Monica Burich

Biggest shot you’ve made: Park of Cottage Grove this year, layup at the end of the game to put us up by three.

Must-dos before a game: LeeAnn Chin before every away game, listen to music and dance with my team, gameday pic on Snapchat.

Favorite “away’’ high school gym: White Bear Lake — some of the best games we played.

 

Courtney Fredrickson

Biggest shot you’ve made: Clutch last-minute free throws to win against Eden Prairie.

Must-dos before a game: Go home, sleep, eat pasta or have a Caribou smoothie, then listen to music and dance in the locker room.

Favorite “away’’ high school gym: Hopkins — big atmosphere and crowd.

 

Madison Guebert

Biggest shot you’ve made: Layup in the (2014) state championship game to take the lead for the first time with 50 seconds left.

Must-dos before a game: Eat either a Bruegger’s bagel or Jimmy John’s sandwich, listen to same songs, put on mascara, either curl or straighten my hair.

Favorite “away’’ high school gym: Park of Cottage Grove because it is always so loud and it is just a great atmosphere.

 

Taylor Koenen

Biggest shot you’ve made: Three-quarter court shot against Chaska buzzer-beater to go to the final championship section game.

Must-dos before a game: Go to Lifetime and shoot with my dad after school, eat Chipotle and get a caramel cooler at Caribou.

Favorite “away’’ high school gym: Chaska because I scored by 1,000th point in that gym.

 

T’Aire Starks

Biggest shot you’ve made: Section semifinals, 2009-10, Minneapolis North (seventh grade) playing at Waconia, hit a three in the corner to win in OT.

Must-dos before a game: Eat a piece of mint gum and put on Carmex before we meet.

Favorite “away’’ high school gym: (Minneapolis) Roosevelt, where we won the last section game (in my last year).
