Maple Grove High School senior forward, Katrina Theis, has accepted Coach Lori Fish\u2019s offer to play basketball and further her education at St. Cloud State University.\u00a0 She will join the Huskies program in the Fall of 2018.<\/p>\n
Theis, is a 3 year letter winner at Maple Grove, and until this week was one of the most talented unsigned seniors in the state of Minnesota. While Theis had interest and opportunities to play at other schools, she decided that St. Cloud State was the best fit for her and for her family.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players and the coaching staff are amazing and I really see myself fitting in well there.\u00a0 I also like that there are a lot of tools in place there to help me be successful academically.\u201d Theis commented.<\/p>\n
\n
Katrina earned Northwest Suburban All-Conference as a junior and a senior.\u00a0 She was the team\u2019s second leading scorer and leading rebounder for the past two seasons.\u00a0 Katrina scored 462 points this season, which was the 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0best scoring season in school history.\u00a0 She is a versatile player who can dominate on the block and defend any position on the floor.\u00a0 Her dynamic play and tremendous leadership helped lead the Crimson to a 25-7 record this season, a Section 8AAAA Championship, and a trip to the 2018 Minnesota Girls Basketball State Tournament. It was the school\u2019s first trip there since 2011.<\/p>\n \n \u201cIt has been so much fun watching Katrina grow as a person and a player over the past few seasons,\u201d Coach Mark Cook commented.\u00a0 \u201cHer athleticism has always been her strength, but to see her basketball skill come as far as it has makes her a truly special find for St. Cloud.\u00a0 I am so excited for her and for her family.\u00a0 She has worked so hard and just wanted someone at that level to give her a shot.\u00a0 I really believe that she is going to leave a lot of coaches wishing they would have recruited her earlier.\u00a0 She is a special talent.\u201d<\/p>\n \n The St. Cloud State Huskies finished 17-10 this season and 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0place in the NSIC North Division.\u00a0 St. Cloud State University is an NCAA Division II school located in St. Cloud, MN and competes in the 14 team Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference of which they are a top contender year after year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Maple Grove High School senior forward, Katrina Theis, has<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[7,8],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8CdKT-1Vw","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7828,"url":"http:\/\/kjasr.com\/live\/?p=7828","url_meta":{"origin":7410,"position":0},"title":"WBB Signings: 1 D1, 1 D2, 2 CC 4.25.2018","date":"April 26, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Ashman Signs NLI To Join LSU Women's Basketball Team-----LSU SCSU\u00a0Women's Basketball signs Maple Grove's Katrina Theis-----St. Cloud State Box Elder's Anderson signs with United Tribes------Great Falls Tribune Tetons women's basketball sign Italian exchange student-----Williston Daily Herald","rel":"","context":"In "Girls Basketball"","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":4054,"url":"http:\/\/kjasr.com\/live\/?p=4054","url_meta":{"origin":7410,"position":1},"title":"GBB Out & About: Wayzata v Maple Grove 11.29.2017","date":"November 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"WAYZATA 59, MAPLE GROVE 53 #5AAAA Wayzata won their third straight contest of the young season with a come from behind win at #10AAAA Maple Grove.
