We mostly have ND & SD ballers in this article, but we need to recognize a couple of MN players as well
Austin Terveen
Austin
Terveen
6'2" | CG
O'Gorman | 2025
State
SD
(2025) |6’1 G|
Sanford Sports Academy
2025 White
WHY?
He shot the ball at a high percentage throughout the weekend. If this was school ball with quicker whistles, Austin would have shot over 100 FT’s in the 4 games. You have to like his aggressiveness! Terveen beat his on-ball defender early and often. On defense, Terveen played with impressive energy while picking up the ball early on in possessions.
Beau Leslie Beau Leslie 5'11" | SG Brandon Valley | 2025 State SD (2025) |5’11 G| Sacred Hoops 2025 Edman
WHY?
He took 10 charges in 3 games this past weekend! Leslie brings a toughness to the defensive side of the ball that any coach would love. Beau also hit some clutch shots, both from the three-point line and when driving to the rim against bigger defenders.
Beckett Pfau
Beckett
Pfau
6'0" | SG
West Fargo | 2026
State
ND
(2026) |6’0 G|
ECI
2026 Prospects
WHY?
He picked up fullcourt all game long and he loves to defend the other team’s primary ballhandler. I like his effort and tenacity when guarding the ball. He seems to have a toughness that is difficult to teach. He is a great teammate and is always the guy on the bench giving “benergy” while celebrating when his teammates hit shots. Pfau can also score in a variety of ways when needed.
Boston Cranston
Boston
Cranston
6'0" | PG
Dickinson | 2026
State
ND
(2026) |6’0 G|
ND Attack
16U Green
WHY?
He had an unusually rough start to the tournament – but really was ND Attack ‘s vocal and emotional leader in the 3rd and 4th games. It was not a perfect weekend for Boston, but he was constantly communicating and keeping guys up. That was very evident during Attack’s 3rd game when they were down big. Cranston kept energy up and spirits high to help lead the comeback. He came up with many steals, 3-pointers, and passes to teammates which led to buckets.
Bradon Wallace Bradon Wallace 6'3" | SG Wilton-Wing | 2025 State ND (2025) |6’3 G| ND Attack 2025
WHY?
The kid from Wilton-Wing proved to be a clutch shooter at Battle. Bradon is much stronger than he appears and he is tough. His pull-up game was solid and you will be impressed with his fakes to keep the D off-balance.
Brayden Blikre
Brayden
Blikre
5'11" | SF
Minot North | 2026
State
ND
(2026) |5’11 G/F|
ND Attack
16U Green
WHY?
A GameChanger on Sunday. In the 3rd game of the event, ND Attack was down by 24 points in the second half but they came back and got the win by 9 points. Blikre got hotter than a pistol! Offensively, he led the charge as he went unconscious from the 3-point line for about a 4-minute span. Brayden also had a lot of nice movement without the ball during the tournament to help himself get loose or open up the lane for a teammate.
Brett Livingston
Brett
Livingston
6'5" | PF
Horace | 2027
State
ND
(2027) |6’5 F|
ECI
2027 Prospects
WHY?
He was everywhere on the defensive end of the floor this past weekend. Livingston made huge plays down the stretch when it really mattered. Brett also did a great job on the offensive glass.
Brody Lillemoen
Brody
Lillemoen
6'6" | SF
Grafton | 2026
State
ND
(2026) |6’6 F|
ND Attack
16U Green
WHY?
His shot-blocking, rebounding, and clutch shooting really helped keep ND Attack competitive in their first two games of the tournament on Saturday. ND Attack improved this past weekend and showed a lot of mental toughness when things weren’t going well. They stayed together and played their hearts out for each other.
Brody Weigel Brody Weigel 6'0" | SG Bismarck Legacy | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’0 G| ECI 2026 Prospects
WHY?
He is a “coach is correct” type of play and is always buying into the team concept. Brody takes feedback and is an extension of his coach on the floor. Weigel gets his guys fired up and is the ultimate teammate. He proved that he is a tough-nosed defender and he hit timely buckets when ECI needed them. I am excited to see him play this coming weekend.
Camden Aufforth Camden Aufforth 6'1" | CG Minot | 2025 State ND (2025) |6’1 G| 3ND Hoops Fam 2025
WHY?
He hit clutch/crucial triples all weekend! Aufforth had a highlight game by scoring 20 points while knocking down SIX treys in the Sunday morning game against Sacred Hoops from SD.
Cole Kooiker
Cole
Kooiker
5'11" | PG
Harrisburg | 2026
State
SD
(2026) |5’11 G|
SD Identity
16U
WHY?
Hit big threes down the stretch in all 3 wins at Battle. Cole is a cold-blooded shooter. He was a pest on defense when defending on the perimeter. His confidence and effort were unmatched. Kooiker is certainly a player to watch at Stomping Grounds this coming weekend.
Haakon Seymour
Haakon
Seymour
6'1" | SF
West Fargo | 2026
State
ND
(2026) |6’1 SF|
ECI
2026 Selects
WHY?
He continues to be the most aggressive player on the defensive side of the court. Seymour’s ball pressure and rebounding productivity sets the tone for his ECI squad. Haakon willingly guards the opposing PG or any post on the hardwood. He is always quick to accept any challenge that coach Glasser throws at him. His squad had another 4-0 record at Battle and they are in Pool A for the coming weekend at Stomping Grounds.
Isaac Jacobson
Isaac
Jacobson
6'2" | PG
Park Christian | 2026
State
MN
(2026) |6’2 G|
ECI
2026 Selects
WHY?
His productivity/play continues to improve in each game. Jacobson has always performed as a lockdown defender with his athleticism, but when he is scoring the rock at a high level, he is a great asset to the team. However, his greatest contribution to the team is his willingness to get everyone involved. Isaac is always making the extra pass and he loves it when his teammates succeed.
Jeremy Laducer
Jeremy
Laducer
5'11" | CG
Dunseith | 2025
State
ND
(2025) |5’11 G|
ND Attack
2025
WHY?
He plays bigger than his size. He has a nice post-up game, and can also hit from outside. He likely does not shoot enough. Jeremy had a nice overall weekend for ND Attack .
Kyle Virtue
Kyle
Virtue
6'5" | PF
Custer | 2025
State
SD
(2025) |6’5 PF|
SD Identity
17U
WHY?
Impressed with the West River baller in both games I watched. He was a monster on both ends of the floor. Virtue scored relentlessly inside and kept SD Identity in games. He rebounded at a very high level and racked up two Double-Doubles. Kyle played hard and made many effort plays.
Maverick LeBrun Maverick LeBrun 6'4" | SG Dell Rapids St. Mary | 2025 State SD (2025) |6’4 G/F| Sanford Sports 2025 White
WHY?
He has developed his big frame. LeBrun is a strong & long-armed player and this led to impressive plays at Battle. Maverick played solid defense, he contested jumpers & changed shots at the rim. LeBrun is learning to use his strength on the offensive side of the ball. We saw evidence of this when finishing through contact around the cup.
Nathan Stevenson
Nathan
Stevenson
6'0" | SF
Dickinson | 2027
State
ND
(2027) |6’0 SF|
ECI
2027 Prospects
WHY?
He was a beast at getting to the rim/basket, and this led to many trips to the charity stripe. Stevenson was a menace defensively when guarding the ball and he grabbed many O-boards to give ECI extra possessions.
Paxton Neppl Paxton Neppl 6'3" | SF Benson County | 2025 State ND (2025) |6’3 G/F| ND Attack 2025
WHY?
He shot it well on the weekend. Paxton hit shots and also rebounded well. He is always the first one on the floor for a loose ball. He certainly did the little things to help the team.
Raeshaun Earl
Raeshaun
Earl
5'11" | SG
Hankinson | 2026
State
ND
(2026) |5’11 G|
ECI
2026 Selects
WHY?
They went 4-0 and he was a stud. His athleticism sets him apart from other players. Earl’s quick jumping ability allows him to tower/elevate over other players. Those types of plays are not possible for most players his age. The Hankinson Pirate is impossible to guard with his improved perimeter shooting abilities and his explosiveness to the rim.
Rane Kenzy Rane Kenzy 6'4" | PF Gregory | 2025 State SD (2025) |6’4 SF| Sacred Hoops 2025 Edman
WHY?
He attacked every rebound that came off the rim like it was meant to be his. Rane guarded multiple positions well throughout the weekend at Battle. Kenzy used his bigger body to screen well and generate mismatches in the post. The baller from Gregory also shot well from the 3point arc.
Reggie Rice
Reggie
Rice
6'5" | PF
Grafton | 2026
State
ND
(2026) |6’5 F|
ND Attack
16U Green
WHY?
He was a difference-maker in Attack’s 3rd game when they were down big. Rice and his fellow teammates erupted for a huge comeback win. He caused a lot of havoc defensively by forcing contested shots. He got multiple steals or he deflected the ball enough for a teammate to get a steal. Rice was a catalyst in the comeback as ND Attack went to a press in the 2nd half, and Reggie used his quickness & length to disrupt a lot of passes.
Seth Heidenreich Seth Heidenreich 5'8" | SG Fargo Davies | 2027 State ND (2027) |5’8 G| ECI 2027 Selects Froslie
WHY?
The kid from Davies was an absolute STUD all weekend long for coach Froslie and ECI . Seth knocked down multiple big shots throughout the event. He guarded very well on the defensive end and he was able to get his teammates involved on the other side. Seth consistently made the correct play in timely moments of the games.
Stellen Larson
Stellen
Larson
6'4" | SG
Harrisburg | 2026
State
SD
(2026) |6’4 SF|
SD Identity
16U
WHY?
He made the Saturday Noteworthy article and was a beast all weekend. Larson put up two Double-Doubles and he totaled 40 rebounds in four games. Opposing teams could not block him out and he was never slowed down. The Tiger from Harrisburg has a crazy-impressive work ethic. Get eyes on him at Stomping Grounds!
Tamari Carter
Tamari
Carter
6'2" | CG
Minot | 2025
State
ND
(2025) |6’2 SF|
3ND Hoops Fam
WHY?
He did the little things to help the squad. Carter also put up some nice numbers. Tamari had 10 rebounds against WI Blaze 2025 Black on Saturday, another nice game came against Icon Elite where Carter put up 19 points and snagged 7 boards. He always guarded the opposing team’s top offensive threat. His defensive motor was on display and he hustled all over the floor.
Weston Rowe (2026) |6’7 PF| Sanford Sports Academy 2026 UA Rise
WHY?
He did the little things over the weekend at Battle. The BIG man dove on the floor for loose balls, fought hard for offensive rebounds to get second-chance opportunities, and drew fouls to get to the line. I was impressed with his vision & unselfishness, Weston saw his teammates from the low post and kicked out to shooters. He also found cutting teammates. Rowe battled at the rim against taller players and he often out-muscled opponents with his tenacity, grit, and sheer will. Rowe’s shot selection was admirable, he shot a high percentage from the field, and he hit a few triples without forcing them.
