Prep Scene
Former Twin Cities-metro area prep girls’ basketball stars Amaya Battle, Angelina Hammond, Adalia McKenzie, Kendall Coley and Ronnie Porter all made their presence felt in the Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament held at the Target Center a couple of weeks ago.
Battle, a 5’11” freshman guard from Hopkins, capped off a fine first-year, by running the show for the University of Minnesota.
Fellow 5’11” Hopkins alum and graduate student Hammond, also represented Minnesota at the guard and forward positions.
McKenzie, a 5’10” sophomore guard from Park Center, is one of the top scorers for the University of Illinois.
Coley, a 5’11 sophomore guard and St. Louis Park alum, contributed to the University of Nebraska.
Porter, a 5’4” guard from St. Paul Como Park, just finished her first year as a walk-on at the University of Wisconsin.
