Dwayne Bryant Dwayne Bryant 5'10" | PG Mankato East | 2024 State MN of Mankato East (5’10, pg, 2024). Dwayne was two way outstanding. He gave one of the best all around 25 minute stretches you will see. His defense was very strong on the ball and he was all over the place off of it. He made clutch foul shots, scored ten points, grabbed seven boards at 5’10, had two steals and four assists! And that sneaky steal from behind Grayson Grove Grayson Grove 6'9" | PF Alexandria Area | 2024 State #171 Nation MN might have been the play that got them the W.
Justin Johnson Justin Johnson 6'2" | PG DeLaSalle | 2024 State MN of DeLaSalle (6’2 guard, 2024). I love what Justin brings his team. He is that help defensive possession changer plus very good on the ball. Can score and he had a really good floor game as well in the loss scoring 14 points on 6 of 11 shooting
Isaac Olmstead of Wayzata (5’10 point guard, 2026). Isaac had three first half jumpers and all of them seemed to come with momentum. The end of the half one was of course big but the transition push jumper was also a big one slowing a Raider run. He also did a great job moving the ball for the Trojans with seven assists (12 points too). I thought it was a very mature performance from the quality young guard.
Dorian Pruitt Dorian Pruitt 6'6" | PF DeLaSalle | 2025 State MN of DeLaSalle (6’3 forward, 2025). Dorian is a long 6’3 who has really developed under this coaching staff. His team defense and skills have taken a huge step and he’s scored eight points a game this season. Scored 13 points on 5 of 10 shooting.
Alex Schroepfer Alex Schroepfer 6'4" | SF Eagan | 2026 State MN (6’4 guard, 2026). There is so much to like about Alex . I would say the main thing I liked was his ability to withstand the Tonka ball pressure and start the offense when others had some issues. At 6’4 not just with the skill level but his comfort and confidence in playing that role, and then moving into a role as the Eagan top weapon, it was impressive. Scored 16 points hitting a pair of threes, had three or four assists, and five boards, but it was his toughness and confidence in a variety of roles that stayed with me.
Greyson Uelmen Greyson Uelmen 6'2" | PG Minnetonka | 2024 State MN of Minnetonka (6’2, guard, 2024). Greyson was a two way terror for Eagan. His defensive efforts in ball pressure made even wing passes tough, his transition play with the outlets and the pull-ups was outstanding, and his efficient offense led to 21 points on 8 of 11 shooting with six boards. An excellent all around showing in the win over Eagan.
