Minnesota Freshmen Showcase: Headliner for each Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I give you who I thought was the best player on each of the teams at the Minnesota Freshmen Showcase when I got a chance to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>****quick note, some of these kids took the wrong jersey number or switched them and it threw off writers from knowing who they really were when things happened. So in all of these articles we are sorry if we wrote about a player and it has the wrong name, but this was a first look for most of us and when the kids make a mistake with the jersey numbers (or the staff did) we might make a mistake in what we saw. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team 1: Rj Brown of Eastview/[program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'],
