<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='410352' first='Ellee' last='McIntosh'] (2026) |6'0 G| West Fargo</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-All-EDC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-10 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.8 apg, 36 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Spectacular-looking shot, top-notch mechanics w/ high/soft release, Moves well w/o the ball, smart/efficient cutter, good shooter from beyond the arc, hit 42 triples at 35 3FG%, looks to be a skilled player w/ nice size, will not be surprised if she averages a Double-Double this coming year</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='461314' first='Fallon' last='Passanante'] (2025) |5'9 G| Fargo Davies</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-All-EDC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-17.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 1.9 apg, 45.8 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Drilled 71 triples this past high school season & shot 39.4 3FG%, shooting it hot in club basketball as well, she has to be one of the best 3-point shooters in the Midwest, Passanante has sharp handles/skills but her shot is what really makes her standout, this Eagle can shoot the lights out</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='378889' first='Grace' last='Thiel'] (2025) |5'5 G| Fargo North</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-All-EDC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-12.9 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 2.2 apg, 29.9 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Much like her teammate Hammes, Thiel is a thief on defense who averaged 3.2 spg, a legit threat from the three-point arc with smooth release and extended range, good feet & I like her follow-through, strikes me as a fluid player w/ impressive feel for the game, makes the unselfish pass</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='331508' first='Jaiden' last='Haile'] (2025) |6'2 F| Horace</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-All-State & All-EDC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-24.0 ppg, 15.7 rpg, 1.6 apg, 61.9 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Committed to Gonzaga! Premier post in the Dakotas & the entire Midwest, incredible strength, exceptional hands, she catches everything even when the D is swarming her, feet and/or footwork for a player her size are unmatched, retains balance against contact, shoots an insanely high %</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='316049' first='Keelie' last='Sunde'] (2025) |5'9 G| Horace</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-8.7 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 3.6 apg, 38.8 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Has an offer from VCSU, Sunde is a good-sized combo guard who has above average ball skills/handles and shooting ability, however where Keelie separates herself from others is as an on-ball defender who is relentless and wears down her opponents., Sunde is a serious 2-way baller</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='555487' first='Jordan' last='Christofferson'] (2027) |5'11 F| Horace</strong></p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-11.2 ppg, 6 rpg, 1.5 apg, 45.8 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-NDSU & UND offers, Jo is an ascending forward prospect, provides position flexibility at 2-3-4 & even 5 w/ her skillset, 3level scorer, has transcending offensive bag against M2M & zone, defensively has the strength to play inside, can also contain smaller players on the perimeter</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='555488' first='Lakyn' last='Donnelly'] (2028) |5'5 G| Horace</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-All-EDC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Offers from UND & St. Thomas, 1 of the more skilled players you will see on the court regardless of age or gender, able to overcome lack of size w/ a plethora of O-moves that keeps her primary defender off-balance, however it all starts w/ Lakyn being 1 of the best 3point shooters in ND</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='385163' first='Lauren' last='Reardon'] (2025) |5'8 G| Grand Forks Central</strong></p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Has an offer from UND, scored a ridiculous 61 points in a single game and has poured in well over 1,000 career points, smooth and skilled w/ the rock, plays hard & moves well on the hardwood, can fill-it-up from every level, stat stuffer & a major playmaker, finishes well w/ both hands</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='525627' first='Nora' last='Roney'] (2025) |5'8 G| Shanley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>-5.7 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg, 41.4 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Good skill & can score from 3levels, makes plays as a passer & shooter, looking good/playing well in club ball w/ NDPro (8-0 start), extremely smart w/ & w/o the ball, great on D, creates havoc, knows what to do w/ the rock when she gets a touch, will be a solid college basketball player</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='378891' first='Olivia' last='Hammes'] (2025) |5'8 G| Fargo North</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-All-EDC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-10.1 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 2.5 apg, 40.4 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Hammes is a disrupter on defense w/ a knack for creating TO's w/ impressive defensive instincts, averaged 3.5 spg, looks good in the catch-n-shoot game, clever player who seems to make the correct basketball play, does a bit of everything on the court & excels at being well-rounded</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='641204' first='Taylor' last='Majkrzak'] (2026) |5'9 G/F| Horace</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-3 ppg, 3 rpg, 1 apg, 31.2 FG%</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Majkrzak is a versatile wing who can guard multiple positions, she fits the mold of a 3&D type of player, Taylor has extended range and a quick trigger that can cripple zone defenses, however she is more than a shooter, Majkrzak can defend, rebound & makes plays in the transition game</p>
