(1) Charlie Hansen Charlie Hansen 6'2" | SF Benilde St Margaret's | 2021 State MN (6’2 Sr Guard) of BSM. Last night’s MVP of was senior Charlie Hansen Charlie Hansen 6'2" | SF Benilde St Margaret's | 2021 State MN . This was a game where few shot the ball well so Charlie’s big makes, were closer to massive makes. When everybody in half one was struggling for both teams, Charlie hit a corner three, a runner, and a pull-up. He would then make two more threes plus put forth a great rebounding effort. Finished with a 15 point, 10 board double-double. Big game for the best BSM senior.
(2) Andrew Mandel Andrew Mandel 6'9" | C Orono | 2021 State MN (6’9 Sr C) of Orono. The big impact Orono player was their center Andrew Mandel Andrew Mandel 6'9" | C Orono | 2021 State MN . His ability to take away pretty much everything around the basket from BSM was key with four blocks and several deep contests. Mandel grabbed eight boards, had a couple key put-backs, and made two second half triples. Finished with ten points on 4 of 6 shooting.
(3) Daniel Ijadimbola (6’2 Jr Guard) of BSM. Daniel is BSM’s leading scorer but he had a lot of trouble finishing all over the court last night. What really excited me was that despite the off night, Daniel found other ways to contribute. He rebounded with effort (8 for the game) and passed the ball with intelligence. Made the simple ball reversal plays and attacked the cup leading to feeds. Daniel also made the biggest play of the game stealing a pass and going the other way for a dunk late in the game. Had nine points and five assists.
(4) Sebastian Loder Sebastian Loder 6'3" | SF Orono | 2022 State MN (6’7 Jr Guard) of Orono. With leading scorer Graham Beltrand sidelined, Orono needed some shooting in his place. Loder was able to make a couple jumpers and score four times for his ten points.
(5) Theo Pohlen (6’5 Sr Forward) of BSM. Theo scored a few times, grabbed six boards, and spent part of the game getting length on Orono bigs Madel and Connor Chappell Connor Chappell 6'6" | PF Orono | 2021 State MN . Chappell had a poor day shooting and Pohlen played a hand in it.
(6) Maddox Alipate Maddox Alipate 6'1" | PG Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2022 State MN (6’1 Jr PG) of BSM. Another talent that did his part on defense helping limit a key Orono piece (Isaiah Hagen) to a tough day while scoring six points and grabbing four boards.
(7) Connor Chappell Connor Chappell 6'6" | PF Orono | 2021 State MN (6’6 Sr Forward) of Orono. The effort was there, Connor boarded nine times, and he gave it his best. Terrible day shooting in his final game scoring on 2 of 12 shots.
(8) Sam Best (6’3 Jr Forward) of BSM. Pulled down eight boards and made a three.
(9) Isaiah Hagen (6’3 Soph PG) of Orono. Had trouble finding space to score (shot 2 of 10) but was Orono’s best option in terms of creating a shot.
(10) Kyle Kallenbach Kyle Kallenbach 6'0" | CG Orono | 2023 State MN (6’0 Soph SG) of Orono. Kyle scored twice.
