[player_tooltip player_id="211397" first="Natalie" last="Decoteau"] - St. John - (5’10/CG/2023) - Natalie is a double-double machine. This year she averaged a whopping 16.8 points and astounding 15.3 rebounds per game. She can playback to the basket or straight up with anyone in the low post. She has above-average footwork for help-side defense and quick hands for steals. On the defensive end, she wreaked havoc getting 4.3 steals and 2.4 blocks per contest. Kimberly Tabarez - Westhope/Newburg - (5’3/PG/2024) - Kimberly is a pure bucket. She averaged 15.3 points per game this year and dropped a career-high of 35 against Drake/Anamoose. She shot the ball rather sluggish at 40% but plenty of room to grow as she becomes only a sophomore next year. [player_tooltip player_id="252465" first="Kalyn" last="Keller"] - Harvey/Wells County - (5’7/SF/2022) - Kalyne is a girl to really watch out for this year. In her final season at Harvey/Wells, she’ll look to put up some big-time numbers. She came off a junior year campaign averaging 11.6 points and 6.3 rebounds a game. She’s a real workhorse that crashes boards hard and seems to be in the right place at the right time. If she can develop a consistent 15-17 ft jumper she can be a real problem to deal with on the court. [player_tooltip player_id="245128" first="Olivia" last="Passa"] - Velva - (5’8/SG/2023) - Olivia comes off a really solid season with Velva high averaging 11 points and 5.4 rebounds a game. She has good court awareness on the defensive end and always disrupts the passing lanes snagging 3.5 steals a contest. I anticipate her Junior year to be the best year so far as she’s presumed to be looked as one of the main scorers this year for the Aggies. Emma Muggli - Oakes - (6’0/PF/2023) - Muggli put up some big numbers towards the end of the Tornadoes season dropping 20 points in a loss to Linton/HMB. Muggli and the Tornadoes look to build off last year’s success in establishing her and [player_tooltip player_id="100453" first="Laikyn" last="Roney"] as their twin-headed duo for this coming year. Muggli finished her sophomore campaign averaging 10.3 points and 6 rebounds a game.
