<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you missed it, PHD updated its rankings. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a quick look at the players rated 61-75:</span></p>
<p><strong>Emmet Kenney, Fargo Shanley</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kenney is a big guard who does a good job on the defensive end of the floor. He’s shown flashes each of the last two years at the varsity level while displaying two-way potential during the summer periods. He’ll have to produce more as a senior than he did as a junior, but the opportunity will certainly be there. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="998911" first="Ryan" last="Sletten"], Larimore</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Larimore struggled a lot last year but Sletten was one of the bright spots. The 6-foot-2 combo guard is an excellent facilitator and capable scorer, who excels in the mid-range and in. His ability to impact the game in a number of ways is a big key for the Polar Bears in 2020-21.</span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="998905" first="Preston" last="Bohnenstingl"], Wyndmere/Lidgerwood</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bohnenstingl is a 6-foot combo guard who provides dynamic shooting and the ability to fill it up in a hurry. He’s a terrific 3-point shooter with deep, deep range and he’s quick enough to get to the rim and finish over length. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046339" first="Justin" last="Garza"], Grafton</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garza enjoyed a strong junior year, averaging 12 points, five rebounds and four assists. He’s the definition of solid, as he’s just good in a lot of areas. He’s a good long-range shooter, he can get to the paint as a secondary ballhandler and he’s a feisty defender. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="998917" first="Walker" last="Wold"], Lewis and Clark - Berthold</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wold was a catalyst for Berthold during the winter season, providing a bright spot for a team that won 13 games and averaged just 52 points per game. He’s got excellent size on the perimeter and can use his strength to get to areas on the floor where he can make a big impact. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="998921" first="Gunner" last="Jacobs"], Underwood</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jacobs is a 6-foot-2 swingman who can score and defend at a high level. He’s a good long-range shooter who can create his own shot a little bit off the bounce. Expect him to be heavily featured this winter. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="998919" first="Gage" last="Pollestad"], Drayton Valley-Edinburg</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pollestad was a double-double threat last year, averaging better than 15 points and eight rebounds for a Drayton/Valley-Edinburg team that reached the Region 2 quarterfinals. He’s a big, physical presence inside. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046340" first="Brodie" last="Cluchie"], Grafton</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cluchie is a do-it-all forward who impacts the game in a plethora of ways. The 6-foot-3 senior averaged 15 points, five rebounds and three assists per game while giving Cavalier a legitimate shot-maker from the perimeter and a guy who could get to the paint. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046341" first="Blayne" last="Anderson"], Benson County</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anderson is just rock-solid in a lot of areas. He’s got good size and the ability to score from all over the floor. He can shoot it from deep, he has the size to finish at the rim and he’s strong enough to play through contact. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046342" first="Payton" last="Martin"], Drake-Anamoose</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Martin is one of the best guards in Region 6. The 6-foot-2 combo guard averaged 15 points, four rebounds and four assists. He’s got good length which helps him on the defensive end of the floor. He can score in a variety of ways and is efficient from all over the floor. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046343" first="Latrel" last="Davis"], Fargo Davies</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Davis had good moments over the last two summers with his AAU team, showing the ability to shoot it from deep, make plays as a complementary ballhandler and defend multiple positions. He’ll finally have a path to playing time this winter for a Fargo Davies team that always has high expectations. Don’t be surprised if he breaks out. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046344" first="Caleb" last="Poitra"], Dunseith</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 6-foot-1 senior was a solid complementary piece last season, showing that he’s capable of scoring at a high level when given opportunity. Look for him to be more heavily featured this winter. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046345" first="Brandon" last="Albrecht"], Grafton</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Albrecht is one of the best pure shooters in Class B and does a great job bringing energy on both ends of the floor. He’s excellent off the ball as a spot-up guy and has the smarts to make plays in complementary fashion. </span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046346" first="Jake" last="Wagner"], Strasburg/Zeeland</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wagner is a consistent offensive performer, possessing the scoring ability from all three levels. He’s excellent playing through contact and getting to the rim. He was an all-region player a year ago and gives the Clippers a legitimate go-to guy to contend in Region 3.</span></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1046347" first="Julian" last="Hill"], Warwick</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hill stuffed the stat sheet for Warwick last year, averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. He’s been productive since he started playing varsity basketball and while he struggled with his efficiency as a junior, he’s a player who can take over stretches of a game on both ends of the floor. </span></p>
