North Dakota Fargo Davies 52 — Fargo Shanley 47 [player_tooltip player_id="240173" first="Ashton" last="Safranski"] - 5’6 PG 2024 - Fargo Davies - Dubbed as a preseason breakout candidate, Ashton is off to a hot start with 17 points and 9 rebounds against Fargo Shanley. Her quickness on the court is extremely noticeable and it’s what makes her such an impact player. Possibly the most disruptive on-ball defender in the state. [player_tooltip player_id="257896" first="Mesiku" last="Hakim"] - 6’0 F/C 2024 - Fargo Shanley - Mesiku is an athletic interior player for Shanley. She was active with 9 points and 8 rebounds. [player_tooltip player_id="218144" first="Karley" last="Franks"] - 5’7 G 2024 - Fargo Davies - What stood out about Karley is that it looks as though she has added some strength and size to her frame from a year ago. Allowing her to move better and take on contact more effectively. She put in 9 points, 4 rebounds, with one three against Fargo Shanley. Bismarck Century 85 — Dickinson 49 [player_tooltip player_id="100419" first="Logan" last="Nissley"] - 6’0 CG 2023 - Bismarck Century - The #1 rated 2023 in North Dakota is now listed at six-foot. I’ve mentioned this a few times, but she’s the best shooter in the Dakotas by my opinion. 30 points in game one. [player_tooltip player_id="100420" first="Bergan" last="Kinnebrew] - 5’11 CG 2023 - Bismarck Century - Bergan is another breakout candidate off to a good start game one with 15 points.

[player_tooltip player_id="341476" first="Eden" last="Fridley"] - 5’9 PG 2024 - Bismarck Century - Eden is a young rising prospect in the state. Probably in the top 10 or so in the 2024 class in the next update. She can defend at a high level and is also strong offensively. Handles the ball, passes, and shoots the ball well.

[player_tooltip player_id="211403" first="Chloe" last="Pfau"] - 17 and 25 points in the first two games, averaging 8.0 rebounds and 5 steals a contest. Receiving D2 interest.

She is fed the ball routinely and the offense goes through her. A big that is a true post with smoothness to her game. Doesn’t play overly strong but she goes at contact and lived at the line vs. Stanley County. Opened the season with a 24 point game against Wall. Came out and scored 10 points in the opening quarter, not letting up, to finish with an impressive 36 point game versus Stanley County. [player_tooltip player_id="362676" first="Kinsey" last="Evans"] - 5’5 G 2024 - Chamberlain - Kinsey is a lightning quick guard with elite movement and lateral movement ability. She’s a defensive nightmare for opposing ball-handlers and offenses trying to set up their game plan. Offensively, she handles the point and uses her quickness well to get in the lane to put up a layup off the glass or a floater up and over the defense. Kinsey was a mismatch for Stanley County on both ends. She scored 15 points. [player_tooltip player_id="362663" first="Jayslee" last="Petersen"] - 6’0 F 2022 - Chamberlain - Jayslee is a 6-footer that was just added to the database.

[player_tooltip player_id="188421" first="Mattie" last="Duffy"] - 5’7 G 2024 - Stanley County - Mattie is a scorer for Stanley County. A guard with a solid, well-rounded skill-set. Has a smooth jumper and is deadly from three. Can go off the dribble and become a scorer in a variety of ways. Possesses a very strong floater game going to the baseline area. She scored 27 points in the game, with 16 coming in the second half. Notable Performances - [player_tooltip player_id="14244" first="Hannah" last="Ronsiek"] - Scored a career high 33 points.

She had a big opening game with 20 points and 10 rebounds. She’s an under the radar prospect that can play at the next level.
