City Rankings -Bismarck Top 15

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bismarck is oozing with talent and this was not an easy list to make. Some will be missed. I found 15 prospects in the city/area that I feel deserved to get a mention as top prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schools/Teams Included:<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bismarck Century</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bismarck Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bismarck High </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bismarck St. Mary's</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shiloh Christian </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mandan </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='100419' first='Logan' last='Nissley'] - Bismarck Century - The #1 prospect in the state happens to be the #1 prospect in her city. I would assume her main goal this season is to bring back the championship banner to Century.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='245588' first='McKenna' last='Johnson'] - Mandan - The 6-2 Sophomore has already broken out but she's in store for a major season and will solidify herself as a top prospect in the region. Major national D1 programs have her on notice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='100420' first='Bergan' last='Kinnebrew'] - Bismarck Century - Bergan committed to D2 University of Mary and they are getting a good one. A D1 level talent that is creative as a scorer and tough to contain.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='375796' first='Brooklynn' last='Felchle'] - Bismarck Legacy - You can't teach size and Felchle has that at 6-3 and a complete frame with a length and a strong build.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='196272' first='Peyton' last='Neumiller'] - Bismarck High - Peyton is a stud offensive player but she may be even better as a defensive playmaker. Look for her scoring output to take a jump and for her to continue to be a disruptive defensive player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 [player_tooltip player_id='213379' first='Alyssa' last='Eckroth'] - Bismarck Legacy - Alyssa recently committed to D2 Western Colorado. She's been mentioned on the site a bunch, but I'm not sure I've mentioned her intangibles and love for game. Works on her game year-round and is consistently improving. I like that she chose D2, as she'll be an impact player at that level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 [player_tooltip player_id='248044' first='Mykendra' last='Messer'] - Bismarck St. Mary's - There's a lot to like about Mykendra as a prospect. A non-flashy guard/wing with size and is a knockdown three-point shooter. Has a textbook release from three and is highly accurate. Has a strong frame that she uses well to defend in the post. One of the more complete prospects you'll find. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 [player_tooltip player_id='100449' first='Hailey' last='Quam'] - Shiloh Christian - Hailey has a good size at 6-0 and production combination as the Class A level. I would love to see her compete at the A level to see how she would fare. Her motor and ability to finish as a scorer is respected by many.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#9 [player_tooltip player_id='218143' first='Mia' last='Berryhill'] - Bismarck Legacy - Mia is a prospect that could easily climb this list in the early goings of the high school season. She's been expanding her individual offensive game and becoming a playmaker. Could be in for a surprising Junior season. <br><br>#10 [player_tooltip player_id='219710' first='Jayden' last='Wiest'] - Mandan - Jayden missed last season due to injury but she's in store to produce for Mandan in her Junior season. High intangibles and work ethic from my sources. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#11 [player_tooltip player_id='378042' first='Jersey' last='Berg'] - Bismarck High - Jersey is a highly underrated prospect that needs and deserves to be mentioned more. 5.6 ppg. as a Sophomore on a very good Bismarck roster.<br><br>#12 [player_tooltip player_id='100422' first='Lydia' last='Spies'] - Bismarck St. Mary's - Lydia is an athletic and explosive guard that also handles the ball for St.Mary's. I'm not sure if she translates to a point guard but she translates as a playmaking guard, without a doubt.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 [player_tooltip player_id='242587' first='Dedra' last='Wood'] - Shiloh Christian - Dedra isn't talked about enough as a long 6-0 guard/wing. One I'll watch more coming up but she can score and move at size and length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#14 [player_tooltip player_id='243474' first='Paige' last='Breuer'] - Bismarck High - Paige is in store for a large role going into her Junior season with both Gerving guards graduating. Scored 8.0 ppg. and that number should take a nice bump up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#15 [player_tooltip player_id='464291' first='Whitney' last='Welk'] - Bismarck Legacy - A smaller prospect but is an electric athlete with elite movement skills. She plays full-go on both ends and is constantly impacting the game with her athletic ability. She's one I'm excited to watch and see what her high school role will be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Honorable Mention: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='482103' first='Anna' last='Lyles'] - The 2026 prospect is one I haven't seen yet, but she is expected to be one of the top players in Bismarck going forward. A 5-8 shooting guard to look out for for Mandan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='408213' first='Lexi' last='Gerving'] of St. Mary's barely misses the list. A prospect I like that may be overlooked.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
