top class B athletes

since they started one for class A... we might as well start one for class B

Who are the Best athletes in class B around the state

by **rep** » Mon May 01, 2006 5:48 pm

i'll suggest mark bakkum from steele-dawson

great basketball player, pretty solid starting pitcher and a good contact/power hitter for baseball...not sure what other position(s) he plays for football, but i know he kicked a game-winning field goal in one of their games this season.

i'm gonna go with landon smith from trinity. all-state football, all-state basketball, and has qualified in 4 events for the state track meet (shot put, discus, 400 relay. and 800 relay). that's an impressive feat.

by **ndfan** » Mon May 01, 2006 6:01 pm

I'm gonna have to say Matt Anderson from Cavalier all state football and class A player of the year (IMO he was the best football player in the state). Basketball he averaged like 17 ppg and 11 rbpg, and track had his knee scoped after the basketball season and think he might start running again soon.

by **bballer2** » Mon May 01, 2006 6:04 pm

yea he is an absolute stud... i agree with that pick...

by **boysbballfan** » Mon May 01, 2006 7:15 pm

I would have to say Landon Smith from Trinty handsdown for overall.

by **NATURAL TALENT** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:28 pm

Anderson was a great athlete, cant disagree with that pick. I'll throw R.J Darling in from Leeds/Minnewaukan, hes a great quarterback on the football field, and a big threat on the basketball court also.

Good choices all. I'll throw in a couple more: Zach Larson Oak Grove: 1st team all-state football two years at two different positions, quarterback & cornerback; 1st team all state basketball. Dustin Erbes Richland: Two time all-state football, all-state basketball, multiple state qualifier in track.

Im not from north dakota, but i have played AAU teams with most of these kids. I was wondering if Jaden Voth plays any other sports?

by **catz_15** » Tue May 02, 2006 5:45 pm

didnt voth play football for New England? Im not 100% sure on that though... Matt Anderson is a stud, Landon Smith is a stud, those two just jump out at you haha... you cant forget some of the small town athletes either though.... Tyson Bodvig 2x 1st Team All-State, Andy Wirt 2x 1st Team All-State, Jon Scherbenski 1st Team All-State (sp) just to name a few area standouts....

by **bballer2** » Tue May 02, 2006 6:00 pm

No i played ball with voth but his only sport he played was basketball

by **boysbballfan** » Tue May 02, 2006 6:12 pm

Another kid is Derek Pauley from bowman he was all state football and I believe he made all state basketball but not positive

He's right up their, but to say best overall hands down I don't think so.

by **RedWings7** » Tue May 02, 2006 6:38 pm

how about calvin kraft...8th at state XC, all-state bball twice...top 5 in 3200 and 1600 last year at state track

derek benter, he is an awesome wide reciever for divide county and took them to the state title game and is going to und to play basketball next year

by **Photo-man-Bob** » Wed May 03, 2006 8:41 am

I agree on Derek Benter. 6-8 kids with soft hands aren't exactly a dime a dozen in N.D.

by **bball1niner** » Wed May 31, 2006 7:45 pm

interesting fact.....matt anderson who i think is the best athlete and trinity's landon smith are rooming together and playing football together at NDSU....and that is 100% true

by **ndfan** » Wed May 31, 2006 7:58 pm

haha thanks for that fact. I think Weston Dressler and Brady Trenbeath roomed together at UND they both were the two best players in their division if not state in football.

bakkum id say

by **jvedaa** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 2:20 pm

i wuld have to go with jarek hanson he is up there for only being a junior

by **kvrnm** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:42 am

im just gonna put this one out there cus this guy is vastly underrated. mcale marstuen gets no respect and as far as im concerned might just be the best athlete in williston. he put up 18pts 8boards and 7 assists for the crusaders this year, along with being the quarterback for the inaugral football season and did one heck of a job. he also went 5-0 as a pitcher for a weak trinity baseball team with and era under 1, and he hit over .500 with 3 homers. in my opinion he was the best athlete in region 8

by **baseball** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:45 am

how old is this marstuen kid?

by **kvrnm** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:52 am

and i played on his baseball team.....and we were defenitly weak. He played almost every position throughout the year. He recorded 20 of the 21 outs during one of the games his junior year jus between strikeouts, picks, and one line drive he caught that he doubled a guy up at second. He also through a perfect game to open his senior year against the Williston high JV and not only was it a perfect game, but he struckout all but ONE batter who flew out to the third basemen. The game only went five innings due to ten run rule though.

One player to keep your eyes and ears open for is Tanner Carpenter from North Border. He has been playing varsity baseball since 7th grade (starting short-stop first two years, now the teams best pitcher), varsity football started playing in 8th grade(field goals) and was the starting quarterback until he broke his collarbone this year against harvey. (a game that was 7-6 in the fourth quarter when he went down), varsity basketball, all-conference pick as a sophomore and played alot as a freshmen. His dad is a great coach in football and baseball as well.

by **cubsfan** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 2:44 pm

best athlete in the state without this year has to be luke lorenz. he is a stud in football, a warrior in basketball, and is the best javelin thrower in region 1
