Another one of the state’s best teams found out how difficult it can be to play without its leader.
No. 18 Minnehaha Academy (14-7) has dropped three consecutive games, all to other rated teams in the Minnesota Star Tribune’s Top 25 girls’ basketball rankings. The last two setbacks were without leading scorer Addi Mack, a senior guard who missed losses to No. 5 Crosby-Ironton 85-65 and No. 23 Lakeville North 75-48 because of illness.
The Maryland signee is averaging 33.6 points per game. Earlier this season she eclipsed 4,000 career points and is the state’s second-leading scorer behind Braham’s Rebekah Dahlman mark of 5,060.
