Wizards Slow Stampede 113-103
Bismarck
-- Yet another big scoring night from Romel Beck propelled the Dakota Wizards to their 12th victory at the Bismarck Civic Center this season. Beck’s 27 points on12-of-16 shooting keyed a 113-103 win over the Idaho Stampede in front of 3,776 fans on Saturday night. Despite being outrebounded 45-34, Dakota was able to pull away in part because of a great team shooting effort. The Wizards shot 57.7% for the game while holding the Stampede to 45.5% from the field. Wizards head coach Rory White has been asking his team for a balanced attack, and Dakota responded with eight different Wizards scoring in the first quarter. Idaho, still trying to work out their rotation after having three players receive NBA call-ups, kept the game close in the first, even after shooting only 40% from the field in the frame. The period came to a close with Dakota leading 26-25.  FULL STORY

Peacocks Pound Marauders on Boards
Bismarck -Four Marauders reached double digits in points but the scoring balance wasn't enough to overcome a tremendous rebounding disparity as Upper Iowa University defeated the University of Mary 71-65 in Northern Sun men's basketball action. The Peacocks held a 37-16 rebounding advantage over the Marauders, including a 12-4 margin on offensive rebounds. U-Mary connected on 11 treys in the game and committed just ten turnovers but it wasn't enough to counterbalance the rebounding or the disparity in bench scoring. The Upper Iowa reserves scored 29 points while U-Mary received no scoring from its bench. The Marauders jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the game and led much of the first half before the Peacocks rallied to tale a 32-29 lead at intermission. Upper Iowa would eventually build its lead to 13 points before U-Mary made a late challenge.  FULL STORY

West River Action
with Jeff Baranick

Beulah -- Prep hoops took center stage this past week on the North Dakota sports calendar, as many teams played as many as three games in the first full week of February. The marquee game was a girls’ showdown in Beach between the top-ranked & undefeated Buccaneers and the 3rd-rated Hazen Bison. In a tightly-contested matchup in which neither team took control through the first three quarters, the Bucs finally pulled away in the final stanza to claim a 10-point victory, 53-43. The game was tied at 14 at the first quarter-break, Hazen held a tenuous one-point advantage at the intermission, and Beach seized a one-point lead heading into the final frame.  Pacing Beach to its 17th win of the season was Jr stalwart Brittany Dietz who tallied 19 points while Abby Weinreis netted 17. Leading the Bison was Sr P Stef Bohrer who garnered 14 points. The Bison dropped to 16-2 overall and are now finished with regular-season games. Hazen has secured for itself a #1 seed in next weekend’s District 14 tournament and will await the victor of a tourney 1st-round matchup between the Beulah Miners and the Hebron-Glen Ullin Bearcats which occurs this upcoming Friday evening at Dickinson Trinity’s Knights of Columbus Activities’ Center. Hazen’s first game is slated for 6:00 pm MST on Saturday. Meanwhile, Beach also carries a top seed into its District 13 tournament which will be played in Bowman. The Bucs’ circumstances mirror those of Hazen’s, as Beach will also play its first tournament contest on Saturday. Earlier this past week, the Buccaneers drubbed Scranton 76-33, Richardton-Taylor 86-29, and 6th-ranked Dickinson Trinity 51-32, with Dietz amassing 65 points total in that series of blowouts.  Meanwhile, Hazen breezed to a pair of easy home wins—76-18 over Wilton and 71-39 at Washburn’s expense. Also in girls’ play, Beulah took to the court on three successive days in non-district, non-regional games. The Miners fell to Watford City on Thursday 41-34, eased past Des Lacs-Burlington on Friday 55-37, and lost to Mohall-Lansford-Sherwood on Saturday 53-49. Now 8-10 overall, Beulah concludes  regular-season action this Tuesday with a game at Grant County before matching up with H-GU Friday evening in District 14 tournament play as noted above. Elsewhere in girls’ games this past weekend, Killdeer routed New England 57-27 and pummeled Trenton 95-25, Trinity trounced New England 55-22  (with Ashley Sickler erupting for 33 points) and Watford City 62-42, Washburn defeated Grant County 62-53, and Hebron-Glen Ullin fell to Flasher 42-34. In boys’ roundball action, both Beulah & Hazen were in action thrice over this past week. The Miners stumbled to Wilton 71-69, before rebounding with wins over Killdeer 71-62 and Mott-Regent 86-49. In the 37-point win over the Wildfire, Beulah hit 8 of 9 treys in the first quarter alone to sprint to a 36-13 lead after one period. The Miners evened their record at 7-7 (five of the setbacks by a combined total of 17 points), and now entertain 5th-ranked Dickinson Trinity on Tuesday to determine District 14’s top seed for post-season tournament play.  Meanwhile, Hazen claimed two wins over the week and suffered one loss. The Bison downed Underwood 69-60 and scorched Richardton-Taylor 90-29, before stumbling to Shiloh Christian 67-53. Hazen will host Glen Ullin-Hebron on Tuesday evening. Center-Stanton also had a hectic week of its own on the hardwood, trouncing GU-H 64-44 before losing to Standing Rock in District 9 play 58-52 and to Turtle Lake-Mercer 63-58. On the mat, Beulah-Hazen lost a pair of duals at last week’s Hettinger Triangular. The Miners fell to St. Mary’s 48-30 and to Hettinger 42-33, with Hunter Eslinger, Jordon Mann, & Isaiah Krebs each winning two matches for B-H. The Miners are next in action this Saturday when they host the Region 4 tournament at Beulah High School. On the ice, Hazen-Beulah tied Minot in West Region play 3-3, before dropping a 6-1 regional decision to Mandan Saturday evening. Finally, several area prepsters inked letters-of-intent on National Signing Day this past week to continue their gridiron careers at the collegiate level. Baylee Carr and Brent Sorensen of Hazen committed to UND and Minot State, respectively, while Grant Singer of Central McLean, Jerad Wolf of New Salem-GU, and Kasey Schmidt & Keanon Serna of Beulah all signed on to play for the U-Mary Marauders.
