Beasts in the East - Class AA EDC

The top tier talent in North Dakota is as good as it has ever been. Here are some of the most exciting players in the East.    Fallon is a multi-year All-Conference player and one of the best two-guards in the state. Last season she averaged 17.2 points per game shooting 46% from the field, 39% from three, and 78% from the free throw line. She also snagged 6.1 rebounds per game. She has a very nice shot and an impressive jumping ability. Fallon is a no-nonsense type of player who will take it to you. She is a lock for another All-EDC year and should make the All-State team this season.     [player_tooltip player_id='331508' first='Jaiden' last='Haile'] was a 1st team All-State selection as a Junior.  Look for her to return to that exclusive list of players this season as well.  The Gonzaga commit averaged 24 points per game and 15.7 rebounds per game while shooting an extremely efficient 61% from the field.  Perhaps Jaiden's most impressive stat is her 6.1 offensive rebounds per game.  This is a direct correlation to her relentless effort around the rim.  The effort she plays with is as impressive as any player I have seen.      Laykn has been on the varsity scene since her 7th grade year – a tremendous accomplishment.  Lakyn's fundamentals are incredibly impressive – she is a terrific ball handler, sees the floor well, and can score it from anywhere.  She shot 36.6% from behind the arc and averaged 14.6 points per game.  Look for both of those numbers to improve this season.  Lakyn holds multiple Division 1 offers including offers from University of North Dakota, North Dakota State University, and University of St. Thomas.  She also recently went on a visit to Big 10 School University of Minnesota.  Look for big things from Lakyn this season.     Jordan is a top notch athlete with the ability to space the floor for [player_tooltip player_id='331508' first='Jaiden' last='Haile'] to work near the rim.  She made 24 three pointers at a terrific 45.3% clip.  Her size and athletic ability combined with her outside shooting is what has local college coaches excited about her.  Jordan holds Division 1 offers from University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University.  Her motor, positive attitude, and great defensive effort is going to be a huge plus for the Hawks this season.     [player_tooltip player_id='385163' first='Lauren' last='Reardon'], who has signed with D1 UND, is an incredible talent. She is so fun to watch and plays with great pace. Her reading of the floor and decision making is very good. She averaged over 22 points per game last season, scoring from everywhere on the floor. She is really good at getting past her primary defender and putting defenses into rotation. Lauren will have another terrific year and be up for every post season award once the season concludes.     Quinn is the definition of “steady” on the floor.  Quinn averaged 8.8 points per game on 45% shooting from the field, 42% from three, and 81% from the free throw line.  She is always prepared and you always know what you are going to get from her: great decision making, great defense, solid ball handling, and good shooting.  Quinn and Fallon are going to make the Davies Eagles very tough to beat. I predict Quinn makes the All-EDC team this year.     Grace is a very quick guard that does a lot of things really well. I really like her hesitation moves and her ability to change speed and direction. She is able to knock down the 3 if she gets her feet set. Grace, a multi-year All-EDC selection, will be relied upon every night the Spartans play. She will have to carry the team offensively and lead their defensive effort as well. She is a double figure scorer and will improve upon last season's numbers. She is also a very good passer, setting up her teammates for success. Grace will be a lock once again for an All-EDC selection in 24-25.     Rylee is a big time player and already has multiple D1 offers. Look for those offers to continue to pour in as she progresses throughout high school. She had a very solid 8th grade year last season and will only get better. What is really impressive to me is her competitive nature and her ability to step up and hit the big shot when her team needs it. Rylee will be a multi-year All-EDC selection starting with 2024-2025. She is going to be a great player for the Shanley Deacons.    Keep an eye on these girls night in and night out to line up and dominate.
