Team Comments
Minot – Undefeated and they have taken down Davies and Sheyenne. Once they play Century, we will know for sure how good the Magi are. This coming weekend they play St. Thomas More on a neutral court, that will be an interesting game. STM is tough, disciplined, and the game will likely be low scoring.
North – They are still undefeated in North Dakota, so we had a hard time moving them down any further with the two Minnesota L’s. Eric DeBoer Eric DeBoer 6'5" | SG Fargo North | 2025 State ND missed time this weekend and Jeremiah Sem Jeremiah Sem 6'3" | SG Fargo North | 2024 State #303 Nation ND is still out. On a side note, it sounds like Bode Hoeg Bode Hoeg 6'2" | PG Fargo North | 2024 ND suffered an injury and is out for an extended period on time. We wish Bode the best of luck going forward. January 9th will be the game to watch against Davies and we will all be looking to see if Sem is back on the floor for the Spartans. At this point, Carter Zeller Carter Zeller 6'6" | PF Fargo North | 2024 State ND is playing like a surefire 1st Team All-State baller.
Century – All they do is win! They played a handful of games early in the season in Wyoming instead of playing EDC teams, so it is tough to know how good the Patriots truly are. They sure can score the points! The Pats will have a good test coming up against Legacy on January 5th. Let’s hope both Century and Minot can stay undefeated until they meet later this year.
Davies – They only have one loss but it was to a North Dakota team (Minot). Mason Klabo Mason Klabo 6'2" | PG Fargo Davies | 2025 State #240 Nation ND did not play but it was still a ND game, so we have to count it. Injuries and set backs suck but they happen to all teams at some point. Let’s hope Klabo is back on the court soon. The Eagles are as scary as anyone. Let’s see how the Eagles look at South on the 5th.
Sheyenne – They have all the pieces to be an elite squad in AA. The Mustangs recently flexed their muscles against Mandan and Jamestown. They had a slip up earlier against South but they also showed that they can play with the best (Minot) very early. Sheyenne is loaded in the frontcourt and on the wing. If they can figure out their backcourt (1 & 2 guards) they have the potential to beat anyone at anytime.
