Mallie Stoner Mallie Stoner 5'11" | CG Carlisle | 2026 State IA was named 4A All State Tournament Team by the IGHSAU last week because of how well she did for Carlisle throughout. Stoner was a mismatch for every team that they faced. Her size at 5’11/6’0 and her ability to move all over the court confused defenses. That helped the Wildcats run some smooth sets and offenses to get simple buckets both within the half court and in transition. There are a handful of players from the Carlisle team that you could name from this season for putting together a memorable Winter as a whole but I think the moral of the story here is that this was a team effort. Everyone thought they just had to worry about the Wildcat’s D1 commit and that was the furthest thing from the truth. Opposing teams sagged off of everyone else and dared them to make plays, which they did and because of that, they get the last laugh in the end.

Carlisle was the star studded group this past week in a lot of regards. They started the week as being a program that everyone wrote off and by the end, they were unstoppable and destroying everyone in their way by large margins, in games that were never really close. Someone that stepped up big time for this team was 2026 – Mallie Stoner Mallie Stoner 5'11" | CG Carlisle | 2026 State IA . Stones is another one that was a mismatch nightmare. Teams just didn’t know what to do with her. In the first contest against CCA, they under played her and she made them play in little ways here and there. To follow, she was nails against another else that was put in her way because she made the open shots, she converted hard baskets when team’s contested well, and she didn’t take plays off on defense either. Carlisle will forever remember this group of ladies. They left it all on the floor this season and now they get to reap the benefits because of it as State Champions.
