You can’t deny production. Plain and simple. Claire Lueken Claire Lueken 6'0" | SF Wahlert Catholic | 2025 State IA is a producer whenever she takes the floor, in high school or AAU. As of most recent, Lueken put on a clinic in her team’s Semi-final contest. She started things off by scoring her team’s first 9 points to take the lead, then she kept chipping in from there. She was mainly holding it down on the block and in the post as no one could match her. It really took multiple defenders efforts to get her to pass the ball out but by then, her teammates had wide open looks in which they made a majority of.

Every year that I have covered the state of Iowa, Wahlert Catholic has been a State contender or at least in the conversation to get there. A big reason for their success is their senior SF, Claire Lueken Claire Lueken 6'0" | SF Wahlert Catholic | 2025 State IA . Lueken is averaging 21 PPG, 7 RPG, and 4 APG this Winter as her team comes into this one at 19-4. The advantage that WC will have is Lueken in the Post. In their first contest, the opposing team – Spirit Lake, will have their best prospect at the PG position so it’ll be intriguing how both of these coaching staffs play it out. No matter what though, I expect Lueken to be a major factor and presence throughout the rest of her high school career next week. Most haven’t had answers for her and I don’t think that starts now.

Their most recent prospect to commit is their Forward, Claire Lueken Claire Lueken 6'0" | SF Wahlert Catholic | 2025 State IA of Wahlert Catholic. Wahlert Catholic is solid every season and the past few years the reason because for that is partly due to the production of Lueken for them near the block. The past three Varsity seasons, she has made an impact with her team’s and I expect more of that to finish off her high school career the next eight months. With being committed now, she has a lot of pressure off of her so now she can loosen up and just make some things happen, hopefully leading them to a big Playoff run before things come to a close.

Claire Lueken Claire Lueken 6'0" | SF Wahlert Catholic | 2025 State IA has been of interest to recruiters at the next level in a few different forms. Lueken competes with Whalert Catholic High School and Team Iowa for the AAU season during the travel portion of the year. She competes at better than average size at 6’0, she can be moved and thorough in the paint or she can move out and play from the outside at an efficient rate as well if need be. She is more of an enforcer type at 6’0 but she is agile so when you combined those together, you get someone that is easily coachable and someone who could make some waves at the collegiate level.

This AAU season Claire Lueken Claire Lueken 6'0" | SF Wahlert Catholic | 2025 State IA is competing with her Iowa Dream 2025 team and they are did really well this past few months for the Spring season. This comes to no surprise. Prior to this year we said that every prospect on this team might get a shot to compete at the collegiate level before their basketball careers come to a close and that’s looking like what is going to unfold for the most part. This past week Lueken took a visit and got an offer to McKendree University to play following her high school career. This may be her first big time offer but I don’t imagine that it’s going to be her last. She is someone with better than average size and a physical demeanor to pair with it while being calculated. I’m sure that she will have more suitors before everything is said and done over these next few months of AAU ball.
