Thursday/Friday Night Minnesota HS Basketball

[player_tooltip player_id='2815210' first='Parker' last='Maloney'] - The six-foot-seven-inch 2026 center from St. Peter has helped push them to 3-0 record already for the season. Maloney used his size to be a disrupter in the paint blocking shots and deflecting passes allowing St. Peter to get out in transition for easy scores. Maloney, also a good rebounder, doesn't lose many battles inside for loose balls.   [player_tooltip player_id='2433767' first='Tyler' last='Erickson'] - Erickson is a six-foot-four-inch wing from Woodbury that knocked 6 3-pointers versus Hudson scoring 23 points Friday night. Erickson has a quick shot motion with little extra movements in his release. Solid athlete that moves well enough on the floor.    [player_tooltip player_id='2126128' first='Isaiah' last='Asuma'] - Asuma a 2027 guard from Cherry continues to show an increase in athleticism in his game and ability to be dominant on offense and defense. Thursday night Asuma had two identical plays where he stole the ball at the 3-point line and raced to his basket dunking over a taller trailing defender. During the spring and summer I got to see Asuma assert himself as the lead ball handler with the MN Comets Dahl team.   <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/p/DR3dXdBDgQG/ </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2447537' first='Jaxen' last='Holmlund'] - Holmlund is a 2026 Waconia wing that is six-foot-three-inches with a 6'7 wingspan. Against Shakopee he scored 19 points and like his game Wednesday versus SW Christian where he scored 11 points he contributed all over the box score. Holmlund rebounds, distributes the ball, blocks a shot and secures a few loose balls or makes steals.   [player_tooltip player_id='2126458' first='Luke' last='Schroeder'] - The six-foot-three-inch Schroeder scored 35 points versus Waconia Friday in a variety of ways showing off scoring at all levels. The 2027 guard has an incredibly deep shooting range where defenders have to guard him well past the 3-point line. As Schroeder has grown his game has as well and he's able to drive and finish over smaller guards.   <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/p/DR7QMn9jTLO/ </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1560741' first='Will' last='Kirsch'] - Kirsch a six-foot-one-inch 2026 Waconia guard scored 39 points versus Shakopee Friday in a match-up versus another high volume guard. Kirsch coming off a good football season and a 20 point, 6 assist game versus Southwest Christian Wednesday night a game Waconia also won.   <a href="https://stats.mnbasketballhub.com/roster_players/77815095">[player_tooltip player_id='2569247' first='Jiech' last='Jiech']</a> - Jiech is a six-foot-four-inch 2027 guard from St Cloud Tech that scored 29 points versus Alexandria hitting 4 triples while grabbing 9 rebounds and handing out 5 assists for the Tigers. Jiech has grown three inches the past year giving him a longer lackey frame.   [player_tooltip player_id='2118449' first='Mason' last='Witt'] - Witt is a six-foot-one-inch 2026 guard from Alexandria that showed off game 1 versus St Cloud Tech scoring 30 points and hitting four 3-pointers. Witt, a 40% 3-point shooter last season has deep range beyond the high school 3-point line, doesn't need much more or time to get his shot off. Witt comes off screens quickly, squares his body and has a smooth quick release.   [player_tooltip player_id='2413330' first='Judd' last='Layton'] - The six-foot-three-inch 2028 guard from Big Lake scored 24 points versus Fridley Thursday night. Layton, a secondary ball handling guard, shoots the ball well from the perimeter, and plays with a high IQ making the right passes and right rotations defensively.   [player_tooltip player_id='2115657' first='Gavin' last='Roderick'] - Roderick is a six-foot-four-inch 2026 guard from Alexandria that had an excellent summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2075496' first='Grassroots' last='Sizzle']. The Cardinals guard is a good athlete that can flush on fast breaks, and showed off a bit of his outside shooting ability versus St. Cloud Tech with three 3-pointers of the catch and shoot variety. Roderick contributed in every box score stat grabbing a couple rebounds, handing out a few assists, and securing 2 steals and 2 blocks.   Becker Has 4 That Score At Least 16 Points   In a 79-60 win Friday versus St. Cloud Cathedral the Becker Bulldogs got 22 points from 2027 guard [player_tooltip player_id='2417091' first='Isiah' last='Boyer'], 21 points from 2026 guard [player_tooltip player_id='1506327' first='Nathan' last='Weiss'], 18 points from six-foot-four-inch 2026 senior [player_tooltip player_id='2399176' first='Bryce' last='Paumen'] and 16 points from 2026 guard [player_tooltip player_id='2399155' first='Troy' last='Nuest']. This comes after Becker beat Legacy Christian 85-60 on Tuesday night where Weiss had 28, Paumen 16, Boyer 15, and Nuest 14.   [player_tooltip player_id='1560852' first='Salifou' last='Camara'] - Camara a 2026 six-foot-two-inch wing for St. Cloud Cathedral had 24 points versus Becker Friday night. Camara has solid strength, is a capable ball handler, gets up and down in transition, and has a long wingspan. Camara's increased ability to shoot the 3 ball makes him much more dangerous on the floor.   2030 Note Paris Kyles Jr of Park Center scored 13 points for the Pirates Friday night versus Roseville in Park Center's first win of the 2025-26 season.

Parker Maloney Parker Maloney 6'7" | C St. Peter | 2026 State MN - The six-foot-seven-inch 2026 center from St. Peter has helped push them to 3-0 record already for the season. Maloney used his size to be a disrupter in the paint blocking shots and deflecting passes allowing St. Peter to get out in transition for easy scores. Maloney, also a good rebounder, doesn't lose many battles inside for loose balls.
