Class B Region 6 Top Returning Forwards and Posts for Next Year

In the last article, we saw some of the best guards Region 6 has to offer with one of the most versatile scorers on that list in Ellie Bratten. Now we’ll talk about some of the tallest, fiercest, forwards and post players the region has to offer for next year. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="242902" first="Allison" last="Undlin"] – (6’4/C 2023) – Mohall-Lansford-Sherwood - </strong>A 6’4 big body that is hard to miss. Allison is a true back-to-the-basket post player that if you allow will punish you all night in the paint. She’s long, aggressive, and strong. She’s added a nice baby hook off the glass shot to her arsenal with some solid footwork for up and under finishes... Not that she really needs it when she can shoot over the top of most defenders. Undlin is a rim protector that fits in a 2-3 zone smoothly. She has good court awareness and from what I’ve seen communicates well with her team. Allison has D2 written all over her with that size and potential. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="100458" first="Elise" last="Altringer"] - (5’11/SF/2023) - Our Redeemer’s - </strong>Elise is a versatile offensive threat that can stretch the floor in many ways. She’s a solid 3-point shooter and has a quick first step on the drive. To compliment her offensive gifts Elise is a strong defender that can guard the 2-4. She has quick hands and a strong sense of direction when tracking the ball and her man. Altringer isn’t going to be the flashiest player on this list, but possibly the most consistent one. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="257125" first="Aubrey" last="Griedl"] - (6’2/C/2023) - Our Redeemer’s - </strong>Aubrey is a 6’2 brute that is surprisingly athletic. A strong post player when playing back to the basket and a put-back machine. If she touches the ball it’s hers. There’s no outmuscling Aubrey in the paint. She’s a true rim protector that occasionally slips into foul trouble from how hard she plays. Griedle is a gifted athlete with size and strength. With some added polishing around the rim could make for one solid post player at the next level. <strong><span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="211407" first="Kendyl" last="Hager"]</span></span></strong> <strong> – (5’8/SF/2023) –</strong> <strong>Rugby -</strong>Hager has untapped potential in my opinion. A forward that can play with the guards, but is aggressive and mobile enough to stick with posts. She showed the best of both worlds being able to shoot from the outside and finish over the trees this past season. Not necessarily a go-to player, but a hidden gem nonetheless. <strong> </strong><span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="380222" first="Kyra" last="Beckman"]</span></span> <strong>– (5’11 F/C 2025) – Bottineau –  </strong>Kyra is a long, athletic forward that plays 4-5 right now and hopefully develops more of a feel for the ball to play at a wing spot. She’s quick, strong, and has good footwork already. Beckman can defend 3-5 currently and often plays on the opponent’s best forward or post player. With the level of competition she’ll see from this list alone Beckman is in good standings to grow into a top premier forward in Region 6 for the coming years.
