[player_tooltip player_id='2126128' first='Isaiah' last='Asuma'] - The six-foot 2027 Cherry Tigers guard had 37 points, 9 boards, 2 assists and 5 steals versus South Ridge last week. A few nights earlier versus Mountain Iron-Buhl Asuma had a triple double with 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists. Asuma is a good finisher for a guard his size, six-foot-two-inches, and he is very difficult to slow down in transition when he pushes the ball.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1998185381578322202 </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2488739' first='Jacob' last='Drevlow'] - Drevlow is a six-foot-one-inch 2026 guard for Sauk Center that scored 40 points and grabbed 9 rebounds versus Holdingford, and then scored 22 points making three 3-pointers versus Legacy Christian. Drevlow did well to get himself into space off screens and let the ball fly from the perimeter in both games, connecting on nine total 3-pointers.     [player_tooltip player_id='2524653' first='Dawson' last='Hofer'] - Hofers is a six-foot-three-inch forward from Holdingford that averaged 26.4 points per game as a sophomore. The now 2027 junior has Holdingford 2-0 with wins over Sauk Centre and Upsala. Versus Upsala Hofer scored 49 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, handed out 5 assists, had a steal and a block. Hofer plays a hard aggressive style and has good footwork in the post. Good athlete as he showed versus Upsala where he picked a pass off and took it the distance with a slam. Hofer is expanding his shooting with two made 3-pointers versus Upsala.   [player_tooltip player_id='2877064' first='Carter' last='Brown'] - Brown is a six-foot-five-inch 2027 wing who had 21 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, a block and a steal versus North Branch in a Duluth Denfeld victory.

Versus South St. Paul he also had a double double with 23 points and 10 boards.    [player_tooltip player_id='1560779' first='Ashton' last='Olson'] - The 2026 Albany wing scored 26 points and grabbed 8 rebounds versus Melrose in a Albany 57-48 victory. Olson, a six-foot-three-inch guard committed to Saint Mary's University shot the ball from the perimeter, jumped a passing lane for a fastbreak lay-up for a score, and did well attacking off the dribble.   [player_tooltip player_id='2420045' first='Carson' last='McDonald'] - McDonald is a six-foot-one-inch 2026 senior who scored 23 points versus Crookston. The East Grand Forks guard is a solid outside shooter, handles the ball well, and has a nose for it on the defensive end picking up steals.   Sam Afagwu - Aragwi is a six-foot-six-inch 2027 forward from Pequot Lakes that versus Moose Lake/Willow River had 16 points and 6 boards. Aragwu is an active defender and energy player on the floor. He makes short range shots and has good length for deflections.   Brodi Huls - Huls is a six-foot 2026 senior for Holdingford that is a good outside shooter. Last season he set the school record with an eight 3-pointer made game. Versus Sauk Centre he hit four triples on his way to 18 points and versus Upsala he knocked down three triples for 11 points.
