I'd throw the following guys out there too for R3....

Hunter Pinke, SB
Brody Niewsma, SZ
Parker Stemen, LLM
Connor Entzi, EKM
Ryan Sand, Kidder County
Ryan Schneider, LHMB
Brennan Vance, Ellendale
Bryce Fettig, Napoleon

I would add Brody Nieusma (SP?) from Strasburg to the list for Region 3 also.

Yes, good call. Also missed Entzi from EKM. Both have been added. Definitely a bunch of talent in R3 this year.

Good point. All very good players. Niewsma, Pinke, Zetocha, and Thielges are the top juniors in Region 3 for sure. Entzi is good but don't think he is quite as good as those four. Shneider and Sand are good players too. Forgot to mention all of them.

Respectfully, I absolutely think Connor is the conversation with those 4 terrific players, in terms of all around basketball ability.

I think has turned into a Top Region 3 players forum.

Then turn it around. Who are the top players in the state from your perspective?

Well, As I've said before, the senior trio from Rugby, Carter Kretchman, the one Adams Kid from Oak Grove, and Trayvon McKay(If he's eligible)

If you scroll up...you'll notice nearly all regions have been mentioned.

Ok, so your comments represent a total of 3 schools, and I am the one being narrow in my focus? Bernhardt and Miller are very good players and great compliments to Heidlebaugh, who is a stud. But neither would be top 5 players in Region 3 this year. No argument on Heidlebaugh, Kretchman, Adams or McKay.

If he's eligible? Why would you write that? Of course he's eligible. Thanks for showing your ignorance!

HammerTime - quit with the 'eligible' comments. This is twice now that you have made that distinction on McKay and it is NOT needed here.

Ok. Sorry. I'll stop.

Miller from Rugby is going to have a breakout season. He defends (inside and out), runs the floor and put him on many teams, he would be the star on offense!! Top 10 in state

No question that he is a great player but there are a minimum of 2 post players from Region 3 that I would take over Miller, that have already had breakout seasons. This said, I don't see how he is a top ten player in the state. I fear this will be interpreted as a slight on Miller, when it is not intended as such at all.

If he hasnt had a breakout season he probably meant he has the potential to be a top ten player. Have to do something to actually be put in that classification.

I agree he will have a big year.

What has help Zach out is Brad and Tanner, with the 3 of them, it's hard to shut down all of them. It's hard for to lock down 3 players on the floor at once. What hurt Zac in state was foul trouble. He had a good showing but didn't get going because he was on the pine and then it got mental.
