D4 Saturday, March 14, 2020 ND CLASS A STATE GIRLS BASKETBALL The Forum Shanley defeats Mandan prior to tournament being suspended By Adam Watts [email protected] FARGO — The Fargo Shanley girls basketball team’s motto all season has been “Whatever it takes.” And before the North Dakota Class A girls state bas- ketball tournament, the Dea- cons made an addendum to their motto: “finish.” “Before the tournament, the girls came in and said, ‘finish,’” Shanley coach Steve Jacobson said. “I put that on the board. I wrote ‘Whatever it takes’ and then in big letters underneath it, I wrote ‘finish.’ We play four minutes at a time. If we can win those four minutes, 90% of the time we’ll win any game.” Shanley hoped for the shot to live up to its new motto and finish the season with a state championship. The North Dakota High School Activ- ities Association announced Fri- day afternoon that all remaining winter postseason state tourna- ments are suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Deacons defeated Mandan 73-55 in the state semifinals on Friday at the Scheels Center at Sanford Health Athletic Com- plex. “This season our whole team — every practice, every game — had the excitement, had the energy,” Shanley senior Reile Payne said. “We came together as a family and we’re able to prove ourselves because every- one thought we were young and inexperienced. But we proved we belong and we’re good enough.” Shanley jumped out to an 11-2 lead early and every time the Braves tried to cut into that lead, the Deacons had the answer. The closest Mandan got after that game-opening run was a seven-point deficit David Samson / The Forum on three occasions. Each time, Fargo Shanley’s Reile Payne battles for a loose ball against Mandan’s Lakyn Darras and Amaya Ramsey on Friday, March 13, during the Payne responded — including North Dakota Class A state girls basketball tournament in the Scheels Center at the Sanford Health Athletic Complex. with a buzzer-beater to send the Deacons into halftime with SEMIFINALS Payne was there with the answer other’s backs.
