Expert Analysis
Mike Benson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
As mentioned in previous articles, Christensen is someone that Fargo North is going to rely upon early this season. The 2029 guard played a handful of varsity minutes this last season as an 8th grader and will be a key player the next four years. North graduates a ton of guards which will allow Claire to slide nicely into the starting lineup. She plays extremely hard and is a coachable athlete. She has good strength and athleticism and thrives driving downhill to the basket.

The Fargo North Spartans will be in a little bit of a rebuilding mode this coming season. Look for Claire to be a big time participant in that process and someone who is going to have an outstanding high school career. She gained some valuable varsity experience last year as only an 8th grader. This will set herself up nicely for a chance to be a starting guard as a freshman. She played up one year on the 15U team this summer and was often her team’s best player.

Claire is super athletic and shifty. She is also a great competitor. She showed up and showed out against older girls and held her own. She was good at getting downhill and finishing at the rim. She had many opposite hand finishes in traffic. She stepped out and knocked down the three. She has potential to be a great high school player for the Spartans.

Claire played awesome on Friday night. She knocked down 3 three pointers and also had a great floater to her strong hand. She competed defensively all night and was great with her on-ball defense. Opponents could not get around her. The most impressive part is she did it against girls who were all a year older than her.

She moves well out on the floor and has good quickness to her game. Claire is a good decision maker with the ball and plays her current role well. She is going to be relied upon heavily in the coming years as Fargo North has a big senior class this season.
