With that in mind, here’s a look at some of the top guards from the big schools in Section 7
Ayden Mcdonald Ayden Mcdonald 6'4" | PG Omaha Central | 2022 State MN , Hibbing
McDonald is one of the best point guards in the state regardless of class and his ability to balance getting his own shot with facilitating is nearly unmatched. He’s a big guard who might not have elite athleticism, but he is so solid and efficient getting to the spots he wants to get to. He’s an excellent perimeter shooter and has improved as a finisher over length.
Manny Flicek Manny Flicek 5'9" | PG Princeton | 2021 State MN , Princeton
Flicek was a key cog in Princeton’s success last year and he’ll take on a lead role this winter – which means he’ll have a chance to pump up some big numbers running the show. Flicek is smooth off the dribble, has a great understanding of where his teammates are and how to get guys good shots, and he’s more than capable of putting up 15-plus points per game.
Will Van Scoy Will Van Scoy 6'1" | PG Duluth East | 2022 State MN , Duluth East
Van Scoy is going to be a key cog for the Greyhounds this winter as he’s one of the best shooters in the section. He’s been a key cog for Duluth East since his eighth-grade year and on a team with two top-notch frontcourt pieces, he’s a perfect ingredient to balance the team on the perimeter.
Mayson Brown Mayson Brown 6'1" | SG Hibbing | 2021 State MN , Hibbing
Brown pairs with McDonald to form one of the best backcourts in Class AAA. He’s an elite level off ball player who does a great job using screens, cuts, and understanding of spacing to be available for looks. He’s a near-40 percent 3-point shooter who has plenty of off-the-dribble juice to create his own shot against rotating defenses.
Adam Schneider Adam Schneider 6'1" | SG Cloquet | 2021 State MN , Cloquet
Schneider emerged as a legitimate bucket-getter for the Lumberjacks last winter, averaging better than 20 points per game while providing a bright spot for a Cloquet team that won nine games. He’ll be the focal point of the offense again this winter and the Lumberjacks should be much-improved.
Calvin Foy Calvin Foy 6'1" | SG Andover | 2021 State MN , Andover
Foy led Andover in scoring last year, averaging 13 points per game while supplying top-notch perimeter defense and solid playmaking. He’s just so solid all-around. He shoots it at a high level, he can get to the paint and finish and he’s a quality shot-creator off the bounce. And while he’s not the biggest guy, he’s a competitive defender who will get into people.
