Yon was in the lineup for Bismarck last night. Couple of SOG, no points, no PIM, even.

Gotchya. Wasn't trying to be snarky, BTW, though it may have come across that way!

If you've ever seen him play, he wouldn't be underrated. UND made a fantastic addition when Olson committed. He will be a difference maker next season, despite the fact that we only lose a couple of guys up front.

As I understand the USHL rules, being he is undrafted/not on any team's protected/affiliate list he is unable to be picked up by any USHL teams for the remainder of the season. He will most assuredly be drafted in the USHL Phase II Draft this May though. Yon is, however, on the Protected list of the NAHL's Bismarck Bobcats (as is his Roseau HS teammate Alex Strand), so he could still see action in juniors this year. ND high school standouts Jared Spooner (Bismarck) and Harrison Aide (Bottineau) have already seen some ice time with Bismarck since the ND HS season concluded.

Solid defensive defenseman, modest offensive game. Was just named the SJHL's Sherwood Division Best Defenseman for 2013-14 as well as Flin Flon's Team MVP and Best Defenseman.

How far has Thompson come this season? His game has improved by leaps and bounds throughout the season. Gotta remember too, he would have been a senior for Devils Lake High this season.

For the time being, WF's new Sheyenne High School will not have hockey.

Bismarck is the better team. Even if they played a best of five or a best of seven, BHS would win. Simply put, they're a deeper, better team.

Deepest team in the state will win tonight. State title finally heads west.

Imagine how great the Minot/Red River matchup would have been if Morelli & Schoenborn and Benson & Christian were all still playing high school.

Tickets for both nights have been sold.

Friday tickets have been sold. Saturday's are still available.

My picks... Quarters: BHS over South/Shanley Century over WF Central over Mandan RR over Minot Semis: BHS over Century RR over Central Finals: BHS over RR

Bollant similar RB to Jake Miller? UND tweet was deleted but he still has "#UND" in his profile description. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/2865195/highlights/98094397

Agree with your assessment of the previous regime's lack of an offer. The kid can play.

He's got a ways to go to make a post-high school run at a hockey career. He is a sore thumb stand-out as a football player, definite D1 material in my (VERY amateur) opinion. Hockey, he doesn't stand out much at all outside of a burst of speed every now and again. Unless he really develops between now and next season, I'd say his hockey options beyond Fargo South might be pretty limited.

*Chris Wilkie (We all knew what you meant) Danys Chartrand 0 pts vs. Weyburn

Yes, still enrolled, still on the team at last check.

Might Patrick Sharp be that game-breaking, difference making back?

Thank you, UND-1.

Absolutely outstanding work!

That's not correct. Smith was committed to QU prior to Tambellini leaving UND. Smith gave his verbal right around New Year's Day, Tambellini left UND around Jan 7-8 I believe.

Correct. Yon visited, but UND has not yet offered. Nice player though.
