Primary ball-handler for BHS. Had some huge games scoring, elite rebounder for 6’1″, precision passer. Super creative, fantastic at setting up teammates, great at deep penetration & kick outs. Explosive finisher, sweet pull-up J, improved D.

Breakout season for the Magi, provided a nice scoring punch, complimentary player to Darik Dissette Darik Dissette 6’4″ | SG Minot | 2023 State #300 Nation ND , shoots it well from deep, leader even though just a soph, talks his game/communicator, spreads the floor, tough D, makes everyone better.

All-WDA
PPG: 19.6 RPG: 5.2 APG: 3 FG%: 53 3FG%: 28 FT%: 68 3FG%: 23 FTM: 75
Freak athlete that finished 4th in State in the High Jump as a 9th-grader. Put up gaudy numbers in the scoring column & left people in awe w/ his athletic finishes/SLAMS. More skilled w/ the ball than I realized. Potential through the roof.
24-3 record, 3rd place at State
All-EDC
PPG: 27.5 RPG: 5.8 APG: 5.3 FG%: 50 3FG%: 40 FT%: 80 3FGM: 45 FTM: 101
D1 offers from NDSU, UND, UNI. Missed 11 games w/ injuries. Sat out 3 to start the year w/ football injury & missed end of season w/ knee. Scoring is incredible but passing/vision is next-level. Great at getting to the FT-line, super hard worker.
Highlights
19-8 record, State Champions!
All-Tournament Team at State
PPG: 15.3 RPG: 5.1 APG: 2.1 FG%: 48 3FG%: 30 FT%: 64 3FGM: 40 FTM: 44
A gifted athlete that glides up and down the curt, covers a ton ground, bouncy and gets to the rim quickly, has a shooters mentality, he lets it fly w/ confidence, hit some big shots at the State Tournament, creates TO’s, playmaker on both ends.
14-13 record, State Tournament qualifier
PPG: 11.3 RPG: 2.3 APG: 1.8 FG%: 43 3FG%: 31.7 FT%: 81.2 3FGM: 40 FTM: 56
A great athlete that defends multiple positions, is capable of scoring the rock from all 3-levels. He grew as a leader, turned into a playmaker during difficult situations. Vastly improved FT-shooter! Has sharp handles, controls tempo, is pesky on D.
Highlights
14-10 record, lost in Regionals
All-EDC
PPG: 17.4 RPG: 9 APG: 3.6 FG%: 42 3FG%: 31 FT%: 71 3FGM: 47 FTM: 47
He plays his tail off and gives 100% effort. A tough matchup because of his NRG, size, physicality, aggressiveness, skill, and ability to score from all levels. I was impressed with his passing and unselfishness. More skilled/polished than I thought.
Highlights
15-12 record, 6th place at State
PPG: 11.2 RPG: 5.6 APG: 1.7 FG%: 49.2 FG%: 45.3 FT%: 77.4 3FGM: 48 FTM: 24
One of the best up-and-coming shooters in the State, impressive length & feel for the game, smooth shooter off the bounce & catch, high & soft release, shot a searing hot percentage from beyond the arc, has a knack for rebounding.
19-8 record, 2nd place at State
PPG: 15.1 RPG: 4.5 APG: 2.6 FG%: 50 3FG%: 50 FT%: 69 3FGM: 33 FTM: 58
He was the 3rd gun for the high powered Roughrider offense, he made some big plays this past weekend at State. A big and strong player, built more like a senior. Shot a high % from deep. Physical and athletic slasher, finishes through contact.
Highlights
11-14 record, lost in Regional Play-In
PPG: 9.6 RPG: 7.5 APG: 1.2 FG%: 55 3FG%: 28 FT%: 53 3FGM: 4 FTM: 21
He is a giant on the court with impressive mobility for his age & height, has nimble feet around the rim, powerful 2-handed dunker, on the verge of being an elite rim-protector. Scores w/ his back to the basket & with O-board put backs.
