Top Performer winner

Frannie Hottinger, Cretin-Derham Hall. One of the leading scorers in the state continued to produce for her team. Hottinger, Cretin-Derham Hall's all-time leading scorer with over 1,600 points, registered a pair of double-doubles last week. She recorded 26 points and 11 rebounds in a 64-62 loss at Eden Prairie on Feb. 6, then went for 35 points with 11 boards two days later to take down Mounds View 69-60.


Top performer candidates

Jordyn Glynn, Grand Meadow. Glynn scored 20 or more points in three wins last week to help Grand Meadow remain unbeaten this season. Her best showing came on Feb. 4, against Lewiston-Altura, when the senior put in 25 points and 10 rebounds in a 60-34 win.

Lindsey Smitsdorff, Legacy Christian. After Legacy Christian suffered two straight losses, Smitsdorff asserted herself by recording 23 points, 12 boards, three assists, two steals and two blocks to beat Trinity 52-31 on Feb. 9.

Solana Cushing, Minneapolis South. Cushing scored 35 points in a win over Minneapolis Washburn on Feb. 5. The win extended Minneapolis South's unbeaten streak to four.

Taylor McAulay, Centennial. Centennial, ranked No. 10 in Class 4A by Minnesota Basketball News, got production from its senior guard last week. McAulay posted a near triple-double with 38 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in a 99-72 win at Osseo on Feb. 5.
