Class 4A – Region 5: 2021’s Who Should be Valued by Colleges

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 2021’s who should be valued by colleges. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="164970" first="Samantha" last="Scott"] - North Scott</strong> North Scott’s [player_tooltip player_id="164970" first="Samantha" last="Scott"] finished her junior season with almost a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

She knocked down 53 three-pointers, shooting almost 40 percent from the field and 38 percent from deep.

A 40 percent shooter from the field, Walker also knocked down over 54 percent of her free throw tries. <strong>Keleigh Hall - Keokuk</strong> As she moves into her senior season, Keokuk’s Keleigh Hall has plenty to build off of.

She shot 32 percent from the field for the Chiefs with 14 made triples and was a 70 percent free throw shooter. <strong>Emma Huckabone - Mount Pleasant</strong> Mount Pleasant’s Emma Huckabone will take control of the team this coming year as a returning senior starter.
