Re: Great West River basketball players..

Has anyone mentioned Scott Morgan- Mitchell, Scott Beckstrand-Lincoln or probably the best HS Player ever in the state Eric Kline-Aberdeen Central. Jason Sutherland-Watertown, Josh Mueller- West Central, Eric Lappe-Harrold, Brent Lindskov-Isabel, Steve Arends-Emery, Cody King, Lyman, Chuck Welke-Warner, Craig Cheeseman-Hanson, Joe Kieffer-Howard.

I was just thinking of some guys and typing some names as the best to play.

thought?

Some good players there, but isn't the title of the thread Great West River Basketball Players? King and Lindskov are the only players listed from West River, but I would agree that they were both very good.

Could also add Denver Tenbroek from Macintosh and Begeman (can't recall first name) from Isabel if they haven't been mentioned.

Re: Great West River basketball players..

...got to thinking about some real fine players from Custer (1990-present):

Trevor Long
Mike Dortan
Jay Steele
Paul Schaffer
Derek Ballard
Lance Luitjens
Derek Paulsen
Paige Paulsen

Larry Luitjens seemed to have his team in the State A's every year.

Jake Roddy, who graduated from Custer in 2009, was one heck of a guard. He didn't have much help. Could beat pretty much any player off of the dribble. As I recall, he got most of his points from driving rather than outside shots. At 5'10" he was really quick. Lack of height probably kept college coaches from calling but I read in the RC Journal that he is attending Colorado State and doing well.

Craig Cheesman, from Hanson, what a throw back, I was a 8th grader when they won the last two section Class B tourn. He was good even when my dad coached him in Junior High.
