Player of the Week: Dec. 21st-27th
In a holiday week where most teams played just one game, there were still plenty of big performances leading to big wins. This week’s award has a senior theme to it.
Sam Baker: Benilde-St. Margaret’s, 2016
The Winona State-committed senior led the Red Knights with 24 points in a win over DeLaSalle; the Islanders are ranked No. 1 in Class AAA.
Ade Murkey: St. Croix Lutheran, 2016
The senior wing hit 1,000 career points with a 23-point effort against Waseca, cruising to a 83-60 win.
Elijah Hannah: MPLS Roosevelt, 2016
Hannah took his Class AA Roosevelt team with just one win and pitched in 30 points to defeat Tartan, a respected AAAA squad.
Vinny Shahid/Xavier Johnson: Hopkins, 2016s
Both are sharpshooting seniors from outside; both hit 21 points for Hopkins to beat Champlin Park, a team that many see as a state title contender. In a heavyweight bout, this senior duo helped Hopkins beat CP 101-82.
