The Big Stage All Event Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players are the best of the best from the Big Stage. The top talent and we talk a little on what they did, and the upward trend those players are on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2412724' first='Dre' last='Collins'] of Richfield: Dre had 29 points and 6 rebounds (13-18fg) in the Spartan win. Collins is a prospect on the up. His level of activity and explosiveness is at a rare level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2560499' first='Kevin' last='Wilson Jr.'] of Tartan: Wilson had the gym on fire for his second half scoring binge that had Tartan up ten when the game was shut down. He scored 23 points in 27 minutes of game time, Gopher coaches were watching at mid-court. Top sophomore player in the state right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560739' first='Max' last='Iversen'] of Maple Grove: Iversen totaled 26 points and four assists (9-18fg, 6 3s) in the Crimson blowout win over DeLaSalle. Max was doubled and denied his first game, was ready to roll in this second game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2418241' first='Joseph' last='Jacobs'] of Park Center: 32pts/6rb/4ast (13-20fg). Jacobs made a big impression in the first game his name is now on the map. This was a take notice performance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2869262' first='Michael' last='Stevens'] of Minneapolis Washburn: Stevens was one of the hardest working players at the event, really a strong 6'3/6'4 player that could be a nice prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560835' first='Tian' last='Chatman'] of Totino-Grace: 16pts (5-7fg, 2-3ft). Tian has had three really nice halves in a row shooting the basketball and providing pop to his team. Led his team in scoring in the win over Apple Valley. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140700' first='Tyrece' last='Hagler'] of Richfield: 20pts/8rb/5ast (6-13fg). Hagler is the Spartan sixth man and he provides instant offense for his team. Hagler will be one of the top scorers for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2420169' first='Ahmed' last='Nur'] of Hopkins: Nur had 15 points and seven boards when the game was shut down, he was living at the foul line and showed more fight than I had seen. Ahmed had three Minnesota Gopher coaches watching close. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2842299' first='Finn' last='Dyvik'] of Orono: 17pt/10rb (8-14fg). Loved Finn's work rate. Orono has spots to fill and Finn looks to be a guy that can really help the [program_tooltip program_id='2075852' first='Spartans' last=''] scoring, defending, rebounding etc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560760' first='Kyler' last='Pust'] of Champlin Park: 21pts (7-12fg, 4 3s). The Rebels were beaten soundly but Pust never stopped competing. Shot it well and gave the team a player to rely on with [player_tooltip player_id='2126450' first='Gavin' last='Walter'] out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560753' first='Alex' last='Young'] of Minneapolis Washburn: Alex is one of the best shooters in Minnesota I have seen so far this year. Hit five threes and scored 19 points in the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Third Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560740' first='Dothan' last='Ijadimbola'] of Totino-Grace: 10pts/7rb (4-10fg). Balanced effort from the Eagles, Dohan did his part on a way to a double-double before the starters sat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2557528' first='Ichima' last='Idoko'] of DeLaSalle: 15pts/5rb (4-8fg). Gave an energetic effort, another player that the Gophers were checking out. Top prospect in his class right now when it comes to future potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126117' first='Malachi' last='Hill'] of Totino-Grace: Had a ten point effort for the Eagles who had eight guys flying at their opponent in balanced fashion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2271330' first='Trey' last='Parker'] of Apple Valley: 18pts (6-14fg). Parker was the Eagle that was able to find space and confidently score against the TG Eagles. He has a different scoring feel than a lot of others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126145' first='Waleed' last='Muhammad'] of Richfield 13pts/6rb/4ast (5-8fg). Richfield built a 24-2 lead fast and Waleed was a big part of the scoring both as a creator and finisher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fourth Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bryaden Gorton of Minneapolis Washburn: Scored 16 points and had back to back threes in a big impact time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126108' first='Jack' last='Thelen'] of Maple Grove: 10pts/8rb (4-4fg). Great feel, smart player good hands and nearly had a double-double.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2121341' first='Gavin' last='Elmquist'] of Maple Grove: 15pts (5 3s). Stepped off the bench and hit five threes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alex Pilakowski of Orono: 15pts (5 3s).
