Frontier Notebook: Havre's Dani Wagner rewriting Carroll's record books

The Frontier Conference men's and women's season are now halfway done. And things are perfectly unclear.

On the women's side, Providence, Rocky Mountain College and Carroll College are running away from the rest of the league, but not from each other. The three teams are operated by just one game, with all three holding national rankings as well. But Western and Montana Tech are five games out of first now, while MSU-Northern is winless, and that means, the league is really a three-team race for the first time in quite some time.

The men's regular season is even a bit more muddled. Montana Tech sits alone atop the standings, one game ahead of Carroll College. MSU-Northern is alone in third place at just 4-4, while Rocky, is four games back, and Western and Providence are five games out.

Of course the league will be tight down the stretch because everybody has beaten each other up thus far, and things will likely continue on that path right to the final weekend of the season.

League Leaders

At the halfway mark, Marcus Stephens of UP is the leading scorer on the men's side at 22 points per game. Carroll's Jovan Sljivancanin also averages 20 points per night, while Northern's Mascio McCadney is third and David Harris is fourth in the league in scoring at 19 and 17 points, respectively. Sljivancanin averages a double-double, leading the league with his 11.3 boards per game, while Western's Max Clark leads the league in assists at 5 per outing. UP's Dawson Fowler is first in the Frontier in steals at 2 per game, while Rocky's Maxim Stephens leads the league in blocks.

On the women's side, Rocky's N'Dea Flye is having a huge season, leading the league at 20 points and 11 rebounds per night. UP's Emilee Maldonado is second in the Frontier at 17 points per game. Maldonado also leads the league in assists at 4 per game, while Flye is first in steals at 3.3 and Tech's Tavia Rooney is tops in blocks.

Wagner making history at Carroll

Former Havre Blue Pony Dani Wagner continues to reach huge milestones in Helena. Last weekend, Wagner took over second place on the Carroll women's all-time scoring list.

Wagner is having a monster season for the Fighting Saints, averaging 15 points per game, which is third in the Frontier. She shoots 52 percent from the field and leads the league with her 47 percent average from the 3-ppoint-line. Wagner also chips in with five rebounds and two assists a night for the Saints.

In her last outing, Wagner scored 26 points as the Saints beat Montana Tech.

With Wagner moving into second, the top two scorers in Carroll history now played at Havre High. Jolene Fuzesy holds the scoring record at Carroll with 2,067 points.
