Amanda Roller (Oak Grove) is a 5' 4" sophomore that's having a pretty solid year already: 17.7 ppg, 2.7 spg, 2.4 apg & 3.5 rpg - 53 3's made through yesterday as well.

Enderlin also has some good young talent in the Tingley sisters (8th & So.) and Christensen (Fr.).

Thompson's varsity is almost all freshman and sophomores. ( 0 seniors, 1 junior and 1 eighth grader)
A number of talented players to keep an eye on over the next few years.

Grafton is also being led by some sophomores and an eighth grader

Kindred has a 7th grader that is playing major varsity minutes and has led the team in scoring in a handful of games, she has potential to be Ms. Basketball finalist in a few years. There are two more 7th graders playing a lot of junior varsity minutes. Considering the size of Kindred, playing that many junior high players up means they must be pretty talented.

Helps to be a young player on a team like Kindred. Their seniors usually have the game in hand and the competition tired of the track meet by halftime. The Enderlin 8th grader plays like a junior. Doesn't get rattled.

The top 3 young players in Region 8 are New Town sophomore Marveen Ross, Trenton freshman Kaity Hove and Watford City 8th grader Emma Mogen. All three of these are extremely talented on both ends of the floor and have bright futures. Of course, Watford City will be moving up to Class A before Mogen finishes high school.

There is a decent chance you could say the same thing about Park River's young players if they weren't stuck behind this year's seniors.

That could be true. PR Area won a B squad tourney and beat PR C team for the championship.

Abbie Kludt - sophomore from Hettinger-Scranton. Posted her 2nd triple double of the season versus Beach last Thursday while playing only 3 quarters. 17 pts, 14 assists, and 11 rebounds.

On the season, Abbie is averaging 11.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game. Her all around game makes her one of the state's best, not just for young players.

It's both good and bad to be a young player on senior stacked teams like PR and Kindred. Bad because the seniors get the bulk of the meaningful playing time and good because of the big point spreads by halftime to mid 3rd resulting in playing time for the young kids. Usually the other team is gassed by then leading to the bench and youngsters being able to compete and show some of their talents.

Extremely impressed with Kindred's 7th grader in the Region 1 tournament!! Very smart player, calm--doesn't get rattled by the moment; she can flat out play!

She comes off the bench, but may be one of Kindred's best 3 overall players. She was very harassing on the full court press against Richland with her length and athleticism. She was the leading scorer along with Reinke (Region 1 Senior Athlete of the Year) last night with 15 points. I noticed when Tri State was pressing at the end of the game, Piatz trusted her to inbounds the ball as well. She will be a good one. Abby Duchscherer is her name. Kindred also has 2 other seventh graders that played some JV this year. So when Piatz hangs it up at the end of the year, he's not leaving the cupboard bare. They may struggle some next year, but will still be top 3 in the region I would guess.

Watford City has Emma Mogen, an 8th grader. I believe she started every game and was All-District and All-Region tournament team. Another 8th grader, Ashley Holen is in the rotation at guard. A tribute to the WC program to return to state after graduating 6 seniors!

Familiarity with Region 2, I observe Park River b squad could compete with Region 2 middle of pack very well. I would imagine that is do to hard work during offseason and the fact that they practice with the hard working senior State Bound (2 years running) A squad every day. Cassie Sieben, an 8th grader from Grafton has ice in veins, so she will possess calm leadership to the fast paced Spoilers. Should be a great Region to come for at least the next 3 years..

The Sieben you are thinking of is Carlee, Cassie is her sister(who is already playing JV at the same age so she is very good as well). You are completely right though, Grafton is very young all around with only one senior and two juniors. Have not seen Park River's JV except for the last couple minutes of last night's game. Also Thompson did not have any seniors on this year's team plus their main guard trio consists of two freshman and one eighth-grader. I think these three teams will be rivaling each other for at least the next 3 years.

DVE will be as good as any of these teams the next few years also.

I agree they will be very good next year again, but after that they will have some rebuilding to do

I think they'll lack depth next season IMO. After 17-18 what do you see?

I've been told the DVE co-op will be dissolved before the next few years.

Region 8 did have some extremely talented young kids this year. Sophomores Marveen Ross & Tyleigh Brady from New Town are as talented kids offensively as you could want to see in ND GBB. Extremely skilled offensive players. 8th grader Emma Mogen is a real solid player too for WC. Plays both ends well. Freshman Kaity Hove from Trenton is probably right up there with the best guards in gbb in nd. Pretty sure people will start learning that kids name soon. Seen her play 3 times this year--energizer bunny. Does just about everything a kid possibly can in a game. Saw her season stats for this past year the other day. Wow. Off the charts. Some serious young talent here. Definitely should be some all staters coming out of this region for years to come.
