Mandan | 2024

5’6” G – Mandan, ND- (ND Attack 16U)
There aren’t enough good things to say about Jayden and her work ethic, without a doubt she has that “Mamba Mentality”. She is a dedicated hard-working athlete that leaves everything on the court day in and day out. Unfortunately, she was out her Soph Season due to a knee injury, but she still was a huge leader for Mandan, studying film and helping her team every way possible. Even injured she continuously worked on her shooting, dribbling and footwork every day and never let it slow her down. She’s a tough defender who runs the full length of the court with speed and puts constant pressure on the ball. She plays “in your face” defense and uses her speed well. Offensively she is a major shooting threat who can shoot from anywhere on the court with accuracy, and a quick release. I expect this year to be her breakout year, really showing ND her talent, and she will be a huge asset to the Mandan High School this next year.

Horace | 2025
State
ND
6′ PF- Horace, ND- (ND Pro/MN Starks Elite)
Rated the #3 player in the Class of 2025, she is an all-around athlete that is fun to watch and aggressive around the rim. She has a good size frame, and she knows how to use her strength to finish at the rim and pull-down rebounds. She possesses a good interior game, isn’t afraid to go for the ball and put-up points off the glass. She will continue to get better and better. It will be fun to watch her progression next year for the Horace Hawks in their 1st Varsity Season, I think we can all agree she will be a key player for them next season.

6′ F- Dickinson, ND- (Missouri River Elite)
Good sized length and runs the court very well. She has a really nice jump shot that is accurate and can pull the trigger quick. She’s always moving and looking to score in the paint. Defensively she moves very well for her size and is challenges the ball and players well. She is a nice interior player to have on the MRE squad she will for sure be pulling down rebounds and protect the paint.

5’2 PG – Westhope, ND- (ND Attack 17U)
Braaten is an explosive guard who handles the ball incredibly well. Offensively she is very exciting to watch, she has proven she hit the long 3’s and will drive in traffic to finish the bucket. She’s a proven scorer as she already broke her schools scoring record, this stat will grow quite a big next year as well. She moves well up and down the court with a ton of speed and uses her quick hands to strip the ball from the defender with ease. All-around, she is a baller keep an eye on her!

Grand Forks Red River | 2024
State
ND
5’6” G – Grand Forks Red River (Impact Basketball)
A defensive specialist who averaged 5.5 Steals a game and 21ppg during her soph season, her game has so many good qualities it’s hard to hit on them all. One thing for sure about her is her speed, she’s outright fast and sprints up and down the court all game. She is a solid defender that does not back off the offense looking to strip the ball and finish on a fast break. Her ball handling and ability to drive the lane is excellent. She’s only going to get better and without a doubt she is a D1 prospect.
