AmFam HS Play of the Year Nominees: Girls and Boys Finals

FOUR TOTAL PLAYS...TWO GIRLS AND TWO BOYS...BY THE END OF IT ALL, WE WILL HAVE A PLAY OF THE YEAR TO CROWN.

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR)–Here is how this works: Four total plays remain from the 2023-24 High School sports seasons across North Dakota. Two girls plays and two boys plays (decided by the sports department, in accordance with our play of the week nominees throughout the year). After each final is complete, we will crown the American Family Insurance High School Girls and Boys plays of the year. In the final week, the girls and boys final play will battle each other for the ultimate crown.

Girls Finals:

First, on the hardwood. Red River vs. West Fargo Horace in the EDC championship. Hannah Litzinger gets an opening in the corner, down 2 points, and with ice in her veins, nails the game winner to give the Roughriders the East No. 1 seed at state.

In play number two, Fargo North softball is battling Devils Lake. The ball gets passed the catcher, but no need to fear, Kenleigh Fischer is here. Fischer gets herself back into the play after retrieving the ball and applies the tag at the plate to record the out.

Boys Finals:

No. 1:

In play number one, we call this a SEM-sational slam. Jeremiah Sem for Fargo North goes up stairs for the poster dunk in the Class 2-A state championship.

That play is going up against our football representative, also Fargo North. In the play, they are taking on Grand Forks Central. The Knights are punting and the hand of Carter Zeller blocks the punt for north. The ball ends in the lap of Xzavier Buckmiller and he’s off to the races. Every lineman’s dream is to score a touchdown, and Buckmiller lived it. He takes it 50-yards to the endzone.
