The Magi spread things out on offense and attacked the Patriots off the bounce. Early on Minot had Century reeling. The Pats fought back and [player_tooltip player_id='1048689' first='Anthony' last='Doppler'] hit a buzzer-beater before halftime to give Century a 32-30 lead. The second half was a battle but the Patriots had too much firepower. [player_tooltip player_id='1050245' first='Ryan' last='Erikson'] had some foul trouble and he did not have his normal production. Erikson scored 6 and the Pats won, that just shows how good the Pats are. Doppler had a fantastic game and finished with 26 points. [player_tooltip player_id='1111175' first='Isaiah' last='Schafer'] stuffed the stat sheet with 17 points, 4-7 on 3's, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 deflections, 2 charges taken, and 3-3 on FT's. In my opinion, Schafer is the best 3-point shooter in North Dakota.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>#2 Mandan (10-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Next Game</span>:</strong> 1/21 @ <strong>Minot</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Info</span>:</strong> Well what do you know? The Braves pick up another WIN! [player_tooltip player_id='1219797' first='Hudsen' last='Sheldon'] had another monster night and he is looking like an All-WDA Player and an absolute Super Soph! If the season ended today, I would be voting for Mr. Sheldon as an All-State player. Last night, Hudsen went for 32 points on only 19 shots in 37 minutes. Frank was wildly productive and also had a crazy stat line. Stats leaders from the Dickinson game: [player_tooltip player_id='1219797' first='Hudsen' last='Sheldon'] 32 points, 3 triples, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, [player_tooltip player_id='1139257' first='Tahrye' last='Frank'] 18 points, 2 triples, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, [player_tooltip player_id='1647747' first='Karsyn' last='Jablonski'] 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. Coming up on Saturday, the Braves hit the road and have a crucial game against a tough Minot team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>#3 Davies (10-2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Next Game</span>:</strong> 1/24 vs. <strong>Red River</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Info</span>:</strong> The Eagles are on a 5-game win streak and they picked up a 21-point over DL on Tuesday night. Klabo is a recent 1,000-point scorer and the top PG in North Dakota with offers from NDSU, UNI, and UND. The Eagles a have scary/athletic backcourt with [player_tooltip player_id='1169136' first='Mason' last='Klabo'], [player_tooltip player_id='1050247' first='Raymond' last='Brown'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1161524' first='Daniel' last='Yorke']. Stats leaders from the Firebird victory: [player_tooltip player_id='1169136' first='Mason' last='Klabo'] 29 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, [player_tooltip player_id='1050247' first='Raymond' last='Brown'] 13 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, [player_tooltip player_id='1161524' first='Daniel' last='Yorke'] 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists. The matchup next week vs. RR is going to be a Premier Contest. When these two played earlier in the season, the game came down to the last possession and the Eagles took home the W.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>#4 Minot (9-2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Next Game</span>:</strong> 1/19 vs. <strong>Jamestown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Info</span>:</strong> The Magi have two losses on the year and they are to the #1 and #2 teams in the State. Minot has the best player in the State with [player_tooltip player_id='1050246' first='Darik' last='Dissette'] and one of the best coaches. They have a tough and gritty group of players, the guys really seem to know their role and they play hard. [player_tooltip player_id='1177134' first='Aric' last='Winczewski'] is looking great this year. I knew he was an up-and-comer, but he is playing like an All-WDA player. Magi scoring from last night: [player_tooltip player_id='1050246' first='Darik' last='Dissette'] 26 pts, [player_tooltip player_id='1606346' first='Jaeger' last='Gunville'] 10 pts, [player_tooltip player_id='1177138' first='Grayson' last='Schaeffer'] 10 pts, [player_tooltip player_id='1177134' first='Aric' last='Winczewski'] 9 pts, [player_tooltip player_id='1393889' first='Morgan' last='Nygaard'] 6 pts, [player_tooltip player_id='1168194' first='Logan' last='Conklin'] 5 pts, and Jack Keiser 2 points. Make sure you tune into the Magi game tomorrow night. [player_tooltip player_id='1050246' first='Darik' last='Dissette'] will likely become the All-Time Leading Scorer in Minot High History!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>#5 Fargo North</strong> <strong>(6-3)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Next Game</span>:</strong> 1/19 vs <strong>Moorhead</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Info</span>:</strong> The Spartans have the talent to beat any team in North Dakota. They have a few L's but they also have a super-talented team. North took care of business in Horace last night. NDSU was in the gym watching Sem.. It is always exciting when a local kid is being recruited by the Bison. Stats from the Hawks W: [player_tooltip player_id='1144475' first='Jeremiah' last='Sem'] 22 pts, 8 reb, 1 ast, [player_tooltip player_id='1144600' first='Carter' last='Zeller'] 21 pts, 8 reb, 2 ast, [player_tooltip player_id='1167610' first='Matthew' last='Sem'] 19 pts, 2 reb, 4 ast, [player_tooltip player_id='1167613' first='Eric' last='DeBoer'] 9 pts, 3 reb, 2 ast, [player_tooltip player_id='1168182' first='David' last='Shilling'] 8 pts, 2 reb, 1 ast. Tomorrow night is going to be a must-watch game. The Spartans and Spuds both have players that can put on a show, get the cameras ready for this border battle!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
