Here are the rest of our weekly awards for Week #9

<p>First, our candidates for our Breakout Player, Team, Breakout Team and Coach awards. This week’s winners are listed at the bottom of the page.</p> <p><strong>Top Breakout Performer</strong></p> <p><strong>Gionna Carr, Bella Hartzell and Lilly Mackley, Hill-Murray, freshmen. </strong>The future looks bright at Hill-Murray where three freshman are contributing to an otherwise veteran team. Hartzell, a 5-8 guard, is starting and scoring 7.5 points per game. Mackley, a 5-10 forward, is scoring 5.5 ppg. Carr, a 5-9 combo guard, is scoring 6 ppg. All 3 are long and athletic. Mackley is especially long and Carr especially athletic. Carr scored 15, Hartzell 22 and Mackley 10 in a pair of games last week.</p> <p><strong>Brooke Lewis, Eden Prairie, 5-10, junior, point guard. </strong>Lewis is not alone in bouncing back from a tough year last year. The entire EP team is doing that but Lewis is Exhibit A. She scored 28 points last week as EP clobbered Waconia then battled Hopkins before losing 68-60.</p> <p><strong>Peyton Mages, New London-Spicer, sophomore, guard.</strong> OK, we’ve been slow to recognize Mages. All eyes are on senior guard Shea Oman, but her new running mate is 2nd on the team in scoring at 11 ppg. She scored 19 last week vs. Mound.</p> <p><strong>Izzy Quick, Champlin Park, 5-9, sophomore, guard. </strong>OK, first, she’s got one of the great basketball names we’ve seen this year. And, yes, she is. She’s become the 4th leading scorer on a veteran team at 7 ppg. And, last week, she scored 31 points in a pair of wins over Elk River and Blaine.</p> <p><strong>Tori Tollefson, Chanhassen, sophomore, guard. </strong>Tollefson scored 34 points as Chan swept a pair of games, making it 5 in a row, to get back to .500 after a 2-7 start.</p> <p><strong>Top Team Performance</strong></p> <p><strong>DeLaSalle </strong>extended their winning streak to 8 games with a 61-55 win over #1AAA Holy Angels.</p> <p><strong>Hayfield </strong>swept a pair of rated AA teams on the road—Stewartville 70-68 in OT, Rochester Lourdes 70-66—despite 3 starters and 5 of their top 7 players out with injuries.</p> <p><strong>Mahtomedi,</strong> with an early season win over DeLaSalle, added a pair of wins over AAAA Hastings and Hill-Murray last week. With Holy Angels’ loss, the Zephyrs move up to #1AAA.</p> <p><strong>Sauk Centre</strong> continued to steamroll teams including, last week, a pair of rated teams, Albany and St. Cloud Cathedral by an average of 26 points. They’re now 15-0 and of course they remain at #1AA.</p> <p><strong>Wabasso </strong>swept 3 games, including a 2nd win over Sleepy Eye, this time on Sleepy Eye’s home court.</p> <p><strong>Top Breakout Team Performance</strong></p> <p><strong>Apple Valley </strong>defeated Rosemount, making it 6 wins in their last 7 games and 9-7 overall.</p> <p><strong>Barnum</strong> won for the 5th time in 7 games after a 2-7 start. #12A Cromwell was the latest victim 57-55.</p> <p><strong>Buffalo </strong>and <strong>Rochester Mayo </strong>have each won 6 straight. Buffalo has been 9-1 in its last 10. Mayo beat then #7AAA Red Wing 53-37. Both moved into the Class AAAA top 25 for the 1st time at #24 and #25, respectively.</p> <p><strong>Cloquet</strong> surprised Hibbing 61-58 for its 5th win in 6 games, and a 9-5 record overall.</p> <p><strong>Sartell-St. Stephen</strong> won its 3rd and 4th straight games, including a 76-66 upset of Fergus Falls.</p> <p><strong>Top Coach</strong></p> <p>The candidates all coach Top Team and Top Breakout Teams described above.</p> <p>Scott Bergman, Sauk Centre.</p> <p>Neil Dolan, Wabasso.</p> <p>Brian Doughty, Apple Valley.</p> <p>Eric Prose, Mahtomedi, who has already won a weekly coaching award this season.</p> <p>Grant Stewart, Buffalo.</p> <p><strong>The Envelopes Please</strong></p> <p>First, our <strong>Northstar Top Performer</strong>. 10 candidates are discussed in a prior post.
