Waukee NW out of the 5A Class has been disappointing to start this season in a lot of aspects. We saw NW give Johnston a run for their money in the 5A State Playoffs last Winter and they return every player so if you think about it, they should be better this time around but that is not the case. It’s not too late though. If their stars lock in, I still think this is a group that can go all the way. Especially when they have a leader like Romey Croatt Romey Croatt 5'8" | PG/CG Waukee NW | 2027 State IA at their starting PG position. Croatt helped NW bring home an impactful W yesterday by a 5 point margin against a powerhouse program from another state. Croatt finished with a game high 20 points, while also impacting rebounding (11) and assisting (5) through. This performance comes as no surprise. Croatt holds 10+ D1 offers at this time and that list is only going to grow.
