Gaulden is “truly the best high school rebounder I’ve ever seen play and Southwest has been lucky enough to have her on our team,” Southwest Lakers Coach Dan Froehlich said.

The Lakers play their regular season game at home on Feb. 21 against Cambridge-Isanti at 7 p.m. Gaulden will be honored before the game for her accomplishments.
