<!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Mandan</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mandan graduates five Seniors, four of which were starters for their team last year. The good news is is that they bring back one of the top 2025 prospects in the region in [player_tooltip player_id='245588' first='McKenna' last='Johnson']. The team will be focused on McKenna's skill-set, but there are some other key players that will look to make an impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='245588' first='McKenna' last='Johnson']'s recruitment is starting to heat up after playing with North Tartan this offseason. She could put up some scary statistical numbers as the go-to player for Mandan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/northtartan2025/status/1551669322937942018?s=21u0026t=pjrExchoxiV773_EhBLcIA","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/northtartan2025/status/1551669322937942018?s=21u0026t=pjrExchoxiV773_EhBLcIA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='219710' first='Jayden' last='Wiest'] will be one of those expected to take on an important role. She's back and healthy after an injury sidelined her last season. She could be comeback player of the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/jaydenbwiest/status/1371809944413081600?s=21u0026t=EXMlMlBchgypyH7SU9AP9g","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/jaydenbwiest/status/1371809944413081600?s=21u0026t=EXMlMlBchgypyH7SU9AP9g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='408229' first='Mya' last='Sheldon'] looks to have a big role in her final season. 3.9 ppg. last season and you can expect that number to climb. An underrated guard and she's going to show to be a productive player.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379112' first='Hailey' last='Markel'] will be another key piece and will be counted on as a shooter and scorer. Scored 7.3 ppg. and led the team with 21 made threes. Goes hard at the rim as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='219711' first='Anna' last='Huettl'] - Anna is a quick guard that has a good handle on the ball. A quick and instinctive defensive player that can make plays on that end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anna Lyles is a prospect I still need to see, but she's also expected to have a role as a Freshman. More on her as the season starts and progresses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='409049' first='Harper' last='Harris'] is a prospect to watch. A good overall athlete with solid size. 3.2 ppg. as a Freshman. Moves well in all directions and makes plays on D. She will pressure the ball-handler and make them uncomfortable.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='478132' first='Emma' last='Bogner'] is a hard-working high-effort post with a strong build. She'll be expected to step in and have a role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Watford City</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watford City graduates 18.0 ppg. in Spacher, so others will need to step up and fill that large scoring void. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='219713' first='Jessica' last='Mogen'] will be a Junior now and she's coming off a productive Sophomore campaign at 13.9 ppg. She also led the team in rebounding at an impressive 7.6 rpg. A non-flashy guard that simply produces and is poised for another great season as the leader. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Soon-to-be Senior [player_tooltip player_id='195431' first='Gracen' last='Breitbach'] will be counted on to improve her scoring output from 6.1 ppg. last season. She led the team in three-point makes last year, and for Watford City to win games, she will need shoot the ball well. Has college offers from Bethany Lutheran College and NJCAA D1 Central Wyoming College.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379966' first='Bailey' last='Mattson'] is an up-and-coming prospect that started as an eighth-grader for Watford City. She put in 5.0 ppg. Possesses solid size and frame for a guard/wing.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 guard/forward [player_tooltip player_id='478367' first='Maycee' last='Garmann'] is a prospect to watch to see how much she has developed. She's an interesting prospect as a long 5-9 and has some skills with the ball. She can handle the ball in transition and runs well with a long stride. She was just added to the database and will be ranked.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
