Minnesota High School Boys Hoops: Blowouts, Breakouts & Big-Time Transfers (Dec 2025)
Share
Minnesota high school boys basketball is delivering drama—and plenty of lopsided scores—this December. With a wave of transfers reshaping rosters across the state, several top programs are flexing their depth and talent, leading to some eye-popping final scores.
Wayzata vs Cretin-Derham Hall: Statement Win
Final: Wayzata 96, Cretin-Derham Hall 66
Wayzata’s offense was electric, showcasing why they’re considered the hottest team in Minnesota right now.
- The Trojans’ depth and pace overwhelmed CDH from start to finish.
- Standout performances included balanced scoring, efficient shooting, and stifling defense.
Totino-Grace Edges Maple Grove in a Thriller
Final: Totino-Grace 78, Maple Grove 76
- Malachi Hill & Dothan Ijadimbola: 43 points combined (Totino-Grace)
- Max Iversen: 26 points (Maple Grove)
- Baboucarr Ann: 20 points (Maple Grove)
- Tian Chatman’s basket with five seconds left sealed the win for the Eagles after a back-and-forth battle.
Lopsided Scores & The Transfer Effect
This season has already featured several blowouts—Wayzata’s 30-point win over CDH, Tartan’s 102-24 rout of St. Paul Harding, Maple Grove’s 84-39 dismantling of St. Paul Como Park, and Cretin-Derham Hall’s own dominant victory over the Stillwater Ponies. The current high school basketball season has been especially lopsided, with powerhouse teams racking up big margins week after week.
Much of this can be traced to a busy offseason, with high-profile transfers boosting the firepower of already strong squads. Players like Deangelo Dungey (now at Totino-Grace) and others have made instant impacts, shifting the balance of power and creating early-season mismatches.
