at the guard position, she is willing to do. Throughout their battle against Waukee NW, Olson showed up over and over again. It wasn’t always in the scoring department but more-so everywhere else. She made huge effort plays to retain possessions, she rebounded thoroughly on both ends to keep her team in front in the second half – especially in the 4th quarter, and she was willing to get her hands dirty with loose balls or having to match someone else physicality. In the end, Dowling Catholic moves on and everyone is going to talk about

being their main producer but without Olson, I’m not sure if this game turns out the same way as it did and that says a lot.

“I believe that if Olson was on almost any other Varsity roster, she would be a main producer in several different statistical categories. Olson has a tenacity to her play-style that is note worthy, while also being someone who can control that emotion. She does a lot of good things for her DC team and in the end this season, that’s going to show as they make their way to the 5A State Playoffs in a few months.”

is going to get a little bit more of a chance to step up this winter at Dowling Catholic high school and she is ready for it. Olson, a 5’10 combo guard, has had a nice spring and shown off that she can hold her own on a competitive court consistently. She works well on and off of the ball while making the most of every opportunity she gets. I’m hoping to see her show her confidence the rest of this summer with her Waukee Jam girls basketball team, leading into this winter. If she does that, she is going to bring some interest in the near future moving forward.

is a raising talent in the state of Iowa. Over these next few years I have a feeling that her hard work and dedication is going to prevail, showing that she is a high-volume producer on the basketball court. Olson, a 5’11 small forward, started every game last season for her Dowling Catholic high school team on their way to the state playoff. In that season she showed that she is a player who understands her role while also being able to create for herself when the time comes. It can sometimes be hard to stand out or make a difference when you have two other highly skilled players on your team in

(2026), especially in high school ball when things are played at a much slower pace but Olson did a great job last year making sure that she was known. I expect this weekend that she keeps up some of this production with her Waukee Jam AAU team, showing that she is a special talent on the floor.

Lengthy and athletic forward. Great on ball defender while being able to switch onto a smaller guard or a bigger post player. Solid recovery speed when she gets beat with an act of being a great help-side defender. Offensively well rounded. Better near the hoop but can spread the floor with her athleticism and get to the rim when over-played.
