What a player we are getting next season! He is unselfish! I don't know how many assists he had last evening but I bet he was feeding Brian Smith when he knew his teammate had the hot hand.
Champlin Park's next game is at Hopkins on Thurs. 1/26

According to this he only had 3 assists. I'm still impressed by his overall output (23.2 ppg, 6.9 apg, 8.2 rpg, 2.7 spg). I know high school competition isn't the best, but I'm impressed by anyone 6'0" tall grabbing 8+ boards a game. I'm assuming they don't really track turnovers...no way he only has 2 this season.

Still hoping to get out and see him play in person. I'm about 45 minutes from Champlin Park. My local team is also one of the top teams in the state - still holding out hope that we play Champlin Park in the State Tournament so that I can get out there and watch. My wife joked that we should show up in our UD garb and get MW up to speed on the various UD cheers.
