Iowa Playoff Performers 3A: Recap Week 2

3A has trimmed down from 64 teams fighting for a spot at state to now just 8 left. Many teams I thought had a great chance of making it to Wells Fargo didn’t punch a ticket. With fewer rounds to play than 2A and 3A the teams that made it are strong. Most Have strong upperclassmen leading their squads as most of the young upcoming talent didn’t make it out of their regions. 8 Teams fight for the chance to lift that trophy up and call themselves the best in 3A. <img class="size-medium wp-image-287860 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/Brooklyn-Meyer.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /> Impact Players - [player_tooltip player_id="63568" first="Brooklyn" last="Meyer"] - Senior - West Lyon - Great post player with an effective mid-range jumper.
