stanton <ul> <li>Team Record (4-18) </li> <li>Big & strong, has impressive skill, plays all-out, tough matchup as he can bang down low & hit 3's</li> </ul> <h4>Honorable Mention</h4> Lance Bradley (2024) |5-10 G| Standing Rock Brently Harrison (2024) |6-2 G/F| Standing Rock [player_tooltip player_id="1381719" first="Dontaye" last="Fetzer"] (2025) |5-10 SG| Wilton-Wilton [player_tooltip player_id="1185243" first="Wyatt" last="Kuhn"] (2025) |6-4 F| New Salem/Almont Julius Anderson (2022) |5-11 G/F| Central McClean Mahbai Baker (2022) |6-0 PG| Shiloh Christian
