SD All-Nations Championship Preview: Class B Players to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>VERMILLION, SD--</strong> We do as we promise here at Prep Redzone Dakotas, as we promised our subscribers another All-Nations Championship Preview, this time looking at the Class B Championship between the Lower Brule Sioux versus White River Tigers. Lower Brule has been the powerhouse we expected during preseason to be in the game, but I have to say I love the underdog story that White River has from making the transition to All-Nations just this season and what else I love is turning a basketball town into having more football liking in their community of 533 people located just a half hour south of I-90. You all know the drill by now, we will break down the tape (if available) but also look at the print we could find from both teams across the season. Let's get to it!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Class B Championship</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Who:</strong> #1 Lower Brule (9-0) vs. #3 White River (9-2)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>When/Where</strong>: Friday, November 8th at the Dakota Dome in Vermillion at 7:00 PM Central Time</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Lower Brule Sioux Players to Watch</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Isaiah Felicia, RB 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/Isaiah171642542">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isaiah is one of two running backs that you will see the Sioux utilize this Friday. Isaiah brings the speed to the Sioux's rushing attack and is their touchdown leader thus far this season. I already am a big fan of Isaiah's change of direction as he moves elusively and you can tell is a running back prospect that plays with a sense of urgency with his approachment getting the ball in the reps I have watched. He is also very sudden with his burst and I believe developing his balance with his speed to utilizing his agility will be something I will be watching for at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Combine coming up in December</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1544561' first='Nate' last='Middletent'], RB/DE 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/natemidd21">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those that subscribe, know how fired up I was less than a couple weeks ago when I watched Nate's tape for the first time. The athletic mobility this young man shows off for 6'0 235 pounds has a sound mix of power, but man is he also show off a sudden burst as one of the most sizable tailbacks in the state as well. He also is durable with getting his reps of yards thru contact as it takes a small army to tackle this kid efficiently. I don't like making comps to professional athletes at all, but if I had one, Nate shows off a Jerome Bettis type back for those who lived thru the 1990s and early 2000s. Nate's another one that will be at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Combine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Ethan Thigh, QB 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ethan might be the most interesting piece to this Lower Brule offense. From reading several pieces from 605 Sports over football season, I found out that this kid took last year off from football and has put together a nice season. From what I got from October, he had a 5 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio and even though the Sioux are not a pass heavy offense, I wouldn't be surprised for Ethan to be utilized when least expected for the Sioux passing offensive on Friday in the Dakota Dome. Of course the rushing attack of Lower Brule is the massive strength of their offense, but I could certainly see Ethan making a few splash plays with his arm as an in-game prediction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>White River Tigers Players to Watch</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Teagen Bouman, RB/LB 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of a handful of Tigers that were named All-Conference as a senior is RB/LB Teagen Bouman. The 6'0 200 pounder is tough to find tape on but I have been told is one of biggest keys to this team due his persistence on both sides of the ball and has the frame to use to his advantage with his tackling ability and his workhorse mentality for extra yards. Look for Teagen to be one of the Tigers "it factors" on Friday in Vermillion as this kid's varsity experience is one of the deepest that White River offers as another program in the All-Nations Championship in Class B that has improved vastly from a season ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Riley Bouman, ATH 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"16px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:16px">The family dynamic I have learned over the years is huge in South Dakota high school football, as Riley Bouman (Teagen's cousin) is another huge asset to the White River Tigers. Another all-conference athlete as a senior, Riley shows off a certain swiss-army knife and is one that is positionless as he does the damage on the field just about everywhere. In the light tape I could find, Riley shows the most poise as a wide receiver as he shows off as a versatile route-runner that can get creative when he needs to. Look for this young man to be just about everywhere in the Dakota Dome on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>More Notables Players to Watch on Friday in Class B:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Liam White Hat, OL/DL, White River 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooper Krogman, QB/DB, White River 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eliot LaRoche, WR/DB, Lower Brule 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nicholas Flute, LB/TE, Lower Brule 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
