This is what daydreams are made of for many young ballers. The hard work and dedication it takes to even reach this level in the state should be rewarded as they tipoff at 10:00 am. Monday, February 28th in Des Moines, Iowa.
Aaliyah Riley Aaliyah Riley 5'7" | PG Johnston | 2024 State IA – Sophomore – Johnston – Big game with 11 points. The Sophomore showed a lot of upside when she got a chance. 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Johnston had trouble scoring against Dowling’s defense so if Riley and others don’t score more I see an upset coming.
Dawsen Dorsey Dawsen Dorsey 5'10" | PG Davenport Assumption | 2022 State IA – Senior – Davenport Assumption – Aggressive to the hoop style game she can bully ball you to the cup and finish. Hits the three-ball pretty well. Plays with a fierce intensity in her game. Could be a very efficient 2 or 3 in college.
Gracie Schoonhoven Gracie Schoonhoven 5'11" | PF Unity Christian | 2023 State IA – Junior – Unity Christian – Extremely efficient and fundamental skill-driven game. She can catch and shoot or run the team. Very long frame and can post up well. 13 Points, 7 Boards. Controls the game well with her defense and presence. For Unity to go all the way she will have to continue to do it all for Christian.
Haylee Stokes Haylee Stokes 5'6" | PG Estherville Lincoln Central | 2025 State IA – Freshman – Estherville-Lincoln Center – Good touch. D. Euro Game. Aggressive defender. Lefty pick artist. 5 steals and 16 points. She runs ELC’s offense usually and knows when to take it to the cup or make the right pass. Very smooth jumper. The Midgets will need her big play to stay alive without any bigs on the roster with all players being under 6 foot.
Emma Salker Emma Salker 5'11" | PF Sergeant Bluff-Luton | 2022 State IA – Senior – Sergeant Bluff-Luton – Big long guard. Strong game. Rebounder. Versatile player. Hybrid with 11 points and 9 boards.
Brooklyn Meyer Brooklyn Meyer 6'2" | PF West Lyon | 2022 State #74 Nation IA – Senior – West Lyon – One of the most dominant players in our state. Great handles for a big. Very efficient and doesn’t play with the ball or try to do too much. Attacks and rebounds with tenancity. Most dominant player I feel in 3A.
Reagan Barkema Reagan Barkema 6'0" | SF Roland-Story | 2022 State IA – Senior – Roland-Story – Tough big, great shot-blocking ability. Smooth jumper and 3 ball. Her game is very strong and she rebounds well. Could be a good small forward in college with her ball-handling abilities. Always crashing and aggressive.
