PHD caught the 8:00 AM between [program_tooltip program_id='2075741' first='ND' last='Phenom'] 2026 vs. Minnesota Heat Conyers 17U at the Pacers Athletic Center. It was a bittersweet morning. PHD had fun watching the North Dakota ballers play one last time, but it was also the last day in the gym on the PH Circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">SCORE</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='2075741' first='ND' last='Phenom'] 70</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Minnesota Heat Conyers 61</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2908264,"width":"304px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/image_6c4cff.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/image_6c4cff.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2908264" style="width:304px;height:auto"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"25px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:25px"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Sunday Scribbles</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-It was good to see the NDSU coaches in the stands watching.
