2024 Playoffs: Round One Producers (Class 1A)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week kicked off our First Round of the 2024 Playoffs across the state. In the article below, we highlight five players out of the 1A Class that put on a performance in their team's victory. Each prospect made their presence known right from the tip off and because of that, their team is moving onto Round 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["842576"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='842576' first='Gwen' last='Schroeder'] and her Marquette Catholic team won in their First round matchup last week against Clayton Ridge by a final of 58-35. There are several players that I could mention in this win but the most impressive was Schroeder of MC. She ended the game being the top producer with 14 Points (6-14) and 11 Rebounds. As you can tell, this effort was vital in this contest. They did end the game with a large margin of victory but at this point in the season, all efforts are appreciated. Their next matchup won't be so easy though as next they will have to get on the road to matchup against the top rated North Linn Lynx this evening. If the want to compete in this ball game, Marquette is going to have to fight for their lives. They will have their hands full with the Lynx' pressure but if they can use that to their advantage and counter-it, anything could happen. Every game has their favorites going into it but remember, favorites lose every night so as long as they stay positive, they have a chance.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='832204' first='Rylee' last='Mudderman']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Kee","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='832204' first='Rylee' last='Mudderman'] may only be a Freshman but she is already showing off her worth at the Varsity level and I can't wait to see where she takes it from here. Coming into this season, we heard a lot about how good the 2027 Class could be moving forward and I think that Mudderman is in that conversation. As of most recent, in her team's First Round game against Starmont, Mudderman recorded 28 points (12-20), 5 Rebounds, and 7 Steals. Mudderman is the Swiss-army knife of her team at the Guard position. She can score from all three levels, including being a really solid shooter from deep. She can facilitate off of the dribble at a high rate and she is a good teammate, who is always willing to learn from her mistakes. We have said this time and time again but the 2027 Class in Iowa is skilled, smart, and athletic. Three important factors that help make a player, what they are. It's going to be interesting to see how this Class expands over time but at this rate, they all seem to be on a clear path to success.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Lilli Gunderson","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Harris-Lake Park","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Harris-Lake Park has put together a season with an under .500 record but that isn't stopping them from making a statement during this Post-Season. In their First Round matchup against Gehlen High School last week, they ended up winning by a final of 71-54, putting their record at 6-14 and moving them into Round 2 this evening, where they will have to face off against George-Little Rock. In their contest against Gehlen, their standout player was Lilli Gunderson. Gunderson would be described as a 5'8, Combo Guard. Throughout a contest, Gunderson makes smart plays and does good job of making something happen when her offense breaks down. On Tuesday night, she led her team with 15 Points and 8 Rebounds. This doesn't seem like a crazy stat line but it was crucial in their efforts. Without it, this game would have swung the other way and this conversation would be completely different. It's not going to be an easy task tonight against GLR but Harris could win. If they limit their TO's, defend like their lives depend on it, and they adapt quickly. They could sneak by.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Addison Shields","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"North Cedar ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"One of the biggest upsets in Round 1 of the Post-season comes to us from Highland High School. On Tuesday night, the North Cedar Knights went on the road and got a huge victory against Highland High School by a final of 58-54. This was an eye opening game as Highland came into the contest with a 14-6 record, while the Knights were only 4-18 but that didn't stop their best players from stepping up. The leader for the Knights in this one was Guard, Addison Shields. Shields is a 5'6 Guard and a heck of a competitor. She ended this game by leading everyone with 22 Points (9/20), 11 Rebounds, and 4 Assists. Each one of these stats made a difference in this contest and in the end, the Knights won because of it. They still have a long way to go but this was a fantastic way to start off the Playoffs for this group. They will compete against a talented Springville team tonight. If they can come out with this same intensity, I'm sure they are going to have a good shot to make it into Round #3.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='988399' first='Brystal' last='Peck']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Wayne","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Wayne High School has an interesting balance to their attack on both sides of the basketball. They have a group that is very diverse. They have multiple prospects from all different age levels, that have demonstrated this Winter that they can hold their own at any given position. In their most recently contest against Southeast Warren, Freshman - [player_tooltip player_id='988399' first='Brystal' last='Peck'], was the player that stood out the most. She ended up leading her team to victory while recording 15 Points, 5 Rebounds, and 3 Steals. Like I said, this is a group that has an interesting balance. Their u0022staru0022 players are upperclassmen but in reality, their best Freshman are consistently getting better and making a name of themselves, each and every evening. If they want to move onto the next round after their game against Mormon Trail tonight, they are going to have to continue with their balanced attack. If they do that, it's going to be tough for MT to slow them down.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65cbb01d495e6"} /-->
