Hopkins vs. Orono
St. Olaf Holiday Hoops Classic
8:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 28

Hopkins (6-1) has nine players averaging 5.0 ppg or more, led by Michigan State commit Nia Hollie (14.4) and Hampton commit Ashley Bates (16.3).

Outside of a road loss to No. 5-4A St. Michael-Albertville, the No. 2-4A Royals' smallest margin of victory was a 16-point win over No. 6-4A Elk River.

The No. 1-3A Spartans (7-0) have five wins over Class 4A teams but will face no bigger matchup than this one against the Royals at St. Olaf.

Tori Andrew (16.1 ppg) and Danielle Jorgenson (12.0 ppg) will need to keep up scoring pace to compete with Hopkins' depth.
