Player Of The Week – Week 2 (Nov. 27th – Dec. 3rd)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we tip off the girls high school season throughout Iowa, there are going to be a few new articles/evaluations that we publish every week during the season, that we have not done recently in the past. One of those articles being our Player Of The Week. The POTW is an individual that displayed what it means to put on a major performance/s for their perspective squad. A player can win this award for a number of reasons but most importantly because their overall play helped lead their team to a competitive contest.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!&nbsp;</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Player Of The Week:</strong>&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='246134' first='Elise' last='Jaeger'] <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/cora-widel-2/"></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>High School:</strong>&nbsp;Des Moines - Valley </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class:</strong>&nbsp;2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Height / Position:</strong>&nbsp;6'1 / Forward</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stat Line/s</strong>: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>11/28/23 @ Dowling Catholic - 23 Pts (8-12), 13 Rebs, 1 Assist, 2 Steals, 1 Block, 1 Turnover </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>12/1/23 vs Waukee NW - 16 Pts, 12 Rebs, 3 Steals, 3 Blocks</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='246134' first='Elise' last='Jaeger'] and her Des Moines Valley Tigers team, has started off this season with a bang. Not only are they undefeated at 4-0 but two of those four wins have come against top ranking teams in the 5A Class throughout the state in the forms of Dowling Catholic and Waukee Northwest. The reason for their success is way more then just one thing or factor but a huge impact is due to the play of Jaeger. She isn't only eating on both sides of the floor but she is also grabbing right around 10 rebound per game. If you are familiar with Jaeger's game, none of this is news to you. She has great height at 6'1, is athletic, is skilled, and is knowledgeable when it comes to the strategic part of the sport. That's why she is going to flourish this season moving forward and eventually with her UNI Panthers team, once her high school career comes to a close. With the current game-play of this Tigers team and the personal that they possess, it'll be interesting come Playoff time. If they keep on this pace, this is a group we will be seeing in Des Moines, competing for a State Title in 2024. There is just no other way around that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Honorable Mentions: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='342205' first='Jayla' last='Williams'] vs Waukee HS - 11/28/23 - 24 Pts, 8 Rebs, 4 Steals, 4 TO's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='342193' first='Isabella' last='Borgos'] vs Roland-Story HS - 12/1/23 - 27 Pts, 3 Rebs, 2 Assists, 5 Steals, 1 Block, 4 TO's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='592200' first='Hudsyn' last='Ranschau'] vs Spencer HS - 11/28/23 - 33 Pts, 6 Rebs, 5 Assists, 4 Steals, 1 Block, 1 TO's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='314117' first='Brooklyn' last='Love'] vs Dubuque Senior HS - 11/28/23 - 18 Pts, 7 Rebs, 5 Assists, 4 Blocks, 1 TO's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='509632' first='Nakia' last='Ollivierre'] vs Dubuque Senior HS - 11/28/23 - 19 Pts, 6 Rebs, 5 Assists, 4 Steals, 4 TO's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='311354' first='Kelli' last='Storck'] vs Ballard HS - 12/1/23 - 28 Pts, 6 Rebs, 3 Assists, 2 Steals, 4 TO's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='582831' first='Joelle' last='Johnson'] vs Earlham HS - 12/1/23 - 29 Pts, 3 Rebs, 2 Assists, 2 Steals, 5 TO's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
