[player_tooltip player_id='2524653' first='Dawson' last='Hofer'] - The six-foot-three-inch 2027 guard from Holdingford had back-to-back 31 point scoring games at the Legacy Christian Holiday Tournament and the game right before both of those he had 29 points versus Maple Lake in which he showed off his ability to finish above the rim on the break. Hofer is a good athlete, and in transition is much better than the competition he's playing at Holdingford. Small forward position is what he seems to be best at. In two other games he had 28 points versus Sauk Centre and 33 points versus Upsala this season.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEShFNuxPil/?igsh=MW9qejN2eXFnM2l3 </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2451443' first='Tommy' last='Larson'] of Littlefork-Big Falls is averaging 29.3 points per game and 8.4 assists.

The Triton wing versus Cannon Falls had 33 points and 20 rebounds. Petersohn is a good athlete who's dangerous on the wing in transition and how he's able to finish above the rim, and he makes it tough on opponents on defense with his ability to block shots and pick up steals.   [player_tooltip player_id='2104431' first='Marnaries' last='Ferguson'] - Ferguson is a five-foot-ten-inch guard from Duluth Denfeld. Ferguson has been filling box scores while scoring more than 24 points per game like versus Cambridge-Isanti where he had 21 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 steals.
