<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1586882' first='Jeremiah' last='Johnson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1428994' first='Hudson' last='Hochstedler'] - Johnson and Hochstedler both 2025 seniors have been paired in the same backcourt for so many years now they play off each other so well. When one has to lead, the other follows and vise-versa. A very yin and yang. The two leading the Knights have them at 9-2 so far averaging 18 points and 15 points per game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">[player_tooltip player_id='1428994' first='Hudson' last='Hochstedler'] (<a href="https://twitter.com/hhochstedler15?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@hhochstedler15</a>) Highlights vs Elk River Dec 2024<br><br>25 points<br>2025<br>Guard<br>STMA <a href="https://twitter.com/STMABB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@STMABB</a> <br>MN Fury <a href="https://twitter.com/mnfuryboys?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@mnfuryboys</a> <a href="https://t.co/fgso57SQWp">https://t.co/fgso57SQWp</a> <a href="https://t.co/BTXMmp7nKO">pic.twitter.com/BTXMmp7nKO</a></p>&mdash; StreetHistory Videos (@streethistory) <a href="https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1868129672405585964?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 15, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2103407' first='Caiden' last='Schjenken'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1582113' first='Cale' last='Jackson'] - Deer River is 10-0 and it's because of this duo tandem guards. So far they have taken 211 3-pointers combined and have scored 460 points so far. Pushing tempo every night from both guards makes Deer River an incredibly difficult team to play with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1579885' first='Nolan' last='Groves'] and Brady Wooley - This duo doesn't share a backcourt together but that may make them more difficult on a game to game basis. The 2025 seniors are looking to push Orono back to state for the third straight year versus an incredibly difficult section. Both Groves and Wooley can score at all levels, they play tough defense, and rebound very well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Brady Wooley (<a href="https://twitter.com/BradyWooley25?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BradyWooley25</a>) Highlights vs Hopkins Jan 2025<br><br>2025<br>Center<br>Orono <a href="https://twitter.com/BoysOrono?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BoysOrono</a> <br>Adidas D1 MN <a href="https://twitter.com/adidasD1MN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adidasD1MN</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NorthstarHoops?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NorthstarHoops</a> <a href="https://t.co/yQAO8CtWFS">https://t.co/yQAO8CtWFS</a> <a href="https://t.co/v7M6WbiriF">pic.twitter.com/v7M6WbiriF</a></p>&mdash; StreetHistory Videos (@streethistory) <a href="https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1875602504555352516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 4, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Yale commit [player_tooltip player_id='1579885' first='Nolan' last='Groves'] dropped a game high 30 points in a win for Orono today at the <a href="https://twitter.com/BreakdownUSA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BreakdownUSA</a> Tip Off Classic! <a href="https://twitter.com/NolanGroves4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NolanGroves4</a> <br><br>Full highlights: <a href="https://t.co/7Kav3pZT34">https://t.co/7Kav3pZT34</a> <a href="https://t.co/gVNI4zUGRS">pic.twitter.com/gVNI4zUGRS</a></p>&mdash; Fresh Coast Hoops (@FreshCoastHoops) <a href="https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/1865597718153891869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 8, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1574227' first='Chace' last='Watley'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2126117' first='Malachi' last='Hill'] - The duo backcourt at Totino-Grace is scoring a combined 37.1 points per game while the 2025 senior Watley is scoring 23.5 a game.
