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 5A 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="13957" first="Hannah" last="Stuelke"] (Cedar Rapids Washington HS)</strong></span></p>
Any of the five players on the First Team can be heavily considered for the 5A Preseason Player of the Year, but I am going with the Iowa commit [player_tooltip player_id="13957" first="Hannah" last="Stuelke"]. Stuelke scored 22.4 points per game last year and grabbed 12.2 rebounds per game. She only turned the ball over 1.3 times a game and is super efficient on the floor. Look for a big senior year from her at Cedar Rapids Washington.
