Blake had a great weekend trying to establish himself among the 17's. He was asked to be more aggressive and he surely did that. He attacked the boards and had multiple blocks every game. Blake earned himself an Augie Offer for his play and will continue to get better!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1655908' first='Bo' last='Begeman'] (2027) |6'4 SF| Clark/Willow Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The young and immensely talented Cyclone from CWL brought home the Championship this past weekend at the ECI Spring Showcase. Heiser Skills 15U Black won it all and Begeman was one of the top 15U players in the event. Bo's length caused problems for opposing teams, his arms never seem to end. On offense, Bo knocked down triples, showcased a sweet fadeaway J, and got buckets with O-board putbacks. He truly is a matchup headache with his length &amp; skills. Begeman is already a seasoned veteran in varsity basketball, big things are coming his way. I know coach <em>Nesheim</em> is excited to have him for 3 more years!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1537903' first='Brady' last='Vetter'] (2027) |6'2 G| Fargo Davies</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The promising young Eagle helped [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] 15U Froslie go 3-1 at the [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Spring Showcase.

Kessell was a gamechanger!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1510890' first='Dylan' last='Glasser'] (2026) |6'0 G| Dickinson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] 16U Selects are hot and fresh off an [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Spring Showcase Championship! They started the year with a loss but are currently on an 11-game win streak. Their defensive pressure has been a key factor and they are rebounding at a high level. They should get tested this weekend at Battle At The Lakes. At the [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] tournament, Dylan showcased his ability to hit shots outside, get to the rim, and finish with versatility. He has been outstanding on the defensive end as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1297808' first='Easton' last='Neuendorf'] (2025) |5'11 PG| Hamlin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>3-1 record at the Scheels League with a nice win over [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] in overtime.

Stormo iced the game in OT with his clutch free throws.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1418033' first='Grant' last='Bieber'] (2026) |6'2 G| Bismarck</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] 16U Selects are hot and fresh off an [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Spring Showcase Championship!

He has done a great job of lighting it up from the perimeter and is currently one of the most consistent shooters in 16U basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1651920' first='Owen' last='Terras'] (2027) |6'2 SF| Horace</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A key player for [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] 15U Mattern this weekend. Terras helped his squad win 4 games and finish Runner-Up to a nice Heiser squad from South Dakota. Owen had a very nice weekend in Fargo and his unselfishness was on display. Owen does not get a ton of shots up but he likely leads the team in assists. Terras does good work on defense, he is smart on helpside and he uses his length to his advantage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2433394' first='Trevor' last='Everson'] (2028) |5'9 G| Castlewood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The [program_tooltip program_id='2338386' first='Dakota' last='Niners'] hosted a tournament in Watertown this past weekend, they took second place, and finished with a 3-1 record.

This kid is a baller and a stat stuffer. Everson can score from all 3-levels with ease, plays with a high IQ, and he excels at getting teammates involved. The young Warrior is a coach on the floor and a top-notch defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2433399' first='Will' last='Alderhold'] (2028) |6'5 F| Castlewood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The [program_tooltip program_id='2338386' first='Dakota' last='Niners'] hosted a tournament in Watertown this past weekend, they took second place, and finished with a 3-1 record.
