Grimm
Rosemount senior Hannah Grim entered the season No. 2 on the school’s all-time career scoring list in girls’ basketball. She will leave as No. 1.
More importantly than the individual accolades, though, for Grim would be to exit as a winner. The Irish, coming off a 6-21 season in 2012-13, are 4-5 through nine games.
Grim, who is averaging more than 23 points per game, signed a letter of intent with Marquette in November. Here is a closer look at Grim, who also runs cross-country and track for the Irish:
