State University women’s coach, Amy Ruley. Pat Barrett and
the Miss Basketball Committee did another exceptional job
observing our candidates for 2010. This year’s honor goes to
Cassie Rochel from Lakeville North.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for your commitment
to Minnesota Girls Basketball. It has been an honor and
privilege to serve as President of the MGBCA. It’s been a
great experience and an opportunity to connect with many of
you throughout the state. I welcome Patty Sorenson from Park
Center as the incoming President. Patty has been very active
in our Association and will do a great job. Have a great
