A freshman receiving meaningful minutes in a near upset of a Top 10 opponent on the road should grab your attention. That’s what Axeen was doing when we watched her against Iowa City High in late January. Poise and advanced skill stood out when scouting Axeen. Her keen understanding of the game plan and commitment to executing it made her a valuable asset in the Lions being able to utilize a deeper rotation in a physical affair. Axeen held up well against it on both ends of the court, strong with the ball in her hands and in defending on the ball. She moves well laterally and quickness also leads to success. It looks like Axeen has the potential and capabilities for an ever-expanded role for a young Linn-Mar team with a bright future.
