PREP SPORTS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Duluth Denfeld power forward Carter Brown scored a game-high 22 points in a 61-55 boys basketball home victory over Cloquet on Thursday night. A 6-foot-4 junior and rising college prospect, Brown dominated at both ends of the floor. He jumps out of the gym, shoots over defenders with excellent rotation and touch, and wants the ball in his hands during crunch time. Brown is already a strong candidate for Mr. Basketball in Minnesota next season, a major sleeper quietly growing hoops whiskers in West Duluth.
