SD State A Tournament: Prep Hoops Dakotas All-Tournament Team

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Tournament MVP</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3>[player_tooltip player_id='963742' first='Isaac' last='Bruns'] - 6'4” SG 2023 - Dakota Valley - University of South Dakota </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bruns capped off his impressive high school career with back-to-back state championships and an astounding 53 wins in a row. His scoring career concludes with 2,309 points, putting him at 15th most in South Dakota boys basketball history. When Dakota Valley was in trouble or needed someone to step up, Bruns was that guy in the state tournament. He knew he needed to score the ball for Dakota Valley to reach the pinnacle. In a blowout opening win, Bruns scored 24 points in only 22 minutes. In the game two victory over Hamlin, Bruns produced a double-double with 27 points (11-11 FT) and 12 rebounds. In the Championship game vs Sioux Falls Christian, he put in 22 points and 7 rebounds. The Gatorade South Dakota Player of the Year award to round things out. Bruns was clearly the go-to player in the State A tournament when it mattered most -- in crunch time. He'll be taking his talents to D1 University of South Dakota.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/isaacjbruns/status/1636096065446313985?s=46u0026amp;t=SEhj4b0vN7ZkDxMDlm1_Uw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/isaacjbruns/status/1636096065446313985?s=46u0026amp;t=SEhj4b0vN7ZkDxMDlm1_Uw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SDCoyotesMBB/status/1637488596524359681?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SDCoyotesMBB/status/1637488596524359681?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3><br>Prep Hoops Dakotas All-Tournament Team </h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='963787' first='Randy' last='Rosenquist'] <strong>- 6'1” PG 2023 -
