AAU State Tournament: U16 All-Tournament Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The AAU State Tournament is in the books but we're not done offering opinions on what happened there. North Tartan 2025 EYBL captured the U16 championship in a convincing win over Minnesota Stars 3SSB. The players cited here for the Prep Girls Hoops All-Tournament Team were the top performers in the U16 bracket that we were able to watch. Just a reminder that selections are based on the age group the players competed in, not their graduation year, and are for Division 1 competition only.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":658199,"width":197,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/Jaiden-Haile_Tori-Schlagel.jpg?w=787" alt="" class="wp-image-658199" width="197" height="256" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FIRST TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='262910' first='Tori' last='Schlagel'] – It's hard to put a finger on exactly what it is that the Eden Prairie guard does for North Tartan EYBL. That's because she literally does everything and most of what she does cannot be quantified. Sure Tori had 28 points, grabbed a bunch of rebounds, dished out some assists and forced some steals. All the #6-rated sophomore does is whatever it takes to win. She's our championship co-MVP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaiden Haile</strong> – Moving up to the highest levels of AAU, we weren't quite sure what to expect from the big power forward from Horace, ND who joined North Tartan EYBL this spring. At 6'2, with a ton of strength, Jaiden has been a force at both ends of the floor and in the championship game she was outstanding. Ranked #3 in North Dakota's Class of 2025, Jaiden earned co-MVP honors on Sunday with Tori.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='206227' first='Lexi' last='Hanna'] – The Crossfire Tusler guard from Maple Grove was on fire this weekend. Her 53 points led the U17 Division 1 tournament, a total that included 13 three-pointers. Funny thing is Lexi isn't really known as a shooter because she does so many other things well. Much like Schlagel, Lexi plays with a big motor, loves to get physical on the court, and is 100% committed to doing whatever it takes to win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='252379' first='Addison' last='Mack'] – The first time we saw Addi play back in 7th grade she caught our attention by bombing threes from here, there and everywhere. This weekend she made just one. That shows just how far her game has come. The state's 4th-ranked sophomore can beat you inside, outside, mid-range, off the bounce and more. She averaged over 12 ppg and ran the Fury's show at a very high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='205298' first='Jordan' last='Ode'] – Mack and Ode are the one-two punch for Fury 2025 UAA day in and day out. The #3 prospect in Minnesota's Class of 2025 has the state's biggest motor. She's long, fast, skilled and physical. With the Fury, just like at Maple Grove, Jordan is also a great leader who sets the tone for her team and combines with Mack to score the basketball on a regular basis. She averaged just under 10 ppg as the Fury earned a Top 3 finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SECOND TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='453749' first='Allison' last='Berns'] – We told you in our Week #7 recap that the Crossfire Tusler forward from Wayzata was one of the biggest stock risers of the weekend. She was a huge factor in her team's final four run, averaging 11 points per game and serving in a crucial defensive role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='330744' first='Savannah' last='Borowicz'] – In the absence of [player_tooltip player_id='296523' first='Kendall' last='McGee'] (out with an ACL/MCL injury) from the Stars 3SSB lineup, far more of the weight now lands on Savannah's shoulders and she has done an admirable job. The Top 35 sophomore is a great distributor who can also shoot it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='337633' first='Bella' last='Hanna'] – The most lengthy of the Hanna triplets, Bella has taken it to a higher level this spring. The Top 40 sophomore scored 48 points in the tournament including a pair of 18-point games against Crossfire Mueller and Fury UAA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='296528' first='Sam' last='Wills'] – The Visitation forward, currently ranked #5 in Minnesota's Class of 2025, is the most impactful player Stars 3SSB has. She is long and fluid and knows how to score using multiple methods. Sam averaged just under 10 ppg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='252383' first='Lanelle' last='Wright'] – The North Tartan EYBL point guard has evolved into one of the most reliable, most consistent performers on a very talented team. Ranked #3 in the Class of 2026, Wright once again excelled this weekend playing one year up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HONORABLE MENTION</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='346182' first='Elayna' last='Boe'] – Crossfire Mueller</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='208185' first='Liana' last='Buckhalton'] – Fury 2025 UAA</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='453752' first='Aubrey' last='Burkhart'] – Stars Peterson</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='550001' first='Rylie' last='Cother'] – Rise Jeddeloh</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='337630' first='Brooklynn' last='Holmberg'] – Metro Stars 3SSB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='330743' first='Abby' last='Hoselton'] – North Tartan EYBL</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='550025' first='Kendyl' last='Lodermeier'] – Metro Stars 3SSB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='339094' first='Kendra' last='Overskei'] – Stars Peterson</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='296530' first='Gracie' last='Winge'] – Crossfire Mueller</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='296531' first='Tatum' last='Woodson'] – Stars 3SSB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
