Fargo Davies: Offseason Update

<p> The Eagles from Davies play a fast-paced style of basketball. For fans, it is a super entertaining brand of basketball to watch and I can only imagine that the players love getting up and down the way that the Eagles do. Coach Manson’s team executes sets and situations as well as anyone in North Dakota. Davies scored the most points per game last season and they had the biggest turnover margin in the EDC. There is a distinct reason why Davies won the EDC Regular-Season Championship, the EDC Tournament Championship, and they took home a 3rd place finish at the State Tournament. The Eagles play fast, they score a ton of points, and they force a high amount of turnovers. In most games, the Eagles will simply overwhelm their opponents with speed, quick scoring, and defensive pressure. Manson’s Eagles have made it to State 9 of the past 10 years. Davies is hands down one of the top basketball programs in North Dakota and the man behind it all is head coach <em>Bart Manson</em>. In January, this North Dakota coaching legend picked up his 400th career coaching victory! Congrats to coach Manson on an amazing career! When looking at next season, I expect Davies to be right back near the top of the EDC and you should plan on the Eagles to make another trip to the State Tournament.</p> <p>Read below for more information on the Eagles...</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/davies3rd-Place.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1446974" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/05/davies3rd-Place-300x163.png" alt="" width="300" height="163" /></a></p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Player Stats</strong></span></h4> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1169136" first="Mason" last="Klabo"] (2025) |6’1 G|</strong> - 24.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 4.2 apg, 3.3 spg</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812229" first="Ian" last="Motschenbacher"] (2022) |6’0 G|</strong> - 18.7 ppg, 4.6 apg, 5.5 rpg, 2.4 spg </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1161486" first="Alex" last="Proctor"] (2022) |6’1 G|</strong> - 6.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg, .8 apg, .8 spg</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1161524" first="Daniel" last="Yorke"] (2024) |6’1 G|</strong> - 4 ppg, 2 rpg, 1.8 apg, .7 spg</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1050247" first="Raymond" last="Brown"] (2023) |5’11 G|</strong> - 15.8, 5 rpg, 3.4 apg, 3.9</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1167651" first="Max" last="Froslie"] (2023) |6’7 F|</strong> - 6.7 ppg, 3.9 rpg, .9 apg, .7 spg</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1273987" first="Evan" last="Van Dam"] (2022) |6’6 PF|</strong> - 5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, .8 apg, .6 spg</p> <p><strong>Kaden Braaflat (2022) |6’2 G|</strong> - 4.2 ppg, 4 rpg, 2 apg, .9 spg</p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Team Stats</strong></span></h4> <p><strong>PPG:</strong> 83.11 <strong>Scoring Margin:</strong> 20.70 <strong>FG%:</strong> 47.60 <strong>3FG%:</strong> 33.22 <strong>3MPG:</strong> 7.33</p> <p><strong>FT%:</strong> 66.27 <strong>RPG:</strong> 36 <strong>RMPG:</strong> 2.3 <strong>SPG:</strong> 14.04 <strong>TOMPG:</strong> 8.1</p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Awards/Accolades</strong></span></h4> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1169136" first="Mason" last="Klabo"]</strong> - Unanimous All-EDC, 1st Team All-State, State All-Tournament Team</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812229" first="Ian" last="Motschenbacher"]</strong> - Unanimous All-EDC, 2nd Team All-State</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1050247" first="Raymond" last="Brown"]</strong> - State All-Tournamnet Team</p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Eagle Talk with coach <em>Bart Manson</em></strong></span></h4> <p><strong>PHD: What are a few highlights from last season? </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Coach Manson</span>: "<em>Won 24 games</em>"</p> <p>"<em>EDC Regular season champs</em>"</p> <p>"<em>EDC Tournament Champs</em>"</p> <p>"<em>3^rd Place State Tournament</em>"</p> <p>"<em>Completed our 9th consecutive 20 wins seasons</em>"</p> <p><strong>PHD: What are your off-season plans for the basketball program?</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Coach Manson</span>: "<em>We have a month-long High School camp that focuses on fundamentals.
