<p class="text-gray-700">Katie is one of the most underrated players in the draft and will be making a big leap in the rankings come winter. She has division 1 athleticism which should make every non-division 1 program in the region immediately want to reach out to her. She is already a good player but has potential to be even better with continued work on her offensive game. She is one of the best jumpers in the state and incredibly fast up the court. I can't stress enough how impressive of an athlete Katie is. She earned herself an All-Region selection last season and is hoping to help the Skyhawks to a great season with everything she brings to the court. College coaches: look Katie up now!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Zoe is a beast on the court and someone I would certainly take a hard look at as a prospect. I think she would be exceptional at the NAIA, JUCO, or Division 3 level. Her ceiling would be as a Division 2 prospect. She is certainly tall enough, athletic enough, and strong enough to play in the Northern Sun. She runs super well and is great at ducking-in across the lane for excellent position by the basket. She has great hands and catches passes in heavy traffic. She is able to also play out of the high post and get on-target passes in the 'hi-lo' game. Her defense and rebounding is top-level. Teams should give Zoe a call right now.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Haylie is one of Fargo North's best and most complete players. She is a college level athlete and is committed to run track at North Dakota State University. She is a super athlete with a quick burst of speed and long strides up the court. She brings the ball up as a secondary ball-handler and can help initiate the offense. She finds open teammates on her drives and is really good at ripping the ball baseline and going to the hoop. She is a savyy cutter and recognizes when to do a 'second-cut' on a teammate's drive. Finally, Haylie is a hustler. She isn't afraid to lay it all out and dive for a loose ball.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lauren used to come to my basketball camps as a youth player and it wasn't hard to see that she would become a great high school basketball player. She moves like a college athlete and I appreciate her ability to dominate multiple sports at the high school level. Bell is a returning All-Region selection that is hungry to get to the state tournament this season after narrowly missing the tournament in 2026. The Aggies return a lot of quality players and Lauren is ready to be their leader. She plays the game the right way and doesn't make many mistakes. She defends, rebounds, and is a scoring machine. Her jumping and catching ability dominate the Class B level as she is able to soar above opponents and catch passes (one handed if needed) and finish at the rim. Lauren is a prospect with a high ceiling due to her elite athleticism. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Onika is a multi-year All-Region selection for the LLM Loboes. She helped lead the Loboes to their first state championship in school history in 2026. They play an uptempo pace centered around an aggressive full-court press defense. Lesko plays the middle of their trapping zone, showcasing her ability to read possessions and jump passing lanes for easy steals. She is a forward with some guard capabilities. She is able to handle the ball and initiate offense if needed and she has good vision to find open teammates for looks on the perimiter. Onika is strong enough to bully people by the basket but skilled enough to stretch it out from three. She would be a good fit at the NAIA, JUCO, or Division 3 level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Stollenwerk is a workhorse for the Spartans. I appreciate her fundamentally sound game. She comes into the game and is a lock-down defender. She moves her feet well laterally, keeps her long arms up on the perimeter, and cuts off drives to the basket. She holds good position in the post against other post players and she contests without fouling. Ella is able to take defenders off of the bounce from the perimeter and use her length to get to the rim. She is effective at sealing up the lane on teammate's baseline drives to maintain space and put herself in a good place for a scoring opportunity. Ella is a quality post ready for a nice senior season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hannah is someone who has a lot of potential as a recruit because of her height and athletic ability. She is a lengthy 5'9 with good footspeed and jumping ability. She plays the game naturally and finds gaps against opposing defenses. She slides and cuts to maintain and create space for her teammates. I watched a game where Beuchler was face-guarded and denied the ball. This is a tremendous compliment from an opponent and showcases what Hannah is capable of on the offensive end. She is an aggressive driver to the basket but can also step out and knock down the three. Look for another impressive season from the Nedrose star.</p>
