It was announced earlier this week that Lynx point guard Lindsay Whalen was a finalist for the Minnesota Basketball Hall of Fame.

This is the first-ever finalist class.

Via the Star Tribune, here are the first 14 honorees: The 1960 Edgerton boys’ basketball team; Chisholm coach Bob McDonald; Jim McIntyre, Mpls. Henry, 1945; Ron Johnson, New Prague, 1956; Mark Olberding, Melrose, 1974; Kevin McHale, Hibbing, 1976; Randy Breuer, Lake City, 1979; Khalid El-Amin, Minneapolis North, 1997; the 1929-39 Grand Meadow girls’ team; girls’ sports advocate Dorothy McIntyre; Rochester Loudes coach Myron Glass; Faith Johnson Patterson, Marshall University, 1980; Janet Karvonen-Montgomery, New York Mills, 1980 and Lindsay Whalen, Hutchinson, 2000.

The honor is for high school performance and a player is eligible 10 years after graduation.

In her high school career at Hutchinson, Whalen was a four-time All-Minnesota Conference Pick and was a four-time honorable mention All-State Selection.

Honored to be in the inaugural Minnesota High School Basketball Hall of Fame class. Even better to be mentioned with some of my idols growing up. Janet Karvonen, Khalid El-Amin and Kevin McHale to name a few!! Cant wait for March 26th!
