Three Forks' senior Micaiah Hauser handles the ball during a Class B tournament game last month. Hauser recently signed an NAIA national letter of intent to play for head coach Shawn Huse and the Montana State University-Northern Lights.
Montana State University-Northern head men’s basketball coach Shawn Huse has announced his first member of the 2020 signing class.
Huse recently announced the signing of Three Forks guard Micaiah Hauser.
"Micaiah is a fantastic kid, first and foremost,” Huse said. “A tough, tough competitor who has been coached well throughout his upbringing and overcame injury hurdles, Micaiah is a true example of hard work. We love what he brings to the gym each day. Micaiah is very athletic and truly possesses the grittiness that you see, and that is needed in the Frontier Conference. As with anyone making the jump to four-year basketball, there is a learning curve. That being said, he is a student of the game who has proven time and again that he can take on and overcome challenges with the best of them.”
Hauser, a 6-0 guard, averaged 20.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1.5 assists this season. He was named to both the All-State and All-District 5B teams. Three Forks finished 20-5 and qualified for the State Class B Tournament in Butte. At the tournament, the Wolves upended Powell County 38-35 in the first round, then fell to eventual co-champion Fairfield in the semi-finals. Following the semifinals, the remainder of the tournament was canceled due to coronavirus cases in Montana.
"Micaiah is a great student who works very hard at his studies as well,” Huse said. “We feel he epitomizes what our team is about, and will it in well and enhance who we are. MSU-Northern and Havre landed another quality guy today.”
Hauser joins a Lights squad that finished 20-12 in 2019-2020. They advanced to the semi-final round of the Frontier Conference Tournament before falling 68-73 at eventual champion Lewis-Clark State.
