As we near the start of the regular season, Prep Girls Hoops Iowa will now be releasing Preseason All-State teams. These selections are made based on their expected impact this season and will not include any incoming freshmen. We will release statewide All-State teams encompassing all classes as well this coming Friday afternoon.
Here are the First, Second, and Third Team Prep Girls Hoops Iowa All-State selections as well as the Class 1A Preseason Player of the Year pick.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id="63019" first="Audi" last="Crooks"] (Bishop Garrigan HS)</strong></span></p>
This is a pretty easy pick for the 1A Preseason Player of the Year. Crooks averaged 20.7 points per game last year and added in 10.6 rebounds per game. She may be the best player in the state regardless of class and is gearing up for another monster year at Bishop Garrigan.
