Stepping Into Success

In this piece we cover five players out of the state of Iowa, that will all be "stepping into success" this upcoming Winter for their Varsity programs. Each player has demonstrated promise in the past but this time around, they should be making big strides compared to last season.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='1057734' first='Grace' last='Mullihan'], the twin sister of Bailey, is another player for Denver High School that everyone needs to keep an eye on going into this season. Last Winter as Sophomores, the Mullihan sisters put up some similar numbers but at different positions. Grace was more of the an inside presence for the team compared to Bailey, who would step out to shoot three pointers at rare times. As long as these two come back hungry and motivated, they should be a pair we continue to talk about moving into the future.     Hagedorn is new to our PGH system but after the season she just put together last Winter, that has changed. Hagedorn is an Iowa State Softball commit, a rebounding force in the middle, and someone that has some power behind everything she does. This power comes from her consistently low base and ability to drive through her opponent with her legs. ADM has other college committed prospects so Hagedorn isn't their main option but she is a viable one. For her Junior season she is going to try and control the paint as their tyrant down-low. A task I'm sure she is prepared for.     Maquoketa High School has been on the up and up the past couple of season because of the prospects that they have on roster. Someone for this group that flys more under the radar in sense is PG - [player_tooltip player_id='1057726' first='Justice' last='Armbruster']. Armbruster comes in and plays her role, she listens to the coaching advice occurring in real time, and she is willing to help other those around her at an extreme rate. This program returns their past roster so the minutes shouldn't really change but I still think that this is someone who could make a consistent impact the next six months. Armbruster is going to be tasked with stepping up when others are doubled or even tripled. If she can take advantage of those moments, she is going to shine and so will the play making ability of the entire team.     [player_tooltip player_id='311362' first='Adasyn' last='Lamb'] of Belmond-Klemme High School has been a star for her Varsity program every time she has taken the floor over her career up until this point. Lamb is a long and athletic Forward, that moves well for her size. She is a stable competitor, that understands what it means to give it her all every time she plays. Offensively, she thrives off of the ball but is dominant on the catch within the perimeter. Defensively, she gets stops and makes big plays in meaningful moments. This Winter Lamb will be tasked with taking her game and ultimately their program, to the next level. She has been noteworthy up until this point but we will see where she can take it from here.     The Western Dubuque Bobcats are a team that has played off of the ability of their D1 committed Post in the recent past, so others around her tend to get overshadowed. Someone that I would be referring to is another Forward they have on roster in [player_tooltip player_id='788578' first='Kaitlyn' last='Thole']. Thole is a 5'10 SF, that plays of the style of those around her. She is someone that is willing to move around the floor and make the best of what is going on around her, which is really all that you can ask for from a coaching perspective. Thole is going to get you some positive stats each night, without hurting you too much in your overall game plan and that is going to help her stick on the floor in major minutes this Winter.
