2023 State Tournament: AAAA/AAA New Names to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some new names to know along with a few guys who you should get to know more!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ganden Gosch of Mankato East (6'4 soph).&nbsp; Excellent all around game for Ganden who made a lot of people take notice.&nbsp; He had ten points, five assists, five boards, and five steals for the young and talented Cougars.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='962314' first='Grant' last='Gunderson'] of Orono (sr). He's not a new name to most but because he does so much of the dirty work I feel like he needs to headline this section.&nbsp; His contributions on defense, on the glass (nine boards), and moving the basketball were all important to Orono getting a two point win.&nbsp; Grant is the guy that steps in for the help defense, takes the charge, makes the extra pass and helps his team win.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caleb Jannsen of Stewartville (jr). Caleb is a 6 foot 4 starter that made every attempt he took today on his way to nine points for the game. He's been a solid role player for Stewartville that will return along with a lot of what will be considered a veteran line-up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1441798' first='Chase' last='Pemberton'] of Andover (jr).&nbsp; A 6'3 wing for Andover that hit three threes for the Huskies and scored nine points a game for the season.&nbsp; I could definitely see Chase taking a nice jump heading into his senior season as a go to shooter.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1288764' first='Pj' last='Pounds'] of DeLaSalle (sr). Pounds likely played his best game as an Islander today scoring 20 points when his team needed offensive production. Scored on 9 of 12 attempts for the game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1227246' first='Ben' last='Shaffer'] of Wayzaya (jr). Looking for that next Wayzata guard who plays a steady game and impacts the Trojans on both ends next year? I give you Ben! He knocked out a pair of threes today and scored 12 points on 5 of 7 shooting. Ben has been a key reserve all year and will have a bigger role next season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1223100' first='Jaxon' last='Shoenrock'] of Alexandria (sr).&nbsp; A 6'2 spot up shooter, high level defender, and all around intelligent player.&nbsp; Shoenrock was a pest on defense getting several deflections, five steals and forcing all around many turnovers.&nbsp; Also scored four times and had five assists.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
