Phil played an important role for the Class A Champions last season. This coming season, we expect Beulah to be one of the best once again and for Weidner to be the most productive rebounder in Class A. PHD fully believes that Philip will make a ton of noise and be a Double-Double machine this winter.

Philip has looked tough this spring with ND Phenom and continues to put together a very impressive club season. The strong, hard-working big man impacts the game in multiple ways and consistently produces with his toughness and motor. Weidner rebounds like a vacuum around the basket and rarely wastes opportunities offensively, finishing at a highly efficient rate whenever he gets touches near the hoop. One of the more encouraging parts of his development has been the strides he’s making defensively on the perimeter, showing improved mobility and confidence guarding away from the paint. Philip is also beginning to stretch the floor more consistently with his outside shot, adding another layer to his game. His physicality, effort, and continued development make him a player trending in the right direction.

“ Philip Weidner Philip Weidner 6'5" | PF Beulah | 2029 State ND is a 2029 playing up a stage. He won a State Title this high school season. He is probably the best pure rebounder in North Dakota right now. He just has a different level of ability to dominate the glass. He has some ability to score from the perimeter, but his most impactful winning trait is his ability to dominate the glass.“

Has great size and strength, plays very aggressively on the defensive side of the ball. Has great feet for a big man of his age and not only can but will be able to guard multiple positions. Should be a beast on both the offensive and defensive boards. His offensive game is coming along nicely as well.
