Mar. 27—Sophomore —Mayo

225-26 stats: 21 ppg, 54% field goals, 40% 3-pointers; 62 made 3's, 3.4 spg; 3.3 apg.

Noteworthy: The 5-foot-8 guard had a habit of playing her best basketball in the biggest games. She scored 26 points in a 73-71 state quarterfinal victory. She had 29 points in the state semifinals, when Mayo fell 65-64 to eventual state champion Rosemount. ... Mills has a lethal blend of ball skills, shooting touch, speed and quickness. And she stays cool in the clutch. Mills is receiving a number of Division I offers. ... Made the All-State Tournament team.

Sophomore —Mayo

2025-26 stats: 18.3 ppg., 55% FG, 36% 3-pointers, 40 made 3's; 2.6 spg., 8 rpg., 2 apg.

Noteworthy: The 5-11 forward has a combination of height, strength and explosiveness, along with guard skills, that makes her nearly impossible to guard one-on-one. She can attack the basket, score in the post or sit back and bury 3-pointers. She is also regarded as one of the most coachable players on the team and a prime leader. Dyer is already receiving a number of Division I college offers and is regarded as just scratching the surface as to how good she can be. ... Made the All-State Tournament team.

Senior —Byron

2025-26 stats: 22 ppg., 5.7 rpg., 3 spg. Finished career with 1,771 points, third all-time at Byron.

Noteworthy: The 6-foot guard will go down as one of the top couple of all-around players that Byron has ever had. She can score at all three levels and defensively is able to shut down the other team's best player. ... Finished third all-time at Byron in 3-pointers made (165) and fourth all-time in steals with 224. ... A great leader and person to help guide this Byron team. ... Will play next year at Marist University, a Division I school in Poughkeepsie Town, N.Y. Received Division I interest from a variety of schools.

Senior —Caledonia

2025-26 stats: 26.2 ppg., 44.8% on 2-pointers, 39.4% on 3-pointers, 4.1 rpg., 2.9 apg.

Noteworthy: The 5-foot-11 guard is one of the most lethal shooters in the area, and with great range. She scored in bunches all season. ... Finished as a 2,000-point scorer and was an All-State selection this season after being All-State honorable mention last year. ... Equally engaged on the offensive and defensive ends and on offense can score from anywhere. ... She played through a knee injury her final game.

Senior —Stewartville

2025-26 stats: 23 ppg., 5 rpg., 4 apg, 60% 2-pointers, 48% 3-pointers.

Noteworthy: The 5-foot-11 guard is our Post Bulletin All-Area Player of the Year for the second straight year. She helped carry Stewartville to a 29-2 record and a spot in the Class 3A state championship game where it fell to four-time defending champion Benilde-St. Margaret's. Shindelar is an excellent shooter but her greatest offensive strength is her ability to get the basket and weave through traffic. ... Shindelar has committed to Division I South Dakota State. ... She was named one of six finalists for the Minnesota Miss Basketball Award. She was also named to the All-State Tournament team where she scored 29 points in the title game.

Junior —Goodhue

2025-26 stats: 21 ppg., 53% on 2-pointers, 41% on 3-pointers, 5.1 rpg., 4.1 spg.

Noteworthy: Christianson had one of the top five seasons in Goodhue girls basketball history. She has an ability to score in a multitude of ways, including going to the basket and hitting 3-pointers, which makes her a unique offensive threat. Though just 5-foot-3, she also led the Wildcats in rebounding (5.1 per game) and steals (4.1 per game). ... The consistency that Christianson played with was remarkable. She scored in double figures every game and did that despite being the biggest focus of every opposing defense.

JAYCI RATH

Senior —Stewartville

2025-26 stats: 13 ppg., 6 rpg., 4 apg., 50% 2-pointers, 44% 3-pointers.

Noteworthy: 6-foot-1 forward. Rath might be the most versatile player in southeastern Minnesota. She's got great ball-handling skills, can shoot 3-pointers, defend almost any position and rebound with the best of them. ... She will play Division I basketball next school year at the University of St. Thomas.

Senior —Lourdes

2025-26 stats: 19.2 ppg., 10.8 rpg., 84.9% FTs.

Noteworthy: 6-foot forward. Hust was in her fourth year as a Lourdes starter. Fast, quick and wiry strong, she may be an even better defender than she is an offensive player. And she did plenty on offense, averaging 19.2 points per game. ... A great leader, she will play next season at Division II St. Cloud State University.

Junior —Lourdes

2025-26 stats: 13.8 ppg., 6.5 apg.3.4 spg.

Noteworthy: Williams is the ultimate point guard. She can score, but her best attributes are her elite ball-handling and passing ability. She ranked third in the state with 6.5 assists per game. Williams is also an elite defender, averaging 3.4 steals per game.

Eighth grade —Lourdes

2025-26 stats: 20 ppg., 39.6% on 3-pointers, made 129 3's, 2.6 apg.

Noteworthy: A 5-foot-9 guard. Truty is one of the most up-and-coming shooters in the state. Just an eighth-grader, she has fantastic range and made 129 3's this season, the second most in the state. ... Truty is also a solid defender and averaged almost three assists per game.

Senior —Hayfield/Schaeffer Academy

2025-26 stats: 17.9 ppg., 8.2 rpg.; 3.8 bpg., 78.2% on FTs.

Noteworthy: In just two years, Morrisey — a Schaeffer Academy student — broke the career blocked shots record at Hayfield. Morrisey, a 6-footer who will play next year at Bethel University, has a beautifully rounded game and is incredibly consistent.

Senior —Lanesboro

2025-26 stats: 21 ppg., 7.7 rpg., 4.9 apg., 4.2 spg., 47.3% on 2-pointers, 35.7% on 3-pointers.

Noteworthy: A 5-foot-7 point guard, Storhoff can absolutely fill up a box score. She did a lot of everything for the Burros, leading them in points, rebounds, assists and steals all while shooting 47% from the field. Storhoff was named honorable-mention All-State. ... Finished with a Lanesboro record 2,159 career points. Also owns Lanesboro record in career assists and steals.
