ND Class A Games to Watch

<span style="font-weight: 400">The season is young, but there have already been some huge games that paint a picture of the power structure in Class A North Dakota basketball. There may not be quite the high-profile games this week compared to the ones last week - in particular the Century vs. Mandan contest - but there are a handful of intriguing matchups featuring potential contenders. </span> <span style="font-weight: 400">Here are some games to pay attention to this week in Class A:</span> <em><strong>Jamestown vs. Bismarck Legacy - Tuesday, Dec. 11</strong></em> <span style="font-weight: 400">Jamestown is off to a really nice start with a pair of wins including one over Bismarck St. Mary’s. Legacy is 3-0 on the season - albeit wins over teams that are closer to the bottom tier than upper-echelon - and winning in dominant fashion. A win for Jamestown would be quite the statement. Cameron Selvig and Courtney Peterson have been great for the Bluejays early in the season. </span> <em><strong>Bismarck St. Mary’s vs. Minot - Tuesday, Dec. 11</strong></em> <span style="font-weight: 400">Two teams that figure to compete for top-four finishes in the WDA are off to slow-ish starts. The Saints are 1-2 with losses at Fargo Shanley and against Jamestown while Minot is 1-1 with a win over Dickinson. Allie Nelson is averaging 19.5 points in the first two games. She’s the go-to girl for the Magicians. </span> <strong><em>Fargo Shanley vs. West Fargo Sheyenne - Friday, Dec. 14</em></strong> <span style="font-weight: 400">Shanley looks like the clear best team in the EDC through the first couple weeks of the season, sporting wins over Bismarck St. Mary’s, West Fargo and Wahpeton. A win over 2-1 West Fargo Sheyenne would be another high-quality win as the Mustangs are among the contenders in the league. </span>
