2025 AAU Player of the Year & All-Star Team
In this article:
Clutch with a capital ‘C.’ That’s what Kendall McGee Kendall McGee 5'10" | CG Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2025 State MN is. The 5’9 combo guard from Minnesota Stars Borowicz gave us one of the summer’s most memorable moments as her clutch buzzer-beating 3-point basket gave her squad its fourth AAU State Championship in the past five years. There are a lot of really great players among Minnesota’s incoming freshmen, and any one of them can be a shining star on a given day, but this season’s brightest light is now the Prep Girls Hoops 2025 AAU Player of the Year.
Kendall is a two-year veteran of varsity competition and it shows. She started her high school career at the Breck School in 7th grade and now joins 2024 phenom Olivia Olson Olivia Olson 6'1" | CG Benilde-SM | 2024 State MN at Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Summer is when McGee shows her best stuff, though, and did she ever do that in the summer of 2021. McGee has terrific handles and amazing court vision. As our Tony Ragulen wrote earlier this year, “She’s a gifted scorer but seems to enjoy watching her teammates score off one of her signature no-look laser beam passes whizzing by the defenders’ ears” and “she is the ultimate floor general who got her teammates involved and came up big when needed.”
Stars Borowicz is a talented crew. This season, in the absence of the injured Dilan Tubbs and Tatum Woodson Tatum Woodson 5'9" | CG Hopkins | 2025 State MN , it was more important than ever that they played well as a cohesive unit. McGee was the catalyst for that, the one who could get the ball into the hands of Sam Wills Sam Wills 6'0" | SG Visitation | 2025 State MN or Katie Kelzenberg Katie Kelzenberg 6'2" | PF Wayzata | 2025 State MN or Ella Keenan up front, the disher who set up Savannah Borowicz or Kendra Harvey Kendra Harvey 5'10" | CG Byron | 2025 State MN or Anna Traschel and others in just the right way. It was a recipe that produced outstanding results, and McGee was the chef knew what to do with all of the tasty ingredients.
Addison Mack Addison Mack 5'9" | PG Minnehaha Academy | 2025 State MN had a tremendous year for North Tartan. Jordan Ode Jordan Ode 5'11" | CG Maple Grove | 2025 State MN of Fury 2025 Blue established herself as one of the best in the class, as did Tori Schlagel Tori Schlagel 5'9" | CG Eden Prairie | 2025 State MN of North Tartan. Gracie Winge Gracie Winge 5'10" | CG Lakeville North | 2025 State MN of the Minnesota Heat was terrific, too, as were Wills and Regan Juenemann Regan Juenemann 5'9" | CG Duluth Marshall | 2025 State MN of Starks Elite. For her performance in the biggest moments of the biggest games, however, we’ll give the edge to Kendall who definitely deserved the accolades all spring and summer.
