When Hopkins leading scorer Tatum Woodson got out of surgery after tearing her ACL in December, she already had multiple texts from teammates letting her know that coach Tara Starks had them working harder than before.

Now, Hopkins is officially record royalty.

With Saturday’s 81-67 Class 4A championship win over No. 1 Maple Grove, the No. 3 seed Royals set a record for most girls basketball titles in Minnesota history with nine — breaking their deadlock with Rochester Lourdes, which won its latest title in 2005.
