I’m not sure that Kelsey Leather’s commitment to St. Ambrose is super recent but we just found out about it at her signing so we will play it off like it is. Leathers is a lengthy Forward, that likes to sit around the painted area looking for rebounds and other opportunities. This past Winter, CCA really lived off of their guard play in Averie Lower Averie Lower 6'0" | SG/CG Clear Creek-Amana | 2026 State #65 Nation IA and Lena Evans Lena Evans 5'8" | SG Clear Creek-Amana | 2026 State IA but one of their post’s that did put up some quality numbers was Leathers. This is the type of prospect that could turn into a nice product at the next level if she works on her weaknesses moving forward. She has a smart head on her shoulders, good vision in the half court, she isn’t afraid of contact, and she is versatile in moving around from spot-to-spot somewhat. Who knows what she might put together with the right guidance over the next couple of years.

There is going to be a lot of opportunity at Clear Creek Amana High School from the Clippers after coming off of a State Title a year ago. The Clips graduated a good amount of their Varsity production but they also played a solid rotation during their run last season. Meaning that they will return a good amount of prospects, who could step into a starting role if need be. One of their Forwards, who could get more of a shot is Kelsey Leathers Kelsey Leathers SF Clear Creek-Amana | 2025 IA . Leathers isn’t going to kill you with 30 a game but she is going to hold her own and put up better numbers than most if she were to play a whole contest. I’m not sure where she will fall within her team’s rotation but there is going to be some opportunity there so it’ll be interesting to see who seizes those chances.
