The Minnesota Top 25, the Star Tribune’s statewide, class-crossing ranking of high school girls basketball teams

Another one of the state’s best teams found out how difficult it can be to play without its leader.

No. 18 Minnehaha Academy (14-7) has dropped three consecutive games, all to other rated teams in the Minnesota Star Tribune’s Top 25 girls’ basketball rankings. The last two setbacks were without leading scorer Addi Mack, a senior guard who missed losses to No. 5 Crosby-Ironton 85-65 and No. 23 Lakeville North 75-48 because of illness.

The Maryland signee is averaging 33.6 points per game. Earlier this season she eclipsed 4,000 career points and is the state’s second-leading scorer behind Braham’s Rebekah Dahlman mark of 5,060.

That 4,000-point plateau was reached by the top two juniors in the state, Maddyn Greenway of No. 1 Providence Academy (21-0) and Tori Oehrlein of Crosby-Ironton (21-0), this past week. They are both averaging over 31 points per game. Greenway has committed to Kentucky while Oehrlein is a future Gopher.

Maple Grove senior standout Jordan Ode reached the 2,000-point milestone last week. The Michigan State signee is averaging 24.2 points per game for the No. 2 Crimson (19-2).
