Anders Lee is Gatorade Player of the Year

Edina quarterback Anders Lee was selected as Minnesota's Gatorade Player of the Year. The senior, who is also a star on the Hornets hockey team, rushed for 1,105 yards and scored 32 touchdowns. He passed for 2,007 yards and five touchdowns, while averaging 308.7 yards of offense per game. This is the first in three years that a Cretin-Derham Hall player didn't win the honor. Michael Floyd, now at Notre Dame, won in 2007 and 2006. Matt Carufel, now a Gopher, won in 2005. Lee was also named Metro Player of the Year and is a candidate for the Minnesota Mr. Football award, which will be announced Dec. 14 at the Doubletree Hotel in St. Louis Park.
