AAU State Championship: 2029 All-Tournament Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An embarrassment of riches. That's what we had to choose from in selecting a Most Valuable Player in the AAU State Championships 2029 Division 1 bracket, especially when you consider that the winning team – [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] <strong>2029 EYBL</strong> – is one of the most-balanced units you'll see competing this season. We could just have easily chosen [player_tooltip player_id='872714' first='Beckett' last='Greenway'] of Providence Academy or [player_tooltip player_id='897060' first='Madeleine' last='Hamiel'] of Cretin-Derham Hall<strong>. </strong>Instead we opted to select their talented teammate [player_tooltip player_id='884449' first='Andie' last='Changamire'] of Becker. Here's a rundown an all of the 2029 All-Tournament Teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FIRST TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='884449' first='Andie' last='Changamire'] – The lengthy guard from Becker does so many things for her squad, from making big shots to forcing big turnovers to using her superior length and athleticism to put opponents on their heels from start to finish. The [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] <strong>EYBL </strong>standout is one Minnesota's premier 8th graders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='872714' first='Beckett' last='Greenway'] – The [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] <strong>EYBL</strong> point guard is an elite ball handler and distributor who is emerging from the shadows of her superstar sister to carve out an exceptional reputation for herself. Beckett is calm under pressure and utterly unafraid of the big moment. Greenway averaged 10 points per game at State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='897060' first='Madeleine' last='Hamiel'] – The athletic guard from Cretin-Derham Hall made a terrific impression this winter, her first in Minnesota, while leading her team to the high school State Tournament. This weekend she played a crucial role at both ends of the floor as [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] <strong>EYBL</strong> won it all. She, too, averaged 10 ppg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='932145' first='Brielle' last='Denkmann'] – The 6-footer from Wayzata is making a case for herself as the top prospect in the Class of 2029. Anyone who watched [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Blue</strong> star this weekend would have to agree that she is a special talent. Brielle had 25 points in the Fury's semifinal win and led D1with 54 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='941745' first='Nevaeh' last='Grosse'] – The [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Blue</strong> guard has one of the smoothest shooting strokes we've seen. Navaeh gets it up quickly and gets it up high and lands three-pointers as well as anyone. The Eastview 8th grader had 15 triples in four games at State and 51 points in all.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SECOND TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='994855' first='Izze' last='Austin'] – The incoming freshman from Edina is an elite point guard with an exceptional skillset, quality athleticism and a real feel for the game. Coming off an injury a couple of weeks ago, the [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Blue</strong> floor general made it clear she was good to go when it mattered most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1090111' first='Riley' last='Beyer'] – [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Blue </strong>has so many great guards and so many players who can shoot the ball at a very high level. The crafty athlete from Alexandria would have to be included among them, but she offers so much more. Beyer is super quick, can handle it with the best of them and is a terrific passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='925046' first='Jordan' last='Staloch'] – The [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] <strong>EYBL </strong>guard is one of the most consistently solid players in the Class of 2029. Jordan plays smart basketball, choosing her shots wisely, passing the ball with accuracy, and utilizing her length effectively. The 8th grader from Jordan rebounded, blocked shots and made plays all weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1090087' first='Lariah' last='Wright'] – Playing up a year, the 2030 guard from Minnetonka was the engine that propelled [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] <strong>Wright </strong>from the 14th seed to a final four finish at the State Championships. She is exceptionally skilled with outstanding handles, terrific court vision and superb basketball IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1057125' first='Macie' last='Henrikson'] – Like she has throughout the AAU season to date, the athletic guard from Farmington played a crucial role in helping 5th-seeded [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Yellow</strong> forge a third-place finish in Division 1. Macie was consistently productive, scoring 7-10 points per game and providing the energy her team needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HONORABLE MENTION</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1243841' first='Sawyer' last='Backer'] – [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] <strong>EYBL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1055102' first='Farrah' last='Thomas'] – [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Blue</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1246849' first='London' last='Clardy'] – [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] <strong>Wright</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='939003' first='Isabella' last='Deleeuw'] – [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] <strong>Hersch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1246851' first='Aza' last='Baartman'] – [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] <strong>Zabel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1246847' first='Greta' last='Layton'] – [program_tooltip program_id='713021' first='West' last='Central United'] <strong>Blue</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1233136' first='Korbin' last='Tanner'] – [program_tooltip program_id='713021' first='West' last='Central United'] <strong>Blue</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kenley Haug </strong>– <strong>Inspired Athletics Jr EYBL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Macie Neumiller </strong>– <strong>Inspired Athletics Jr EYBL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='981166' first='Leah' last='Brustad'] – [program_tooltip program_id='712699' first='Minnesota' last='Rise'] <strong>Levendoski</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1246846' first='Nivaya' last='Koles'] – [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Yellow</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1002988' first='Chloe' last='Reedy'] – [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] <strong>Yellow</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1246844' first='Nikki' last='Gustafson'] – [program_tooltip program_id='712665' first='Metro' last='Stars'] <strong>Gold</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
