These six girls proved they deserved to move up in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1266590"],"_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-68c474127fed8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Naastad is going to find herself in the varsity rotation this season due to her excellent defensive play. She is an athletic 5'9 and can defend multiple positions. She moves well laterally and is difficult to get by. She is a capable offensive player as well and can generate offensive opportunities from all of the deflections and steals she creates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1266592"],"_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-68c474127ff5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Central Cass has really good guard play and Jaci is amongst those talented guards. She is a really effective ball handler and can get her team out of trouble when they are being pressed in the full-court. She is really good at getting her team into their offensive sets and can initiate plays on either side of the court. She has a smooth looking jump shot and is going to have a nice high school career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1124625"],"_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-68c4741280014"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wahpeton lost a key player that transferred across the river to Breckenridge, creating a big opportunity for Dohman to play a ton of minutes this season. She is a very long and athletic 5'11 and can be a terrific defender. She keeps improving her skills and shooting and will be a force on both sides of the floor. She will be able to get to the basket with her long strides and use her length to score over bigger defenders. Julia is an interesting prospect and one who will have the opportunity to play college basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1060622"],"_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-68c474128006a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Woods name is synonymous for success down in Wahpeton. Claire is a top returner and will be in contention for an All-Region selection this season. She impresses me with her mobility. You wouldn't think someone as strong as Claire would be as light on her feet as she is. She can thrive from down low or at the high post, areas her older sister dominated. I anticipate Claire having the ball in her hands a ton this season and being one of Wahpeton's top two scorers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["969855"],"_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-68c47412800c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bugbee was on the D2 offer train this summer, picking up two more offers from Minot State and Northern State. Having 3 Division 2 offers as a 2028 is impressive and sometimes indicates potential Division 1 offers coming her way. She has a great frame for the college game and will really have an opportunity to shine this season. She is [program_tooltip program_id='712656' first='Mandan' last='']'s best returner and I predict she will find herself on the All-WDA team this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["672234"],"_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-68c8171611faf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Selzler is a player I want to watch a lot more this season and am eager to see the improvements she has made. She has the tools to be a very good high school player and guard. She will begin to get some college looks as she progresses throughout high school. She plays with savvy and poise on the floor and is a steady ball-handler. She knows how to dribble out of trouble and avoid turnovers against the full-court press. I like her athletic ability and how she is able to create scoring opportunities for herself off of the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
