WALT MCGRORY
Edina • basketball

The 6-foot-3 senior guard scored 61 points to lead Edina to victories over Shakopee and Hopkins last week.
But his offensive prowess isn't all that his coach has noticed.
"We know we can always rely on him for 20 points a game," Edina coach Joe Burger said. "But what has been so impressive is that while he is averaging 28 points per game on the season, he's still getting six assists per game and leads us in rebounding with nine rebounds per game. So, he's getting other guys involved as well."
McGrory, who has been on the Hornets' varsity since eighth grade, scored 30 in the Hornets' 95-65 victory over Shakopee on Tuesday. On Friday, he scored 31 as the Hornets defeated Hopkins, ranked No. 3 in Class 4A, 73-63.
"We expect that offense," Burger said. "We play in a tough conference and he's been all-conference for three years. And, he's solid defensively."
McGrory scored 20 points in the Hornets' season-opening loss to Minneapolis North, ranked No. 1 in Class 1A.
