Watford city was an under-estimated team heading into the season, with a preseason poll of finishing fourth in Region 4. They were able to surprise a bunch of people and ended up making the state tournament thanks to the play of some talented players, including very consistent play from Mattson. She had an incredible career and set the tone for a young core that will return next season. The 5’8 guard played hard on both sides of the ball and oftentimes was tasked with defending the opponent’s best player. Her season stat line is really impressive, finishing the year with averages of 13.1 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block per game.

Bailey is a good sized off-guard for the Watford City Wolves. She had a good block as a secondary defender in the second half, using her timing well. She is able to drive hard to the basket and compete down low with taller girls. She also knocked down a key three pointer to start the 4th quarter and give the Wolves a chance at a comeback. Bailey is only a Junior and will continue to improve this year and will be key to Watford winning games going forward.
