Expectations are high at Lakeville South because they return their top three scorers (Patterson, Riley Mahlman Riley Mahlman 6'9" | C Lakeville South | 2021 State MN , and Avery Mast Avery Mast 6'5" | PF Lakeville South | 2022 State MN ) as well as several reserves off a 21-7 team. Patterson led the team in scoring at 18 points a contest as a junior.
“This winter season our goal is always the same as a team as far as making it to the state tournament and to win the tournament,” Reid said. “We understand what it takes and what we have to do to get there and are more than willing to do it.”
A big reason that Patterson is so respected by his teammates AND opponents is the work he puts in. His goal this off-season was to physically improve himself as well as become more skilled.
“Over the last six months I’ve really been focusing on getting faster and stronger with the weight room and multiple speed trainers,” Reid said. “I continue to train at least two days a week with Mitch Ohnstad just like I’ve been doing for several years.”
Ohnstad was Reid’s coach for Minnesota Select this summer. Injury led to Patterson missing about half the games but when Reid did play he was a clutch playmaker leading his team to victories. It also led to some schools looking hard at his ability.
“Right now I hear a lot from ConcordiaSt. Paul and get texts from multiple NSIC schools and then I have recently started communicating with Air Force. I plan on making a decision on where I want to go next year sometime in the next few weeks.”
Patterson is also the quarterback of the Lakeville South football team. He’s a top 5-6 quarterback in the state of Minnesota’s senior class and a top 100 ranked football prospect overall.
