Meena Tate Meena Tate 5'11" | SG Iowa City West | 2023 State IA and the Iowa City West Trojans didn’t have the finish they would have liked to their season, falling just short of the state tournament. Nevertheless though, Tate is committed to play for Dartmouth next season and I can’t wait to see how she does. Tate is a solid talent. Good length accompanied with speed and skill. On defense she does a great job of staying down on her defend and working through screens wether it becomes a switch or a hard-hedge situation. She is going to be a player that is smart enough to come into the Dartmouth program and work their tails off to see minutes their freshman year. I think her skill and dedication speak for themselves and always have. This season she really showed that she is a team leader, through it all, win or lose. She is going to be a player that brings great energy at the college level with a positive attitude, someone every coach would love to have in their program.

Tate consistently is the best player on the court when I watch West and that was no different this day. She controls the game on both ends of the court with an efficient offensive game and a tenacious approach to playing defense. She rebounds well for a guard and her length benefits her in multiple areas of the game.

Meena Tate Meena Tate 5'11" | SG Iowa City West | 2023 State IA is an impressive all-around player with a knack for making clutch plays. She’s a dangerous outside shooter that’s willing to drive to the basket when there’s an opening. If the defense collapses on her, she’s excellent at finding open teammates. She’s a vocal leader that keeps her teammates on task.

Meena Tate Meena Tate 5'11" | SG Iowa City West | 2023 State IA has been doing all she can throughout the first two games of her senior year for Iowa City West high school. The college basketball commit is averaging 25 points a game on 42% shooting while also handing out 2 assists per game at the same time. This West team will go as far as Meena can take them as she is their unquestionable leader on the floor. Their offense runs through her while she tried to compete night in and night out. The strategy for other teams will be to take her out of the game and make the other players around her prove that they can compete at the same level without her. If they are able to do that and Tate keeps doing what she is doing, they are going to make a big run at some point this season and will shock a lot of people doing it.
