Brett Rasmussen is a big reason Lakeville North's boys' basketball team opened the season with nine consecutive victories. The 6-4 forward averaged 16 points per game during that span. He had a season-best 25 against Champlin Park. Here is a closer look at Rasmussen:
The best movie I've seen in the last year? "Transformers 3" with my Minnesota Select teammates in Louisville this summer.
Three words my friends or teammates might use to describe me? Competitive; leader; and probably handsome.
Three songs I never skip on my iPod are ... "Check Me Out" by Ace Hood; "Derrick Rose" by Meek Mill; "The Motto" by Drake.
How do you balance school and basketball during the year? I try to get as much work done in my cooperative career class since after practice I usually go get another workout in.
When did you get started playing basketball? In a Burnsville co-ed YMCA league in third or fourth grade.
At my first varsity practice, I felt ... pretty nervous since Devin Shockley and I were the only sophomores with a mostly senior roster.
What is your most memorable moment as a high school athlete so far? Playing against Jake White (now at Wichita State University) and Chaska in my first varsity game as a sophomore.
