Player Notes: WF vs. Horace

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>West Fargo, ND -</strong> PHD made it to the gym last night to watch the Packers take on the Hawks. Coming into this EDC matchup, West Fargo held a 2-3 overall record and Horace came in with a 1-2 record.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one was all Packers all the way! Horace did put up a bit of a fight in the early minutes of the first half. However, that did not last long and the Packers went into halftime up by 11 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the second half, it did not take long for the Packers to assert their will upon the fledgling Hawks. West Fargo was the aggressor on offense, defense, the boards, and they put the pedal to the metal in the 2nd half of play. [player_tooltip player_id='1167611' first='Bonfas' last='Loria'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1164786' first='Tony' last='Leal'] played well but the young guards for WF really impressed me. The Packers looked good on Tuesday night! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1735684,"width":"382px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/GameReport.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/GameReport.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-1735684" style="width:382px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">SCORES</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HALFTIME:</strong> West Fargo <strong>39</strong> Horace <strong>28</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>FINAL:</strong> West Fargo <strong>78</strong> Horace <strong>57</strong></span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FT's:</strong> West Fargo 13/14 Horace 10/19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3's Made:</strong> West Fargo 7 Horace 5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>West Fargo Scoring:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1164786' first='Tony' last='Leal'] 20, [player_tooltip player_id='1167611' first='Bonfas' last='Loria'] 16, [player_tooltip player_id='1338493' first='Aiden' last='Samek'] 14, [player_tooltip player_id='1327800' first='Sam' last='Glandt'] 7, Landon Troftgruben 7, [player_tooltip player_id='1164764' first='Keyton' last='McGregor'] 5, [player_tooltip player_id='1327795' first='Beckett' last='Pfau'] 4, [player_tooltip player_id='1541295' first='Haakon' last='Seymour'] 3, Josh Pease 2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Horace Scoring: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1322499' first='Moose' last='Diomande'] 14, [player_tooltip player_id='1189404' first='Brady' last='Westphal'] 12, [player_tooltip player_id='1329335' first='Deng' last='Dut'] 9, [player_tooltip player_id='1329356' first='Brycen' last='Hoffer'] 5, [player_tooltip player_id='1327797' first='Carter' last='Evanson'] 5, [player_tooltip player_id='1680906' first='Aiden' last='Green'] 4, [player_tooltip player_id='1541297' first='Kaiden' last='Peterson'] 3, Jay Sanchez 1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2302277,"width":"379px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/PlayerNotes.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/PlayerNotes.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-2302277" style="width:379px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">West Fargo Packers</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1164786' first='Tony' last='Leal'] (2024) |6'5 PF|</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-BIG &amp;
