ND Class B: All-Region 8 Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is our 8th and final version of the All-Region Predictions for Class B ND hoops. The first practice of the season is on <strong><em>November 28th</em></strong> and then things will get heated up for Class B basketball. Who is the best in Region 8? The favorites have to be Powers Lake and Stanley. [player_tooltip player_id='1050257' first='Tyson' last='Enget'] is a top player in the State and he puts up gaudy numbers. He will certainly be in the discussion when it comes to the Mr. Basketball nominations. Stanley won the Region Championship last year and Powers Lake will be ready to get that back this year. Will anyone else challenge the Ranchers and Blue Jays for the top spot?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Time to look at PHD's predictions on All-Region 8...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1126976,"width":306,"height":191,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/NorthDakota.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/02/NorthDakota.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1126976" width="306" height="191"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"textDecoration":"underline"}},"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size" style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>All-Region 8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1050257' first='Tyson' last='Enget'] (2023) |5-11 PG| Powers Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-1st Team All-State last year w/ 25 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 4.9 apg, 5 spg, 49 FG%, complete playmaker, has all the skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gracin Schroeder (2023) |6-0 G|</strong> <strong>Powers Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-All-District last year w/ 9 ppg and 5 rpg, a smooth jump shooter, has a nice floater game, hustle &amp; plays hard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1126990' first='Jase' last='Dickens'] (2023) |6'4 SG| White Shield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-A long guard that can impact the game from beyond the arc, has extended range, spaces the floor, quick shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1203570' first='Oscar' last='Felix'] (2024) |6'4 SF| White Shield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-A very very good rebounder, good skills &amp; feel, active on both sides of the ball, slasher &amp; versatile finisher at the cup</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1145117' first='Josh' last='Hetzel'] (2024) |6'0 G| Stanley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Shot Blue Jays to State last year, All-Region, averaged 13 ppg &amp; hit 52 triples, deadly shooter &amp; lethal at the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1145118' first='Jackson' last='Hynek'] (2024) |6'2 F| Stanely</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Helped lead the Blue Jays to State, averaged 9 ppg &amp; 7 rpg, very good offensive rebounder, solid all-around player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Laramie Smith (2023) |6-4 F|</strong> <strong>Stanley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-Big player for the Region Champs last year, averaged 9 ppg &amp; 5 rpg, physical/strong, finishes well through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1133049' first='Wyatt' last='Caraballo'] (2023) |6-2 G| Divide County</strong>&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-He averaged 12 ppg &amp; 4 rpg last year, good sized &amp; athletic guard, plays hard on both ends, a slashing playmaker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1655325' first='Jack' last='Zimmer'] (2024) |6'1 G| Kenmare/Bowbells</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-All-Region last season &amp; averaged 17 ppg &amp; 4.4 apg, a flat-out bucket-getter!
