Rebecca Aagard Rebecca Aagard 6'2" | PF North Polk | 2025 State IA is in the conversation for the best overall tournament by a North Polk player this last week. Aagard came into each contest and did exactly what was asked of her. A perfect example is in the 4A Championship when she recorded a stat line of 17 points (7-13), 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 turnovers, while also going 3-4 from the charity stripe against CR – Xavier. All 17 points came at the rim either on the roll from a screen or just off of post-up action on the block. On both occasions it was just really efficient action because Aagard kept it simple. It’s also important to note that this is someone who was a menace this past week defensively. She was protecting the lane at high and thorough rates, being something that the opponents had to consistent think about with her reach. Both of those things together combines for a week to remember out of the senior Power Forward.
