Five Best
Jace Bigelow Jace Bigelow 6'4" | SG Kasson-Mantorville | 2021 State MN of Kasson-Mantorville (2021). Jace is a scorer, a pure southern Minnesota scorer. At 6-foot-3/6-foot-4 on the wing Bigelow has many options to play college football but this young man is a 20 point per game guy with a flame-throwing jumper.
Jake Braaten of Byron (2021). Jake is surely one of the best players in the state that you need to get to know. Jake was good as a junior but down the stretch last season, he was great. The 6-foot-1 guard is a strong 190 pounds and he averaged 22 points, six boards, five assists, and two steals the second of his junior season.
Teyghan Hovland Teyghan Hovland 6'3" | SF Austin | 2021 State MN of Austin (2021). Mr. Do Everything, that is Mr. Hovland. Go play the post? Sure. Play the high post as the four? He can do it. Handle at PG? He’s done that. And of course the skill is there to play the wing. As a junior Hovland averaged 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
Ahjany Lee Ahjany Lee 6'9" | C Byron | 2022 State #145 Nation MN of Byron (2022). When it comes to prospects Mr. Lee is by far the best in the section as he has grown to 6-foot-9 with a standing reach of 9-foot-6. Ahjany has had college coaches calling him in bulk this month and they know it’s because Lee is a hard working, mature kid who is very coachable and will do whatever is asked. He runs so well and Ahjany has such quick bounce.
Okey Okey Okey Okey 6'2" | SG Austin | 2021 State MN of Austin (2021). Okey is the next Packer senior scorer. Has a great feel for putting the ball in the bucket, averaged 11.5 points a game as the 2nd/3rd option on a balanced team. Okey shot 46 percent on three-pointers as a junior ranking with the best in the state.
