Lehla Gaulden
Minneapolis Southwest • girls basketball
The 5-foot-11 senior has impressed her coach this season.
"Lehla's ability to go get rebounds is simply incredible," coach Dan Froehlich said. "She's been over 20 rebounds in several games and had 32 in one game. She has great hands, strength and athleticism, but more than anything, rebounding is about desire and hard work. She is fun to watch."
In the Lakers' 62-28 victory over Minneapolis Roosevelt on Tuesday, Gaulden grabbed 22 rebounds, breaking the school record of 732 in a career.
"She did it in essentially just two years of varsity play," Froehlich said.
Gaulden is averaging 17.2 rebounds per game this season. Her 431 rebounds this season broke the program's single-season record, which she set last season. Her average and total rebounds both rank second in the state.
She is second on the team in scoring, averaging 11.2 points per game.
