Team comments from Coach Bill Vincent:
“This group of Schoolers showed great growth throughout the course of the season. This is a group that will continue to strive for improvement and make the needed adjustments to be competitive as they advance on the 16u & 17u division moving forward. I enjoyed having the opportunity to coach this group. It is my hope that I send each athlete back as an improved player for their HS coaches. It was a pleasure getting to know everyone.”
ROSTER
Porter Ihnen Porter Ihnen 6'5" | CG Lennox | 2024 State #318 Nation SD |6-4 G/F| Lennox
A very talented athlete who handles the game with grace & poise. Promoted to 16u to fill for injured athletes and instantly proved he could play at that level as well. Was our 15u leading rebounder and scorer when we had him the first half of the season.
Hudsyn Ruesink Hudsyn Ruesink 6'5" | SF Sioux Valley | 2024 State SD |6-1 F| Sioux Valley
One of the hardest workers you will find. Many times undersized at the post but can work to the small forward when needed. Outstanding rebounder and teammate.
Alec Squires Alec Squires 6'10" | C Sioux Valley | 2024 State #280 Nation SD (2024) |6-9 F| Sioux Valley
Giant inside that can step to 15 ft. Returned from injury after missing the winter season and the first few days and games of club ball. He started to hit his stride in July. A Huge upside as he continues to develop and gain the experience needed after missing an entire year of hoops.
Tyan Buus Tyan Buus 5'10" | CG Pierre | 2024 State SD (2024) |5-9 G| Sturgis
A floor general for Sturgis where he plays for his Dad. A very very good defender will scrap for everything he gets. Can play physically and strong.
Kadyn Fast Kadyn Fast 6'1" | PG De Smet | 2024 State SD (2024) |6-1 G| De Smet
Fast is Fast. Always on the quickest kids on the floor. A hard worker who can defend. He is great at scoring going to the basket. Fast had a great July for us and became one of our leaders.
Jayce Slaba Jayce Slaba 6'0" | CG Hanson | 2024 State SD (2024) |5-6 G| Hanson
A fun player to be around. He can really get hot and light it up from behind the arc. Slaba is a great passer also. He could become a factor on a talented team in Hanson who moves up to Class A this season. Very coachable dude.
Ryan Larson Ryan Larson 6'3" | SG Jamestown | 2024 State ND (2024) |6-3 G| Jamestown
The athletic wing can take it to the rack or hit the three. He plays very hard. Aggressive with the ball at the half-court level. uses his athleticism to defend and rebound.
Garrett Mertens Garrett Mertens 6'3" | SG Milbank | 2024 State SD (2024) |6-2 G| Milbank
He loves to slash to the basket with the ball or off of cuts, can get hot from the perimeter, has a ton of skills on the offensive side.
Cole Edberg Cole Edberg 6'1" | SF Centerville | 2024 State SD (2024) |6-0 G| Centerville
Very coachable talented young player. He thinks of the game like a coach and will do anything for the team. A soft touch can score inside or outside and is very good at finding open teammates.
Isayah Price Isayah Price 6'6" | PF Hanson | 2024 State SD (2024) |6-3 F| Hanson
Big from Hanson that also has the touch to step out and hit from the perimeter. Will have the ability to work himself in a deep and talented Hanson roster. Uses his body well to defend and rebound, has some crafty moves.
Blake Rich Blake Rich 6'5" | SF Ipswich | 2024 State SD (2024) |6-3 F| Aberdeen
Long athletic big that will make an impact at the HS level. He became more comfortable playing our style as the season went on and saved his best tourney for the last weekend. This is a long baller that can adjust shots and will soon be playing his game above the rim
