The Austin Packers boys basketball team got some more good news after a historic season.

Junior Joe Aase made honorable mention for the Associated Press 2012 All-State team for Minnesota high school boys basketball.

Aase was one of the leading scorers on the team that finished 23-6 overall, won the Big Nine and reached the state tournament for the first time in 30 years.

Aase ended his season on a strong note. He scored 25 points in the Packers’ 71-66 state tournament loss to St. Paul Johnson.

Aase also had nine rebounds and four blocks in the game, and he hit a baseline three, a jumper and two free throws to put Austin ahead 37-35 at the half.
