2009 MINNESOTA MR BASKETBALL CANDIDATES ANOUNCED

The List of the 2009 Mr. Basketball candidates has been announced. According to Minnesota Sports Online the list of candidates include a range of players. Considering the dominance of the Hopkins boys’ basketball team, it’s no surprise to see four Royals among the list of 15 seniors in the running for this annual award. The Hopkins players are Royce White, Mike Broghammer, Trent Lockett and Raymond Cowles.

Henry Sibley has two on the list: Mike Bruesewitz and Chris Halvorsen. Here are the rest of the candidates…
Josh Figini, Chisago Lakes
Rodney Williams Jr., Cooper
Sam Dower, Osseo
Tydan Storrusten, Pelican Rapids
Mike Felt, Redwood Valley
Mike Muscala, Roseville
Jordair Jett, St. Bernard’s
Nate Wolters, St. Cloud Tech
Marc Sonnen, Tartan

Five finalists for Mr. Basketball will be named prior to the state tournament and the winner will be announced soon after the tournament concludes. In the past a banquet was held to honor the winner and other finalists but it has been discontinued.
