I just saw Fairbanks beat Perham with 35 points and nine boards hitting six threes. He's averaging 25 points, six assists and six boards shooting 44 percent from the arc. He is 15 points from 2,000.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284140' first='Hunter' last='Lorenson'] of Lake City.

The best player on a team that went to state last year and is right now ranked second in Class AA. He is a football player headed to NDSU but a good hooper too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1287439' first='Max' last='Woods'] of Chanhassen/[player_tooltip player_id='1284213' first='Seth' last='Newbern'] of Robbinsdale Armstrong. Woods and Newbern both missed the start of the year with football injuries, both have returned and are playing very well. Like Lorenson, injuries hampered their start.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1434055' first='Poet' last='Davis'] of Minneapolis South. Davis is scoring 21 a game for a South team that is ranked in Class AAA and has them thinking Minneapolis City Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
