2027 AAU State Champions: Minnesota Fury UAA

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There wasn't a ton of drama surrounding the 2027 class at this year's AAU State Championships as, for the second straight season, the same four programs found themselves back in the Final Four. The seeding may have shifted around a bit, but the names stayed the same: [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] EYBL, [program_tooltip program_id='712699' first='Minnesota' last='Rise'] Purfeerst, [program_tooltip program_id='712665' first='Metro' last='Stars'] 3SSB, and [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] UAA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That kind of consistency says a lot about the level these programs have played at over the past couple of years. Each team brings a different style and identity to the floor, but all four have continued to separate themselves with depth, talent, and experience in big moments. While fans may have hoped for a surprise team to crash the party, the reality is these programs have set the standard in Minnesota's 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tartan was looking to pull off the hallowed three-peat as they matched up with the Fury in the championship game for the third straight year. The Fury had other plans. Coming in as the No. 1 seed, they steamrolled through the field, knocking off [program_tooltip program_id='774605' first='Southern' last='MN Fury'] 2027, [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] 17U EYCL, and the Rise Purfeerst team by an average of 31 points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They looked locked in from the opening tip all weekend long. [player_tooltip player_id='498658' first='Morgan' last='Mathiowetz'] led the charge with 20 points in the title game, while [player_tooltip player_id='377583' first='Mya' last='Wilson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='578467' first='Amisha' last='Ramlall'] added 18 points each. The Fury played with confidence, shared the ball, defended at a high level, and never really let anyone settle into a rhythm against them. We'll have more on the top performers from the weekend later on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Championship team members: [player_tooltip player_id='644100' first='Annika' last='Kieser'], [player_tooltip player_id='498658' first='Morgan' last='Mathiowetz'], [player_tooltip player_id='578467' first='Amisha' last='Ramlall'], [player_tooltip player_id='766676' first='Skyler' last='Mancini'], [player_tooltip player_id='377583' first='Mya' last='Wilson'], EllaMay Cooper, Olivia LeBlanc, Tylee Weite, [player_tooltip player_id='764229' first='Toni' last='Fisher']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TOP FINISHERS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1^st&nbsp;–&nbsp;[program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] UAA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2^nd&nbsp;–&nbsp;[program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] EYBL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>3^rd&nbsp;–&nbsp;[program_tooltip program_id='712699' first='Minnesota' last='Rise'] Purfeerst</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4^th&nbsp;–&nbsp;[program_tooltip program_id='712665' first='Metro' last='Stars'] 3SSB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5^th&nbsp;–&nbsp;[program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] 3SSB </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6^th&nbsp;–&nbsp;[program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] S40</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SCORING LEADERS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>58 – [player_tooltip player_id='889671' first='Nesa' last='Namjoshi'], [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] S40</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>56 – [player_tooltip player_id='377584' first='Ava' last='Cupito'], [program_tooltip program_id='712665' first='Metro' last='Stars'] 3SSB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>54 – [player_tooltip player_id='1145711' first='Reagan' last='Essig'], [program_tooltip program_id='774605' first='Southern' last='MN Fury']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>52 – [player_tooltip player_id='932014' first='Ma'lon' last='McCoy'], [program_tooltip program_id='713420' first='Minnesota' last='Diamond Elite'] West</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>52 - [player_tooltip player_id='595199' first='Maya' last='Kilian'], [program_tooltip program_id='712699' first='Minnesota' last='Rise'] 2027 Purfeerst</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>51 – [player_tooltip player_id='377583' first='Mya' last='Wilson'], [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>50 – [player_tooltip player_id='498658' first='Morgan' last='Mathiowetz'], [program_tooltip program_id='712687' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>50 – [player_tooltip player_id='498661' first='Pressley' last='Watkins'], [program_tooltip program_id='714566' first='Minnesota' last='Stars'] Post</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>49 – [player_tooltip player_id='1177343' first='Jacey' last='Bryan'], [program_tooltip program_id='767539' first='Minnesota' last='Comets'] Elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>47 – [player_tooltip player_id='630241' first='Kate' last='Arnold'], [program_tooltip program_id='712722' first='North' last='Tartan'] EYBL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
