Continue ReadingCoach Donnie Dobbs has a very talented group of girls who are getting a lot of D1 and D2 looks already. The team is extremely athletic and interchangeable. They look to lock you up with their pressure defense and get turnovers. Shooters all around so you can’t cheat. I really like the way this team flies around and plays hard. Lots of tough mismatches all around. Look for them to do some damage this summer.
Emma Slings Emma Slings 5'9" | PG Jefferson | 2023 State IA – Emma has a swagger to her game that I feel is unmatched on the court. She’s long and extremely athletic. Her footwork and two-step game is so deadly when she gets to the rims she finishes with ease and grace. Can score on you at every level. She’s so much fun to watch with her shimmy and shake hesitation game it puts girls on their heels.

Kaliyah Sain Kaliyah Sain 5'10" | SF Cedar Rapids Kennedy | 2023 State IA – Traditional post-up game that is tough to guard. She passes like magic with her size and court vision. Sain Can really play all the positions. I see a lot of high-level college basketball in her future. Deadly three-point shooter with a ton of length and athleticism. Look for her to light up the rims this summer when teams try to cheat.

Keiko Ono-Fullard Keiko Ono-Fullard 5'3" | PG Iowa City Liberty | 2023 State IA -One of the toughest rebounding guards in the state. She plays hard and runs the team very well. The strong aggressive guard uses her tenacity on defense to get turnovers and really plays the game well with pace.Highlights at https://www.hudl.com/profile/13930191/Keiko-OnoFullard/about
Jenna Twedt Jenna Twedt 5'8" | SG Benton | 2023 State IA – Jenna really impressed me with her play at the state tournament. She fought so hard and kept her team close with her aggressive defense. She gets so many steals with her length and has great anticipation skills. She can take the ball the length of the court and score with ease. Rebounds at a very high clip and just makes your team better all around. She really plays the game hard and would be an effective small forward at the next level.

Aaliyah Beier Aaliyah Beier 5'6" | SG Cedar Rapids-Xavier | 2023 State IA -This girl also has a swagger on the court I just love. Aaliyah is flat-out a shooter. Very smart and effective player who doesn’t have to use the dribble much to get her shot off. Her catch-and-shoot game is laser locked, if you leave her open your done. Very capable ball-handler as well and just smart and fun to watch.

Emma Donavan – Emma is a new addition to this group. I haven’t had the chance to see her play yet so I’m excited to see her talent and what she can bring to the team.
Carolyn Pierce Carolyn Pierce 5'7" | SG Iowa City West | 2023 State IA – Knockdown shooter with great length as well. Very aggressive to the rim game keeps her open. Pierce knows how to fill the spots and light them up. Doesn’t try to do much with the ball and is a great defender. Highlights at https://www.hudl.com/profile/12883781/Carolyn-Pierce/about
Lauren Golinghorst -Lauren is an anchor post player with amazing footwork. She posts hard the whole game. Defensively she’s a great rim protector and rebounds so well. Uses her hips well to get position. Golinghorst has great size and aggressiveness that will get her to the next level for sure as a forward one day.
