High level rebounder and scores about 16 a night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2435292' first='Judah' last='Schultz'] of Little Falls (fr). A young talent to know, Judah scored nearly ten points a game last season as an All Granite Ridge Conference player.

A 6'6 frontcourt player that scored 9.3 points a game with 5.6 rebounds a contest, Parker is a good ball screening player that can sit in the post or set the screen and roll to catch and finish. Good passer too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3719204' first='Alex' last='Hoppe'] of Willmar (sr). A 6'2 small forward that scored nine points a game with five board a contest earning all league honors. A good defender that gets length to shots, passes, and is regularly in the right spots.
