Class 3A – Region 3: 2022’s who can Breakout

As we look for other ways to cover prospects we thought it would be beneficial to cover players in a way that allows us to cover those we don’t write much about. We will be using the region’s from last season as they were constructed. Obviously, these regions will change into next season but for these stories it was the easiest way to divide players and teams as equally as possible. We will be writing a series of three stories for each region in the state and the categories are as follows: 2023’s to put on Your Radar, 2022’s who can Breakout, and 2021’s Who Should be Valued by Colleges. We will continue to go through each region and aim to hit as many players as we can that we haven’t talked about previously. Here are five 2022’s who could be primed for big seasons. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="63571" first="Reagan" last="Barkema"] - Roland-Story</strong> A true scoring threat, Class of 2022’s [player_tooltip player_id="63571" first="Reagan" last="Barkema"] of Roland-Story led the team to 19 wins and a regional runner-up this past winter. Barkema averaged 14 points per game, shooting almost 47 percent from the field, 40 percent from the three-point line and 87 percent from the free throw stripe. She finished with 323 total points for the Norsemen. Along with her scoring, Barkema also had 103 rebounds, 38 steals, 26 assists and blocked 18 shots. She made 61 three-pointers. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="129041" first="Amanda" last="Treptow"] - Jesup</strong> Battling [player_tooltip player_id="63571" first="Reagan" last="Barkema"] for top honors in this region for sophomores last year was [player_tooltip player_id="129041" first="Amanda" last="Treptow"], as she helped lead Jesup to the Class 3A state tournament. The J-Hawks went 20-5 as Treptow led the team in scoring at 12.5 points per game. She shot over 30 percent from both the field and from deep, finishing with 312 total points.

Habben also had 140 points with 31 blocks, 23 assists and 19 steals. In 23 games for Greene County, Habben shot 33 percent from the field and made 20 of her 38 free throw attempts. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="163353" first="Reece" last="Johnson"] - Roland-Story</strong> Along with [player_tooltip player_id="63571" first="Reagan" last="Barkema"], sophomore [player_tooltip player_id="163353" first="Reece" last="Johnson"] gives Roland-Story a solid nucleus to build around.
