Welcome Hannah and Great job Coach DeHoff and staff+++

[lakesbison]

great gets... i must admit.. the top 5 in the minnesota class are legit SEC, big 12 or big 10 girls.... next 5 are up there as well.. so that 10-15 range makes NDSU's class look dead scary!!


Taylor Hill is top 3 recruit in the country & best girls bball player in minnesota history and Brittany Chambers is probably the best female athlete in Minnesota History (bball and vball all state since a freshman I think)

[summitfever]

Great job getting Linz. A tremendous shooter from well beyond the three point line. She can stretch any defense.

[roadwarrior]

Early signing date must be coming up this week or next week?

[BlueKeyAlum]

Early signing period is Nov. 12-19.

[BlueKeyAlum]

In addition to her basketball acumen, Hannah has been getting it done on the volley ball court as well:


Linz earns CMC player of the week honors

Hannah Linz is known more for being a Division I women's basketball recruit, but the Eden Valley-Watkins senior is also a well-regarded volleyball player.

She was named Central Minnesota Conference Female Player of the Week Friday.

She has anchored the recent strong Eagles run, as they have won four of their past five matches.

Linz has made 73 kills, 47 set assists, 17 digs and served nine aces.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Despite 33 points (including 9 3 pointers) by Hannah, her Eden Valley-Watkins team lost in the final seconds to New London-Spicer, 58-57.

[d3boys]

33 out of 57
not much help

[gotts]

Early signing period is Nov. 12-19.

That is correct. We had a signing in the family.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Hannah and EV-W defeated Becker last evening, 64-59. No box score yet. They play at Ada tonight which fatures Nicole Smart, a signee for the Sioux.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Eden Valley-Watkins beat Ada Borup, 63-43.

[BlueKeyAlum]

•Eden Valley-Watkins 63, Ada-Borup 43: Hannah Linz scored 40 points as the No. 7 team in 1A beat the top-ranked and defending 1A state champion. Nicole Smart led Ada-Borup with 20.

I don't think Eden-Valley is 1A is it? Are they AA. Anyway...solid game by Hannah.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Hannah and EV-W and Janae and Roseville area have been competing at the Breakdwon Tip-In tournament.

Cool, the Star Tribune (see link to full article below) wrote that:


The biggest surprise at the Tipoff Classic might have been Eden Valley-Watkins' 63-43 victory over Ada-Borup. Eden Valley-Watkins is No. 7 in the 1A rankings, and Ada-Borup is No. 1. The Cougars also are the defending state champions and have three starters back from that team.

Kinda cool that Hannah, with her 40 points, almost outscored Ada-Borup single-handedly.

[DORMIE]

UND 2009 recruit, Nicole Smart scored 20 for Ada-Borup.

[BlueBisonRock]

Whats the title of the thread???????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????

Hannah Linz, the subject of this thread, outproduced Nicole Smart scoring 40 points (vs. 20 points) in a head to head competition between their respective teams. Hannah will join the Bison. Nicole will head up north. The referenced posts made this point in a simple, positive, factual, and comparitive manner. The statement that seems to be confusing to some of the Bisonville faithful supported the previous posts and the thread.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Hannah scored 30 points to lead EV-W over Rocori, 76-40.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Hannah had 25 points in EV-W's win over Howard Lake/Waverly.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Hannah had 30 points, including 8 from beyond the arc, as #5 Eden Valley-Watkins beat Holdingford 70-39.

Hannah is 8 points away from 3,000.

:bowdown: WOW :bowdown:

[BlueKeyAlum]

Hannah shares the secret of her shooting success. Hannah set a Minnesota prep single season record for three point shots made last season with 112.

She and gal pal Rachelle Eckmann are solid threats from deep.

[tony]

Sounds like Hannah had a big game offensively yesterday: 43 points.

[BlueKeyAlum]

hannah once again lights it up from afar.

Eden Valley-Watkins 62, Holdingford 46

HOLDINGFORD — Hannah Linz hit seven 3-pointers, finishing with a game-high 30 points in the Eagles' win against the Huskers (4-8 CMC, 10-11 overall). Eden Valley-Watkins, the No. 5-ranked team in 2A, is 21-1 overall this season.

Holdingford's Rachel Nelson had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Eden Valley-Watkins suffered just their second defeat of the season.

Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa 43, Eden Valley-Watkins 38

EDEN VALLEY — Heidi Lensing led a balanced Jaguars attack with nine points and BBE held Eagles’ star and North Dakota State recruit Hannah Linz to just 13 points.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Eden Valley-Watkins 64, Maple Lake 27

EDEN VALLEY — Eden Valley-Watkins’ Hannah Linz finished with 23 points, eight steals, six assists and six rebounds to help lead the Eagles (24-2) to the win.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Wow....pretty shocking story:

---DASSEL — Eden Valley-Watkins star Hannah Linz was limited to three points as Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted pulled off a 51-31 upset win over the Eagles in the Section 5 2-A North girls basketball championship game Wednesday.

The Lakers employed a diamond-and-1 defense on Linz. All of Linz's points came from the free-throw line. The Lakers led 25-11 at halftime.---

Tough break for Hannah and EV-W.

[tony]

Nice article on Hannah.

Good find, Tony.

Really excited about seeing Hannah and company in Bison Green and Gold.

[BlueKeyAlum]

Hannah talks about summer at NDSU (http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/245749/[u).

[roadwarrior]

Nice to see that the Forum realized they need a commitment to cover basketball other than just during the season too.

[Elephants Dream?]

I agree with road.
Pat on the back to the Forum for the coverage.
