Another one of the state's best teams found out how difficult it can be to play without its leader.

No. 18 Minnehaha Academy (14-7) has dropped three consecutive games, all to other rated teams in the Minnesota Star Tribune's Top 25 girls' basketball rankings. The last two setbacks were without leading scorer Addi Mack, a senior guard who missed losses to No. 5 Crosby-Ironton 85-65 and No. 23 Lakeville North 75-48 because of illness.

The Maryland signee is averaging 33.6 points per game. Earlier this season she eclipsed 4,000 career points and is the state's second-leading scorer behind Braham's Rebekah Dahlman mark of 5,060.

That 4,000-point plateau was reached by the top two juniors in the state, Maddyn Greenway of No. 1 Providence Academy (21-0) and Tori Oehrlein of Crosby-Ironton (21-0), this past week. They are both averaging over 31 points per game. Greenway has committed to Kentucky while Oehrlein is a future Gopher.

Maple Grove senior standout Jordan Ode reached the 2,000-point milestone last week. The Michigan State signee is averaging 24.2 points per game for the No. 2 Crimson (19-2).
