<p class="has-medium-font-size" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:100"><em>While the spotlight is on football this fall, hoops season is never out of sight for PHD. The Dakotas are stacked with athletes who excel year-round, and plenty of the top basketball names are also putting on a show under the Friday night lights. Their toughness, athleticism, and playmaking carry over no matter the sport.</em></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Hawks are 4-1 on the season and Green is having a phenomenal year. Aiden has 532 receiving yards, 34 catches, and 7 TD's. On defense, he locks up receivers and has earned himself the nickname “Green Island.” In hoops, Aiden is an All-Conference player, a top-notch athlete, and the Hawks will be one of the best in the state.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Austin is one of the top QB's in all of the Dakotas. This past Friday, Alec led the Tornadoes in a blowout win over Irene-Wakonda 55-0. The stud signal caller threw three TD's and passed for 93 yards. Nobody will want to play Centerville in the playoffs; they can play with anyone in 9A. In hoops, Austin is a tough matchup due to his athleticism and ability to score from inside and out. Expect a big senior season from Alec.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Livingston is a 2-way standout for the 4-1 Hawks. Horace is one of the best in AAA and Brett is a key part of that success. At WR, Brett has 13 catches for 206 yards and 3 TD's. On defense, Livingston has 16 tackles. In hoops, Brett is one of the best rebounders in AA, a super athlete, and an efficient scorer inside the arc.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bruce is the leading WR for the 5-0 and #3 ranked Knights. Brooklan 14 receptions for 260 yards, and 3 TD's. His longest catch went for 61 yards. On defense, Bruce has 9 tackles and 1 fumble recovery. In hoops, Brooklan is an All-EDC baller, a bucket getter, and an offensive weapon loaded with firepower. He will put up splashy numbers this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The play-caller for the Chargers is off to a rockstar start. SFC is 5-0 and ranked #1 in 11A. This past Friday, Cooper completed 9 passes for 155 yards and 2 TD's. He also ran for nearly 40 yards. In hoops, Strande is also a stud. I am not sure what role he will play this winter as SFC is absolutely loaded with talent. Either way, Cooper is a skilled, smart, athletic, and all-around playmaker.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Perkerewicz is the leading WR for the 5-0 and #1 ranked Deacons. Jacob has a wild 40 receptions for 404, and 3 TD's. Perkerewicz is well on his way to being an All-State player. Jacob is also a dude on defense with 24 tackles, 1 INT, 1 fumble recovery, and a defensive TD. In hoops, Jacob stands out with his athleticism; he has a good chance to start this winter. Perkerewicz rebounds, defends, and can hit the 3-ball. He should come into the bball season full of confidence.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Woods came back from injury in week 3 and he has had an immediate impact on the Warriors. Jhace has three games under his belt this season and has scored a TD in each. He draws a ton of attention from the defense and opens up space for other areas of the offense. Against #1 Lincoln this past week, Washington nearly pulled the upset, but they lost 33-31. Jhace had 5 receptions for 79 yards and a TD. His touchdown was a super athletic 1-handed highlight-reel grab. In hoops, Jhace will make noise with blocked shots and jaw-dropping slam dunks. He has a freakish vertical and will put many opponents on posters this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Zabel is a playmaker on offense for the 5-0 and #1 ranked Deacons. Kai has 18 carries for 214 yards (11.9 YPC). He also has 16 receptions for 133 yards, and 1 TD. In hoops, Zabel is a lead guard for the Grovers. He is a standout athlete on the hardwood. Expect him to take the next step and for Oak Grove to be an improved hoop squad.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Titans took down Mitchell on Friday night 26-20 and Grant scored the game-winning TD in overtime! Mitch ran for 90 yards, 2 TD's, he also threw for 86 yards. Grant and the Titans are a scary squad. In hoops, Mitch has loads and loads of potential with athleticism and dynamic playmaking ability. He will be high on PHD's watchlist this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Wittler and the Chargers are a perfect 5-0 and ranked #1 in 9B. On Friday night, Sully Buttes came away with a big win (30-22) over a tough Faulkton Area team. The star QB was 15-23 for 169 yards and threw two TD's. Wesley also rushed for 52 yards and a TD. In hoops, Wittler is a stats stuffer and a super-skilled baller who can score from every level. He is a natural athlete who makes the game looks easy.</p>
