Josie Jensen Josie Jensen 6'2" | C Northern Cass | 2024 State ND – Northern Cass – 6’2 – Josie is a 6 ft paint beast that has a backdown badge on future hall of fame. She’s strong, physical and can finish with either hand around the rim. She’s got a sweet-looking hook off the right block as she seals her man dribbling with the left and hooking back right. She’s a force for sure. With her size and presence, it’s no wonder why Northern Cass is a legitimate threat each year. Her role this year is simple. Seek and destroy!
Mckenna Mcilonie Mckenna Mcilonie 5'5" | SG Oak Grove | 2024 State ND – Oak Grove – 5’5 – Mcilonie isn’t talked about enough! A dager from deep that’s got this rainbow jump shot that seems to go in upon release. She’s proved time and time again to be a deep-range threat that is very consistent. It doesn’t matter if she’s coming off a screen from the right corner or off the bounce spraying in the defense’s face this hooper can shoot! Aside from her offensive upside, she’s a surprisingly solid defender who’s got quick feet. I expect nothing but hard work and deep shots this year as the Grovers look to improve upon a rather impressive season last year.
Drew Potratz Drew Potratz 5'4" | PG Valley City | 2024 State ND – Valley City – 5’4 – Drew is a solid high IQ player who is fairly underrated in my opinion. I think she’s got enough juice to play at the next level as she works hard and makes the right reads on offense. I think her time playing against bigger competition has really developed her game over the years and that’s what makes her a special player. I definitely can see her going to JUCO for 2 years before NAIA ball. A solid defender and a quick guard who can get downhill. I’m definitely interested to see what this rising guard brings to the table this coming season.
Avery Amerman Avery Amerman 5'9" | SF Kindred | 2024 State ND – Kindred – 5’9 – A solid-sized guard that can play the 3 spot as well. Avery has been a part of a stacked Kindred Squad that won Class B 2 years ago so is no stranger to winning and what it takes to be a champion. A dedicated hard worker who is surely to shine bright this year in the reclassification for North Dakota hoops. Avery is a solid defender who’s got a nice wingspan and later quickness for cutting off smaller, faster guards. She’s definitely an underrated prospect that you’re going to want to tune into this coming season.
Kyra Haecherl Kyra Haecherl 5'10" | PF Lisbon | 2024 State ND – Lisbon – 5’10 – We discussed this athlete a day or so ago, but man do I love her game. An aggressive opponent in the post that doesn’t take no for an answer. If you thought Josie could back down defenders then you’re in for a treat with this athlete. Kyra’s got great strength and court awareness and no matter the increased talent in Class A Region 1 she’s an athlete that will surely be fine navigating to her spot on the court and going right to work from the block like nothing ever changed.
