Whenever you hear about ELC High School and their girl’s basketball program, you hear about their standout Haylee Stokes Haylee Stokes 5’6″ | PG Estherville Lincoln Central | 2025 State IA but another player that does a good job contributing is Rylee Yager Rylee Yager 5’9″ | SF Estherville Lincoln Central | 2025 IA at the Forward position. Yager stands at around 5’9-5’10 with some natural reach. She works hard and she is a someone that is going to consistently put up numbers in some department in a positive matter, every time she steps on the floor. Not to mention, she isn’t the type to need the ball in her hands to produce, which is important. I’m expecting the Midgets to get to the State Tournament again in the next couple of weeks but if they want to win once they get there, Yager will need to be an important piece in that regard. Something she has proven able to do, several times this season already.
Nodaway Valley High School is 12-2 to start the 2023-2024 season and they are looking to build on this momentum over the next three weeks before the State Playoffs begin. The Wolverines are headed by a two-headed monster in Izzy Eisbach Izzy Eisbach 5’9″ | SG Nodaway Valley | 2026 State IA and Lindsey Davis Lindsey Davis 5’8″ | SG Nodaway Valley | 2024 State IA but they also have 2-3 other prospects that contribute each and every night. One of those players, competing at the Guard position is Maddie Weston Maddie Weston 5’3″ | CG Nodaway Valley | 2025 IA . Weston is the definition of a Shooting Guard. When she catches the ball, she is always ready and looking to let it go from behind the three point line. Throughout her team’s 14 games this winter, Weston has 36 total shot attempts with 33 of those coming from deep. In those 33 attempts, she is currently making 30% from the field, while also recording 1 RPG and 1 APG. I’m expecting this team to have a successful rest of their season. If their leaders can learn from their past mistakes and continue to stay confident in their work, they are going to be just fine. Especially when they have players like Weston there to help in support.
Highlights
Vera Grom Vera Grom 5’10” | SF Sioux City West | 2025 IA of Sioux City West High School is a prospect to keep an eye on for the rest of this high school season and moving into the AAU year. Grom is a 5’11 Forward, that moves really well for her size. She moves much more like a guard than anything else but she can also hold her own near the paint. From what I’ve seen, she has a high motor and is a great rebounder because of her knowledge of where the miss is going to fall off of the rim. She isn’t the type of player that is going to bring up the basketball as a Guard, but in the half-court she can step out and shoot the three or catch and take it all the way to the rim for a finish. Grom still has a year and half left before she graduates but afterward, I could see her lacing up with a collegiate program in some facet. She would need to find the correct fit to accompany her play-style but it’s something I could see happening.
Highlights
A prospect out of the Eastern part of the state, that has shown off her potential at a some-what high rate this season is Alivia Carr Alivia Carr SG Bettedorf | 2025 IA of Bettendorf High School. It’s not every single contest but Carr has some games where she leads her team in scoring, while being their dominating presence in the middle of the lane. The best way to describe Carr’s game is physical with a high motor. She works relentlessly for the basketball each possession and is very good at “owning” the space around her. If you ask anyone about the Bettendorf Bulldogs, they will tell you that this program plays hard-nosed defense and they never give up in a contest. They play with a lot of passion and there is no better example of that than Carr. She may not be the loudest vocally in her success but that’s okay because she understands that her game speaks loud than words. With all the injuries and issues this Bulldogs group has gotten through this season, they are on the up and up moving forward with Carr being a major part of that.
