<p>Lots of movement this round of rankings. Here is part 1.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Azure is a key returner on a very good Turtle Mountain team. She is one of three really good players that will take the brunt of the scoring duties. She is a physical forward who does a great job of using her strength to get to the basket. She is a good defender and rebounder. The Braves will be really good defending near the basket and an excellent rebounding team due to Akealyes and her teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1217411' first='Emberlyn' last='Poitra'].</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Messer is a premiere talent in the Midwest. She earned a lot of attention this offseason with stellar AAU play and had nearly every NSIC school after her. She decided on committing to Southwest Minnesota State University, a school that recently won the National Division 2 championship just a few years ago. She is an elite athlete and elevates really well in the lane for tough to defend mid-range jump shots. Her athletic ability will transfer smoothly and she will have the chance to be a very good defender at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">You can tell Rachel has played a lot of basketball when you see her on the court. She naturally moves to space and has a great flow to her game. She plays with supreme confidence on the floor and has a great leadership quality to her demeanor. She can knock down the mid-range J, and displays some impressive passing. She has a strong frame and is one of the best two returners for Harvey/Wells.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I have been a [player_tooltip player_id='641200' first='Megan' last='Dietz'] fan for a long time and saw her potential early as a young player. She has a handful of Division 2 offers and recently was offered by Division 1 local school NDSU. The senior is looking to lead the Shanley Deacons back to the state tournament in 2025-2026. She is part of a really talented group that will have opportunities to win a bunch of games. She can play inside and out and defend multiple positions. She has a really high ceiling as a recruit.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">The All-District and All-Region award winner is back and ready for another outstanding season. She has earned herself a handful of college offers, most recently from Dakota State College at Bottineau and St. Catherine's. Will is a really talented guard and made a leap in this round of rankings and will go up even higher next round. She shoots the ball really well and has the ball on a string when she dribbles. She is a special player who is a true floor general on the court for her team.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Benson County will have a chance to repeat as state champions with Kenner leading the way. The UMary commit has a lot of really good things going for her. She is a smooth player on the floor and moves really well. She has a great first step and displays good quickness. I like her versatility with the ball. She can get downhill and to the basket, can pull up for a nice mid-range, or stretch the floor from behind the three-point line. Aubrey is setting herself up for an excellent senior season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The star forward for Oakes made some noise this summer and earned herself a spot on the Jamestown College Jimmies next season in 2026-2027. I trust Thad Sankey's talent evaluation and trust he got a good one in Friedt. She is a 6' forward with a lot of game. She has great footwork and knows small intricacies of the game that are sometimes hard to teach posts. She can flip ball screens naturally and does a great job of catching passes in traffic. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Limvere keeps getting better each time I watch her play. I think she is South's most talented player and her improvement indicates her having a great work ethic. She is receiving some recruiting attention after having a terrific AAU season. Many regional junior colleges have offered Tameka. Local NAIA school Valley City is her most recent offer. This is a level that I think she will thrive at.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Reagan is a critical returner for a Demons squad looking to get back to the state tournament in 25-26. She is a long guard who moves well on the court. I like her defensive effort and her ability to create turnovers in Bismarck's signature press game. Reagan is one of the top players on her team and will have a legitimate shot at earning a spot on the All-WDA team this season.</p>
