Top Class B Players
Dane Hagler Dane Hagler 6'4" | SG North Star | 2024 ND |6’4 SG| North Star
Easily an All-State talent, the best DUNKER in B, scorer/creator/passer/rebounder/defender, unselfish competitor
Javin Friesz Javin Friesz 6'2" | CG Flasher | 2024 ND |6’2 G| Flasher
Will likely lead B in scoring, nearly an impossible cover with only one defender, a scoring & playmaking machine
Max Musland Max Musland 6'4" | SG LaMoure-Litchville/Marion | 2024 State ND |6’4 SG| LaMoure-Litchville/Marion
He will be a DAWG this year and one of the best 3-point shooters in the State, length will give everyone problems
Bohden Duffield Bohden Duffield 6'1" | SG Bowman County | 2024 State ND & Bishop Duffield Bishop Duffield 6'2" | SG Bowman County | 2024 State ND |6’1 G| Bowman County
DYNAMIC DUO! Both All-State last season. Duffields play fast & furious, they should be a top 2 team entering the season
Luke Martinson Luke Martinson 6'4" | PF Sargent County | 2024 State ND |6’4 F| Sargent County
SC will be a top 5 team and Luke has All-State type talent, bigger & stronger, becoming more polished, a do-it-all player
Jack Zimmer Jack Zimmer 6'1" | PG Kenmare/Bowbells | 2024 State ND |6’1 PG| Kenmare/Bowbells
A top PG in B, stat stuffer, ball skills are extreme, advanced scorer, makes teammates better, Honkers will win many games
Trevor Schmidt Trevor Schmidt 6'5" | SF South Border | 2024 ND |6’4 SF| South Border
Underrated baller, deserves your attention, dual-threat player that will hurt you from all levels, major season on horizon
Jace Jochim Jace Jochim 6'2" | SG Linton/HMB | 2024 State ND |6’1 SG| Linton/HMB
Has an exemplary shot, high/soft release, extensive range, impressive pull-up J, improved finisher, massive year coming
Weston Zacher Weston Zacher 6'8" | PF Grant County/Mott-Regent | 2024 State ND |6’8 PF| Grant County-Mott-Regent
1 of the biggest/best low-post players in B, gives D fits because he can hit from deep, still improving, best ball is ahead
Jacob Nitschke Jacob Nitschke 6'5" | PF Edgeley/Kulm/Montpelier | 2024 State ND |6’5 PF| Edgeley/Kulm/Montpelier
EKM is going to be tough, Nitchke will be a DUDE, physical/tough/athletic, does damage in & out, boards & defends
Rayce Worley Rayce Worley 6'4" | SF Langdon Area/Edmore/Munich | 2024 State ND |6’4 SF| Langdon Area/Edmore/Munich
An under-the-radar guy that I think is going to blow up in his senior season, matchup obstacle, explosive, skilled
Alex Retterath Alex Retterath 6'1" | SG Washburn | 2024 State ND |6’1 G| Washburn
A talented offensive player, solid #’s last season, will put up All-State type #’s this next season, a true 3-level scorer
Josh Wittich Josh Wittich 6'5" | PF Sargent County | 2024 State ND |6’5 F| Sargent County
Double-double guy, mismatch trouble, quick 1st step, at the rim often, improved rebounding/physicality/aggression
Will Mickelson Will Mickelson 6'8" | PF Glen Ullin/Hebron | 2024 State ND |6’8 PF| Glen Ullin/Hebron
Imposing length, gifted athlete, placed at State in T&F in 2 jumping events, lefty, nose for the ball, scores w/ both hands
