McKenzie’s 49 points came in a game at Target Center against Spring Lake Park, who knocked Park Center out of the section playoffs last year.
Her 30.8 points per game trail only two northern players – Roseau’s Katie Borowicz and Duluth Marshall’s Gianna Kneepkens.
McKenzie’s scoring has made her a prime target for college recruting. She got her first offer from the University of Minnesota as a freshman, and the offers have steadily poured in ever since.

She says she wants to hold of on making a college decision until the summer’s AAU season is complete.
McKenzie and her Pirates open the State Tournament against Stillwater on Wednesday.
