Player’s You’ll Want to Watch Tonight!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With high school hoops finally here let's talk about some games that'll be playing tonight and some key athletes that you'll want to watch hoop in their season opener. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Napoleon</strong> Vs. Center-Stanton - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='278881' first='Teagan' last='Erbele']</strong> - We took an in depth look at Erbele recently, but I'm telling you she's something special on the floor. You'll want to catch her live in action as she this lefty is a bucket getter! She's versatile enough from 15 feet that if she gets the right angle, you might as well add 2 points to the score board. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Powers Lake Vs. <strong>Westhope/Newburg</strong> - <strong>Kimberley Tabarez</strong> - A certified bucket from last year, Tabarez averaged 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists last season. With the departure of leading scorer Ellie Braaten, it's free reigns for Tabarez to showcase those scoring numbers. Kimberley isn't currently ranked that high on a senior ranking board, but a player that doesn't get enough love for how hard she plays. Watch this dark horse in action tonight as she's sure to move up our charts throughout the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>South Border Vs. <strong>Sargent County</strong> - <strong>Halle Nelson</strong> - Senior starter for the bulldogs Halle Nelson is a beast on the inside presence. She's strong, plays physical and knows how to position her body for easy points, she's a force to be reckon with defensively as well adding length, speed and agility on the court. She's such a fun player to watch and a player of the game pick for tonight's game against the Mustangs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LaMoure</strong> Vs. Richland - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='379592' first='Norah' last='DelaBarre']</strong> - Norah is an extremely versatile player for the Loboes that played varsity since 8th grade. She can shoot, drive, defend and do the little things coaches ask of their players. A solid help side defender that can also guard the post. Vise-versa she can also take smaller guards to the post and workout for easy points. A talent that you're going to want to see as she brings a meal to the table for everyone to eat off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kidder County</strong> Vs. Wilton Wing - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='415685' first='Taylor' last='Zimmerman']</strong> - Do you like explosive scorers that can get it done from 25 feet out? Look no further as Taylor has you covered. A lengthy guard that has if I dare say the best handles out of all 2026 North Dakota guards. She's explosive, aggressive and composed. Characteristics you don't find much with Sophomores. I expect she'll light up the score board tonight as the Wolves bring that defensive pressure their known for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Watford City</strong> Vs. New Town - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219713' first='Jessica' last='Mogen']</strong> - Jessica was one of the most explosive scorers in the WDA last year being a true 3 level scorer. She takes the court tonight with a lot of talent to showcase. With Watford City now in Class A and no longer in the WDA the competition has devalued just a hint, I expect the same numbers and then some from Mogen this year. If you like fireworks on the court, she'll have you covered. Be sure to tune in for this game tonight at 7:15. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
