What players around Minnesota stepped forward with some of their best performances? We run through that list now! [player_tooltip player_id="1288733" first="Isaac" last="Asuma"] of Cherry (6’2 2024). Two years ago Isaac was bounced around in a lot of games but last night they did the bouncing against South Ridge. Asuma - one of the top ten sophomores in Minnesota - hit on 4 of 5 threes, dished out six assists, scored on 12 of 16 shots and totaled an efficient 28 points in the win. <a class="" title="View [player_tooltip player_id=" href="https://www.mnbasketballhub.com/roster_players/51450162">[player_tooltip player_id="850705" first="Blessed" last="Barhayiga"]</a> of Osseo (6’9 2022). Osseo had a great team win beating third ranked Minnetonka 85-75. It was a balanced effort with five guys in double figures including the 17 from sophomore [player_tooltip player_id="1284143" first="Isaiah" last="Johnson"]. Tonka isn’t a big team and as a team Osseo did a great job of getting the ball to Blessed and the 6’9 center did the rest scoring a very important 21 points for his team. [player_tooltip player_id="962273" first="Cooper" last="Drews"] of Princeton (6’4 2023). The Tigers continue to add to their resume of success this season and last night they pushed out an 87-85 win over a quality Sartell team. With the head coach at home, Cooper was that coach on the floor directing his team to the win. Drews scored 30 for the game and most of that was on his seven threes sunk. [player_tooltip player_id="1288688" first="Aiden" last="Johnson"] of Legacy (6’3 2023). Johnson’s Legacy Christian team knocked off United Christian nearly pulled off a triple double in last night’s win. He scored 40 points, grabbed 14 boards, and blocked six shots in the win. Monster night for Aiden. [player_tooltip player_id="1284147" first="Jack" last="Robison"] of Lakeville North (6’6/6’7 2024). North put together a massive one score win over Eastview in the game of the night. We checked with somebody that was there and we were told that Jack was one of the best all around players there in terms of all around production AND he was able to score himself and be a part of the scores when the Panthers made their key second half runs. He scored a game high 19 overall. [player_tooltip player_id="1143874" first="Jasper" last="Timm"] of Duluth Marshall (6’4 2022). Jasper led Marshall to a 69-53 win over Virginia scoring 36 points with 17 rebounds. Marshall has dealt with some covid this year and they are now getting rolling. Timm had a monster night and big things are expected in January.
