4A Section Thursday Night Results, Performances and Prospects

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Owatonna Game Winner to Beat Lakeville South</h2>   The Huskies pulled off an upset Thursday night and did at the buzzer after trailing most of the game. 2025 seniors for Lakeville South [player_tooltip player_id='1470706' first='Keaton' last='Ressler'], [player_tooltip player_id='2104512' first='Hudson' last='Greene'], and [player_tooltip player_id='2406398' first='Malachi' last='Gant'] scored 41 of their 55 but one shot at the end erased that.   <a href="https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1897855321235693935">https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1897855321235693935</a>   [player_tooltip player_id='2109917' first='Nolan' last='Ginskey'] and Cole Kruschke combined for 38, each scoring 19 points to lead Owatonna.   Ginskey is a six-foot Winona State committed football player and is a good athlete. 5-time all-state football wide receiver, Ginskey attacks the rim well and puts pressure on the defense as a ball handler.   Kruschke is a six-foot-two-inch guard for the Huskies that is committed to play basketball at Bethany Lutheran. Kruschke gives the Owatonna a good outside shooter who has 10 games at least with at least three 3-pointers made in a single game since December 29th.   Freshman guard [player_tooltip player_id='2384018' first='Cooper' last='Routh'] of Owatonna scored 6 points.   Ressler, a six-foot-one-inch 2025 guard, scored 16.9 points per game for the Cougars. Ressler hit more than 2 3-pointers 20 times this season including 4 3-pointers versus Owatonna and he's committed to Dakota State University for next season.    Gant, a six-foot-one-inch 2025 guard is a solid athlete that gets up and down the floor fairly quickly and at times shoots the ball well from the perimeter. Gant versus Owatonna added 7 assists.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Farmington 57-52 Over Rochester Mayo</h2>   End of February I visited Rochester and got a chance to watch Rochester Mayo in person. I was very impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='2133222' first='Elliot' last='Myszkowski']'s ability to handle the ball under pressure and [player_tooltip player_id='2417626' first='Will' last='Gyarmaty']'s ability to score the ball.   In a tight game Thursday night the [program_tooltip program_id='2075852' first='Spartans' last=''] fell to the Farmington Tigers who are trying to get back to state. Farmington, who has had an up and down year at 15-12 and lost 2025 senior [player_tooltip player_id='1575348' first='Cole' last='Wilcek'] to a knee injury, pulled out the victory behind Minnesota State Mankato committed baseball player [player_tooltip player_id='2759772' first='Marshall' last='Gordon'], 2025 senior fellow senior Nik Domier, and sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2126447' first='Briggs' last='Sheridan'].    Sheridan, a six-foot-nine-inch 2027 center plays very much of a stretch big man. Good outside shooter as he hit three 3-pointers versus Mayo as part of his 11 points, runs the floor very well, and is a threat around the rim on defense blocking shots.    Farmington sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2126465' first='Tommy' last='Schabert'] is a six-foot-seven-inch 2027 prospect to be on the look out for this spring and summer.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lakeville North over Rochester Century 85-73</h2>   Players to watch from LN are [player_tooltip player_id='2094704' first='Johanes' last='Piscikas'], Dew Kolander, James Fager, and [player_tooltip player_id='1437598' first='Dane' last='Danielson'].   Century's [player_tooltip player_id='2173971' first='Sabir' last='Ahmed'] had a solid senior year although Century went 7-20. Ahmed scored 16.9 points per game and had some pretty big performances like when he scored 32 points on nine made 3-pointers versus Austin.   <a href="https://twitter.com/Sabirahmed_3/status/1883759162607517878">https://twitter.com/Sabirahmed_3/status/1883759162607517878</a>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rochester John Marshall Victory over New Prague 71-34</h2>   End of February I got a close look at John Marshall versus Mayo. [player_tooltip player_id='1450098' first='Eli' last='Ladu'], [player_tooltip player_id='2422069' first='Angok' last='Kucha'], and [player_tooltip player_id='2422068' first='Brayson' last='Sawyer'] showed me a lot in that game. Versus New Prague Ladu scored 22 points while Sawyer added 15 points. Kucha had a steal that led to a dunk and a massive chase down block in the game.   Ladu, a six-foot 2025 guard with a six-foot-three-inch wingspan showed me he can be a problem for opponents with his on ball defense and relentless attacking from the perimeter.   Sawyer is a six-foot-four-inch 2025 wing that can shoot the ball from the perimeter and is a good ball sharer.   Kucha, probably the player with the most potential because of the combination of size and length, can really wreck teams at six-foot-eight-inches. Kucha can give a team a real 3&D wing, and possibly play up a position defensively in the future.   [player_tooltip player_id='1437495' first='Evan' last='Weichert'], a six-foot-five-inch 2025 wing who missed most of the year couldn't offer enough help for New Prague. Versus Waconia the game before Weichert had a double double of 26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals.
