Emily Becken notched her first double-double of the season with a 17-point, 11-assist effort in the Wolves' 76-65 win over the University of Mary. Becken was one of four Wolves in double figures in scoring and one of three players to notch a double-double, marking the first time that has happened this season. NSU has now won four straight games.

Jordan King

Men's Basketball

Jordan King (G, 6-0, 180, Jr., Arlington, S.D./Arlington HS) led an NSU comeback effort against the University of Mary with a career-high 16 points on Saturday despite playing just 17 minutes of the game. King drained four of eight 3-point attempts, including several late treys to keep the Wolves in contention. He was also a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line while dishing out five assists and coming up with one of the team’s three steals.

ABERDEEN, S.D. – This past Sunday, 17 high school boys laced up their cleats and headed off to school in Aberdeen. No not that kind of school.

Those 17 high school boys headed to Northern State University for the fifth installment of head coach Chris Boden’s Quarterback School, which Boden has run every summer since being hired in 2005. The athletes were able to learn the complexities and intricacies of the quarterback position during five practices covering three days time, culminating in a Top Gun competition for all the campers on Tuesday morning.

“Our Quarterback School is designed for the serious high school quarterback. It is designed to teach and work the fundamentals of the position. We get into details about reading coverage’s, executing under duress, and how to carry the fundamentals over into a competitive environment,” said Boden afterwards.

“2009 was the biggest QB School we have had in our 5 years of holding the camp. The kids this year were hard working and made significant improvement in five practices.”

Earning Top Gun honors for the JV-age campers was Evan Finley from Northwestern High School, and taking home the Top Gun honors for the varsity-aged campers was Hayden Handcock from Sully Buttes HS…last year’s JV Top Gun.
