Lydia Keller Lydia Keller 5'7" | SG Clear Creek-Amana | 2029 State IA is a shot taker and a shot maker. She is another hooper at this early age who really plays the game of Basketball the correct way. Keller was a vital piece to CCA High School’s State Run this last season, making but shots from the outside and in the midrange at the drop of a hat. It didn’t matter if she was cold off the bench or scorching hot from deep, when she received open attempts the last four months, she was cash in most instances. This is one of those players that can really full up the bucket while being steady on defense at her position. As long as this Phenom group plays freely this Spring/Summer, she should get several chances to shine down the stretch.

Keller was a vital part this Winter to CCA and their success as a whole. She came onto the Varsity floor and she stepped up right away as a valid third-option on the offensive side of the ball. She made great choices all season long when the ball was in her possession and she made several open shots when those opportunities presented themselves. She hit consistently from the midrange off the bounce and she was deadly from three point range in the corner off the catch. CCA loses most of their production from year’s past this upcoming season so it’s going to be up to Keller and Zella Evans Zella Evans 5'5" | PG/SG Clear Creek-Amana | 2029 IA to take control of the program as Sophomores. A tough task but something that is possible with the type of work that both of those prospects puts in during their off-time so we will have to watch it all play out. As for now though, Keller comes in at #16 in this Update and as the #1 SG out of the 2029 Class at this time.

We didn’t hear Lydia Keller Lydia Keller 5'7" | SG Clear Creek-Amana | 2029 State IA ‘s name called a whole lot last night but we did hear it a few times through as she knocked down a few three pointers off the catch from the corner. Keller is another very good prospect, that is supplementary to everything else around her at this time. Can Keller hit big shots, run PG, and do several other things for the squad? Of course but right now she is playing her role as an underclassmen to a T. She is taking the attempts that come to her natural off of others creation but she also knows how to handle situations and how to get her own offensively if need be. That’s a nice piece to have on any team so I’m sure her role with the program will continue to grow with experience over time.

Lydia Keller Lydia Keller 5'7" | SG Clear Creek-Amana | 2029 State IA has been rock solid this Winter stepping up for CCA when they need her the most. Coming into this season we knew that this CCA crew had two elite producers on and off of the ball but they needed a third to really push them over the top and that third individual in this situation is Keller. Keller is your CG, that keeps it simple. She has a steady dribble that can handle pressure, she moves really well off of the ball, she has a smart head on her shoulders, and she is very good at hitting mid-range jumpers off of any screening action or even off of the dribble. Keller didn’t fall within out Top 25 rankings the first time around because we didn’t know how consistent she would be on the Varsity floor but after seeing her competing the past few months, there is no doubt that she will jump into the Top 25 during our next Update this Spring.

Everyone should be a big fan of Lydia Keller Lydia Keller 5'7" | SG Clear Creek-Amana | 2029 State IA of CCA High School. Keller has been nails to kick off her Freshman year so far. She is playing most of the contests and her team is undefeated up until this point at 7-0 with no close games in reality. Every time I watch the Clipper compete, Keller is putting off another crafty move that somewhat impresses me. She shows a ton of potential for her age and she is only going to get better with experience over her career. I think the reason that she stands out is because of how consistent she is in every aspect on the game. She makes open shots, she can handle and finish against weaker matchups, she can hit several shots from deep in a short amount of time off the catch, and she can defend her own position pretty well during crunch time. Keller will be a Top 25 ranked player in our 2029 Player Rankings Update next week. She just needs to keep working.

Lydia Keller Lydia Keller 5'7" | SG Clear Creek-Amana | 2029 State IA inserted herself into the game early and continued to bring fireworks throughout this matchup. This freshman definitely doesn’t play like one — she’s fundamentally sound and is not afraid of the big moment. Keller’s early three pointers in the first quarter Tuesday night helped CCA establish their early lead, and her defense helped them keep it. I really liked her body positioning on the defensive end — she didn’t reach, beat her opposition to the spot, and forced pickups on the drive. Her smooth shooting, intuitive reads off of screens and textbook defense kept her Clipper squad fired up.
