Mid-Season All State Fourth Team
[player_tooltip player_id="846124" first="Joich" last="Gong"]Alonzo Dodd of South St. Paul (Soph). I have no idea when the Packers had double figure wins last but they do now. The relentless work of Alonzo Dodd and his 25 points a game is a big part of it.

Joich Gong Joich Gong 6'2" | PG Mankato East | 2020 State MN of Mankato East (Sr). Gong is the perfect compliment next to Madson as he has one of the best pull-ups around, can handle and create, plus he scores 13-14 a game for the 3rd ranked Cougars.
Michael Gravelle of St. Cloud Apollo (Sr). A point guard that has led Apollo to 11-1 on the season with 17 points and 5 assists a game.
