A New Season, is UNDERWAY! (WDA UPDATE PART 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part 1 we touched base on Minot, Century, Bismarck, Legacy, St.Mary and Dickinson. Let's take a look at the rest of the WDA, and the statistical leaders up to this point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Manda High School: Mandan started off their season at home against #5 West Fargo Sheyenne in a big home outscoring the Mustangs 66-58. Probably the biggest excitement of the night other than the win was Junior [player_tooltip player_id='219710' first='Jayden' last='Wiest'] making her comeback after sitting out all of last year due to injury. She put up 25 points and was 5/8 from deep and tallied up 5 assists. I think it's safe to say welcome back Jayden! Their next game was a tough physical game against Bismarck High where they fell short 46-62. The Braves are shooting 28.6% from the field and led in scoring by [player_tooltip player_id='219710' first='Jayden' last='Wiest'], [player_tooltip player_id='245588' first='Mckenna' last='Johnson'], [player_tooltip player_id='478132' first='Emma' last='Bogner'] and Hailey Markle. (Due to a Blizzard 2 of their games have been rescheduled) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watford City: The Wolves started their season off traveling to Sidney, MT for a non-conference game where they picked up a 52-41 win. Following that they took on Legacy at Legacy in a hard-fought game but came up short 40-86. The Wolves are looking to hit their stride this year with some talented shooters and size to match. Unfortunately, 2 of their games were also rescheduled due to blizzard conditions. So far, the Wolves are shooting 34% from the field and led by [player_tooltip player_id='219713' first='Jessica' last='Mogen'], [player_tooltip player_id='195431' first='Gracen' last='Breitbach'] and [player_tooltip player_id='379966' first='Bailey' last='Mattson'] in the scoring column. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TMCHS: Much like other teams TMCHS has had 2 of their games rescheduled as well and are 0-2 to start the season. TMCHS played a hard-fought close game against Dickinson 54-64, and against Century 47-98. With their next game not scheduled till January 6th against Watford City, they will be looking for almost a fresh start to their season and come back in 2023 ready to pick up tallies in the win column. So far in the 2 games they have played they are shooting 32.7% from the field and lead by Tiyahha Trottier, Quinn Laducer and All-Stater [player_tooltip player_id='377821' first='Amya' last='Gourneau'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jamestown: The Blue jays are off and flying for the 22-23' season! They kicked off their year against St. Mary's in a close game 49-62, followed by another battle against Bismarck High in a loss 48-63. The Blue jays are looking to hit their stride in the next coming weeks against Valley City in a non-conference match up, followed by Minot high on the 22nd. Jamestown has all the pieces to the puzzle, and are led by scorers [player_tooltip player_id='100461' first='Ella' last='Falk'], [player_tooltip player_id='100464' first='Katie' last='Falk'] and Breanna Oettle. On the inside [player_tooltip player_id='100461' first='Ella' last='Falk'] has already picked up 27 rebounds in 2 games, she keeps that up she will be a huge tool for the blue jays this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>----WDA STAT LEADERS----</strong> (please keep in mind, some teams have only had 2 games so far this season, these numbers will change significantly over the next week or so)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Scoring: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='100419' first='Logan' last='Nissley'] 88pts/22ppg,</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379041' first='Lee' last='Lee Bell'] 65pts/21.7ppg, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='100420' first='Bergan' last='Kinnebrew'] 82pts/20.5ppg, </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379179' first='Taury' last='Hight'] 55pts/18.3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rebounding:</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='100461' first='Ella' last='Falk'] 27/13.5RPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='245588' first='Mckenna' last='Johnson'] 21/10.5RPG </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379041' first='Lee' last='Lee Bell'] 30/10.0RPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='100464' first='Katie' last='Falk'] 18/9.0RPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blocks:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='245588' first='Mckenna' last='Johnson'] 7/3.5BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379041' first='Lee' last='Lee Bell'] 10/3.3BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tiyahha Trottier 5/2.5BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='375796' first='Brooklynn' last='Felchle'] 4/2.0BPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Assists: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='377821' first='Amya' last='Gourneau'] 12/6.0 APG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='342164' first='Maggie' last='Fricke'] 18/6.0 APG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='196272' first='Peyton' last='Neumiller'] 11/5.5 APG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='219710' first='Jayden' last='Wiest'] 10/5.0 APG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Field Goals/FG%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='375796' first='Brooklynn' last='Felchle'] 13-19/68.4%</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379179' first='Taury' last='Hight']19-30/63.3%</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='100420' first='Bergan' last='Kinnebrew'] 25-48/52.1%</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
