<p><strong>Andy Koffa (2025) |5'7 G| Moorhead</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He is a sparkplug! Koffa is quick off the bounce. He caught my eyes with deep penetration, he drew the help defender, and Andy dished the rock to an open teammate for the score. Koffa delivered the ball into a tight window and hit his teammate right in the breadbasket. Koffa also showcased a smooth pull-up jumper in transition from 10-12 feet. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He played the game hard on both ends of the floor. The young Tornado did not force shots either, that is always nice to see at events like this. Brayson showed some good skills and moves when attacking. I liked the looks of his spin-move and score. He had no trouble evading defenders on the way to the basket.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1332141' first='Cameron' last='Miller'] (2026) |6'1 G| Fargo Davies</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When I first saw him on the court, I had to do a double-take because Miller is so strong and cut-up. He does not look like a 10th grader, I figured #160 must be a senior. Cam first caught my eye by running the floor hard and scoring in transition. Next, he stuck out with tough defense. Cam moved his feet well and he cut off attackers. I would not want to be a skinny youngster cutting across Cam's face on a cut, I imagine he could give quite the bump! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2239760' first='Camden' last='Neilan'] (2025) |6'1 G| Waubay-Summit</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He is a thick/strong shooting guard. Camden was a GameChanger because of his 3-point shooting. He knocked down multiple from deep. I did not see him play a ton, but he hit the 3's when I was looking. Neilan also showed hustle in up-tempo and he scored a lefty bucket in transition. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1541295' first='Haakon' last='Seymour'] (2026) |6'2 G| West Fargo</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He stuck out to me because of his early effort in the event. The other players jogged up the court but Seymour was SPRINTING. Instead of running up the court and hanging around while waiting for the ball, Haakon cut to open spots, balanced the floor, and reacted to the defense. He looked good cashing in an in-rhythm triple and he looked fluid when scoring in transition. This young Packer plays the game hard and gives full effort. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jay Sanchez (2024) |5'10 G| West Fargo Horace</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The energetic southpaw scored via the slash & cut. Sanchez played hard, hustled, sprinted the floor and gave extra-effort. I know he had at least one Double-Digit scoring game as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2230304' first='Kade' last='Schimke'] (2024) |6'9 F| Ellendale</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He stuck out to me because of his versatile scoring. When I watched Schimke play live in October, he mostly seemed interested in floating outside and shooting triples. On Saturday, Kade had several interior scores. He produced with O-board putbacks, DUNKs, and screen-n-role scores. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1541561' first='Kayson' last='Bernstien'] (2026) |6'6 PF| West Fargo Sheyenne</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Mustang went hard after rebounds and deflections. He made this list because he gave extra effort and dove on the floor for a loose ball. This was in the open court and other players did not react, Kayson was quick to pounce and went down after the ball in a hurry. When a tall & slim 6'6" player does this, it tends to stick out! It was good to see Bernstien reacting quickly and not being afraid to get dirty.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1632619' first='Reggie' last='Rice'] (2026) |6'5 SF| Grafton</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He did not score as much or shoot it hot like he did in October at the Expo. However, Reggie still made a positive impact on the game with steals, deflections, and some nice passes that led to easy scores. He impressed me with a post-up near the block. I have not seen him do much work down low. Reggie made a nice double-move and scored near the rack. It was good to see that part of his game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2232597' first='Traveion' last='Neilan'] (2025) |6'2 F| Waubay-Summit</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He is a strong and big-bodied player. Traveion is physical and active on the glass. He looked much bigger compared to when I saw him live in October. Neilan was effective on the offensive glass and he battled for the ball. He blocked shots and scored with his muscle around the basket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396506' first='Trey' last='Wyman'] (2025) |6'2 SF| Grand Forks Central</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">WHY?</span></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He first caught my eye with a crafty reverse layup in transition. Trey used his body to shield the D and he kissed it off the glass with the perfect amount of spin. Shortly after he scored with an O-board putback. He also knocked down a FT and looked confident from the line. Wyman is a good-sized & strong lefty, he is tough to handle when he gets going downhill. Trey is a tireless & fearless worker. He will also played his tail off on defense. </p>
