Some got a taste of varsity action as 8th graders and some will get their shot at minutes this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["924323"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c095e46b484"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'1 guard has been in and out of the lineup the last two seasons, an impressive feat for a middle schooler. Now a freshman, I predict Vanessa will see an increase in minutes and production. She is a true 6'1 and quick enough laterally to defend smaller guards. Shanley has a ton of post players which allows Borr to practice against bigger bodies every day. She has a nice shooting form and can knock down the three. Vanessa is a potential All-EDC player and a nice college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1152503"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c095e46b4f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I think Stevick is going to be a big-time player for the Minot Majette's. She has all of the tools to be great and to be a multi-year All-WDA player. She is incredibly athletic and looks like she is a gear above everyone else on the court. She played C squad and JV this last season as an 8th grader and will be fighting for varsity minutes this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1124668"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c095e46b548"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As mentioned in previous articles, Christensen is someone that Fargo North is going to rely upon early this season. The 2029 guard played a handful of varsity minutes this last season as an 8th grader and will be a key player the next four years. North graduates a ton of guards which will allow Claire to slide nicely into the starting lineup. She plays extremely hard and is a coachable athlete. She has good strength and athleticism and thrives driving downhill to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1152547"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c095e46b596"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bachmeier has the length and athleticism to be a great high school player. She is going to be an easy 'plug-in-play' at the varsity level. She is going to be able to come in early as an underclassman and be an easy substitute for Coach Schwartz. Mckenzie plays with great enthusiasm and effort. She runs the floor hard and is a great defender and rebounder. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1126172"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c095e46b5e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stevenson is another girl on this list who played quite a bit of varsity basketball last season as an 8th grader. She made some solid contributions and has had a great summer according to her head coach. Her dedication to improving is something that everyone can appreciate in a young player. She has the skills to be a good high school player and someone Dickinson will need to improve their wins from last season going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1152567"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c095e46b632"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tatum is the other 29' from Dickinson who found herself on a varsity roster as a middle schooler. She is a solid 5'10 and someone who I think has great potential. She looks like she can gain strength easily with a commitment to the weight room which will be critical to battle against all of the tough players in the WDA. She moves well on the court and makes a great effort to rebound. She has a bright future as a high school player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1152479"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68c095e46b67c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Knutson has a great role model in her older sister Eve, an All-WDA selection in 2024-2025. Ava looks like she is going to be a similar player as Eve and that is a great thing to look forward to if you are a Minot fan. Ava can knock down the outside shot and has the form and focus to become a sniper from deep in the future. She can handle the ball, defend, and pass it well. She is going to be a very good high school player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
