Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!
When we are speaking about players that have natural size, strength, coordination, touch, and knowledge of the game, Karrington Asp Karrington Asp 6’2″ | PF Western Dubuque | 2025 State IA of Western Dubuque High School is one of the best out of the 2025 Class throughout the State of Iowa. Asp is a competitive Forward/Post, that is going to be productive in more ways than one once she graduated and suits up with her future North Dakota State Bison’s program. Asps’s best ability is her skill next to the basket. On both sides of the floor, she is difference maker because of her size and discipline. At the next level, if her team’s offense can get her set in positions to be successful, she will have one heck of a collegiate career. She works hard and never takes plays off, when you combined that with everything else that I’m talking about, you start to see why Asp was offered so early on in her high school career. I’m not sure if she would have had other big time offers like this but I’m sure that doesn’t matter. What matters is that she is committed and ready to work.
Savannah Gage Savannah Gage 5’10” | SG Ankeny | 2025 State IA is coming off of a season ending injury last year but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t ready to go. This is an interesting situation. When someone has a leg injury like Gage. a lot of factors come into play. How they look after surgery, how they move after surgery, how their recovery will go, all of these things matter when looking toward someone’s future on the hardwood. In Gage’s case, she came back this Winter and looked pretty good. She doesn’t have a hitch in her step and she is still being a player that is going to be able to produce when she see’s the floor. I do think that over the next year, before she reaches college, Gage will have to expand her game to make up for her lack of quickness. It’s not that she is slow, it’s that she doesn’t want to re-injure herself in anyway so she is going to have to become a little more crafty if she wants to see the floor with the Tommies. Is it possible? Oh yeah, most definitely. Will she make it happen? She has the heart and is dedicated enough but that is still to be determined. At the high school level, she is going to continue to kill it prior to graduation but after that, that’s when the real work begins.
Highlights
Ankeny Centennial put together a season that they should be proud of. They beat some of the best teams throughout the state of Iowa, no matter what Class they were in. In their team’s success, a player that their entire offense ran through was Point Guard, Mya Crawford Mya Crawford 5’7″ | SG Ankeny Centennial | 2025 State IA . Crawford is an athlete, that competes with her emotion on her sleeve. She moves effortlessly with the ball in her hands but she is also able to produce at the 2-guard spot as well. There is no doubt that her best ability is with the basketball, coming down the floor. More times than not, she is leading her teammates by example and doing it with ease, putting up major stat lines over her entire high school career for the most part. It’s not going to be easy to come into a program like Drake and see the floor right away but I do think that Crawford can bring some positives to this team. If she worries about her own job and plays with a chip on her shoulder, she is going to thrive and that goes for anyone in this type of situation.
I have had the opportunity to watch Haylee Stokes Haylee Stokes 5’6″ | PG Estherville Lincoln Central | 2025 State IA for a few years now and I’m curious as to how she is going to fit into the system at D2 – Minnesota State, when her high school career comes to an end. Stokes is an elite scorer. There is absolutely no doubt about that. She can score from all three levels at any given moment, in almost every way fathomable. Other than that, how is she going to do? That’s my question for Stokes. I think that she is going to be successful in anything she puts her mind to but that is a question that I think about a majority of the time when I think about Stokes. She will be competing in debatably the best D2 conference in the country. If she can score at that level, like she has been able to these past few years, while defending with everything she has, then the sky is the limit.
The Waukee Warriors surprised a lot of people this past Winter season because of their production. They compete against some of the toughest teams throughout the States and for the most part, they held their own and showed that they are going to be a program on the up and up moving forward. The Warriors have several players with collegiate level talent, one of their most important being Point Guard, Emilie Sorensen Emilie Sorensen 5’9″ | SG Waukee | 2025 State IA . Sorensen has speed, a swift handle, and the ability to score or distribute at a high rate. Defensively, she has quick hands and an act for getting several tips/deflections throughout a ball game. After her high school career, Sorensen is going to be take her talents to Illinois to join up with the Northern Illinois Huskies in attempts of putting together a rememberable college career. Something that is more then possible. I have a feeling that she is going to thrive in the Huskers fast paced offense. We will have to wait and see but I’m sure she wants to have a fantastic Senior season, before any of this unfolds.
