Fargo Davies: Season Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops Dakotas has another Season Preview for the basketball fans to look at. We are talking about the reigning State Champions in class AA! The Eagles will be a new-look team with 1st year head coach Matt Veit and they graduate a good amount of talent. However, Davies is still full of skilled ballers and is loaded with athletes. Davies will once again be a top-tier program in AA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"20px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:20px"><strong>School:&nbsp;</strong>Fargo Davies</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"20px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:20px"><strong>Mascot:</strong>&nbsp;Eagles</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"20px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:20px"><strong>Head Coach:</strong>&nbsp;Matt Veit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"20px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:20px"><strong>Class:</strong>&nbsp;AA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"20px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:20px"><strong>Region:&nbsp;</strong>EDC</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>See below for stats, player info, and an interesting Q&amp;A session with Coach&nbsp;Veit!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":813156,"width":"242px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/11/PGHDakotasTeamPreview-crop-658x432-1701105064.jpg?w=657" alt="" class="wp-image-813156" style="width:242px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"25px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:25px"><strong>Team Stats 2023-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PPG:</strong> 76.4 <strong>APG: </strong>16.5 <strong>RPG:</strong> 29 <strong>SPG:</strong> 15.5 <strong>BPG:</strong> 2.3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FG%:</strong> 44 <strong>3FG%:</strong> 63.4 <strong>3FGM:</strong> 265 <strong>FT%:</strong> 68.8 <strong>FTM:</strong> 297</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"25px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:25px"><strong>Player To Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='410048' first='Mariah' last='Burian'] (2026) 5'8 G -</strong> 8.1 PPG/4.2 RPG/2.7 APG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='461314' first='Fallon' last='Passanante'] (2026) 5'10 G</strong> -
