Freshmen All State First Team
Mercy Miller of Minnehaha Academy (6’4 SG). Right now Miller is the catalyst when it comes to Minnesota freshmen. He had high major offers (Missouri and Minnesota) plus he scored a dozen points a game for the best team in the state. Freshmen MVP statewide.
Isaac Asuma of Cherry (5’11 PG). Class A’s Freshmen MVP. Isaac put together a 25 point, 12 rebound, and 6 assist a game average helping his team win a dozen games. Isaac has turned this program around rapidly as an 8th and 9th grader.
Casmir Chavis Casmir Chavis 6'2" | PG Park Center | 2024 State #170 Nation MN of DeLaSalle (6’2 PG). Chavis had a strong 8th grade year at BC and followed that up at DeLaSalle with an excellent first season for the semi-finalists of Class AAA. Chavis averaged seven points a game.
Grayson Okoronkwo of Blake (6’1 SG). Grayson would be your Class AA freshman MVP as the leading scorer for a veteran team that was top five in state much of the year. Grayon scored 16 points a game.
Jerome Williams Jr of Minneapolis South (5’8 G). Williams led South to a 7-8 record with a Class AAAA Freshman best 16 points a game. All Minneapolis City player.
Freshmen All State Second Team
Dominic Fairbanks of Cass Lake-Bena (5’10 PG). Cass Lake-Bena was 18-4 this year and spent a good part of the year in the top ten. Fairbanks averaged 16 points, four rebounds, and four assists a game as a big piece to this run.
Kaydin Lee of Cass Lake-Bena (5’10 SG). Lee and Fairbanks are an outstanding pair which is why they were all league players and our co-section players of the year because both have done so much for the Panthers to go 18-4.
Hunter Lorenson of Lake City (5’9 PG). Lake City brought only one player back from last year’s rotation quickly getting younger. The record slipped only from four Ls to six with Hunter scoring 15 a game in the backcourt.
Jay Neubert of Sauk Centre (6’2 SG). One of the first names brought up when people talk top freshmen in Minnesota is Jay Neubert. Neubert has a great feel and a pretty shooting stroke that scored 15 points a game.
Derek Sorenson of Fertile-Beltrami (5’11 SG). Derek scored 17 points a game as the number one player for the Falcons. Fertile-Beltrami went 18-3 on the year and Sorenson surprised many with an outstanding year.
Freshmen All State Third Team
Daniel Freitag Daniel Freitag 6'1" | PG Breck | 2024 State #142 Nation MN of Bloomington Jefferson (6’3 G). Scored nearly 11 a game for a Jefferson team that surprised many.
Chiang Ring of Minneapolis South (6’8 F). The top rebounder and shot blocker on this list, Ring also scored 9-10 a game for South.
Jaden Shones of Lake City (6’1 SG). Another piece of the Tigers youth movement (keep an eye on Keegan Ryan too) was Jaden Shones. Shones scored nine points a game for the 13-6 Tigers.
Will Strandemo of Delano (6’0 PG). Will Strandemo stepped up for a team that was almost brand new and helped them to 13-7. Will scored 13 a game for Delano.
Caiden Swenby of Fertile-Beltrami (6’1 SG). Caiden stepped into a big varsity role became an all league honored player scoring double figures on average.

Randy McClendon Jr of DeLaSalle (6’1 PG). Scored 2-3 buckets a contest as a part time starter for a top Class AAA team.
Jason Osborne of New Ulm (6’1 SG). Jason averaged 11 points a game and earned all league honors for a much improved team.
Jack Robison of Lakeville North (6’5 F). Robison was in the frontcourt rotation for the Panthers scoring two three times for a 13-7 team.
Isaac Snell of Shakopee (5’10 G). Played 9th/10th Man role when team was fully healthy, stepped into a big role and played well when team had injuries.
