Savannah Gage Savannah Gage 5'10" | CG Ankeny | 2025 State IA is one of four players coming out of the State of Iowa to compete with this ETG Midwest Elite program and I think she is going to like her decision. Gage is coming off of a high school season that was impressive. She was returning from injury and seemed to not miss a beat. Gage is a University of St. Thomas (D1) commit and I’m excited to see how that goes. She is going to be a prospect that comes in at the guard position, with some swagger and knowledge of the game. She can handle, facilitate, and score at a high rate. All while being a stout defender. Seeing the floor in a capacity with this team is impressive so any time that she gets on the floor, she is going to make the most out of her opportunities. That’s for sure.

Savannah Gage Savannah Gage 5'10" | CG Ankeny | 2025 State IA is coming off of a season ending injury last year but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t ready to go. This is an interesting situation. When someone has a leg injury like Gage. a lot of factors come into play. How they look after surgery, how they move after surgery, how their recovery will go, all of these things matter when looking toward someone’s future on the hardwood. In Gage’s case, she came back this Winter and looked pretty good. She doesn’t have a hitch in her step and she is still being a player that is going to be able to produce when she see’s the floor. I do think that over the next year, before she reaches college, Gage will have to expand her game to make up for her lack of quickness. It’s not that she is slow, it’s that she doesn’t want to re-injure herself in anyway so she is going to have to become a little more crafty if she wants to see the floor with the Tommies. Is it possible? Oh yeah, most definitely. Will she make it happen? She has the heart and is dedicated enough but that is still to be determined. At the high school level, she is going to continue to kill it prior to graduation but after that, that’s when the real work begins.

Another big time scoring guard for this group. Can fill it up in bunch offensively while having quick hands and feet, creating a lot of steals and deflections on the defensive side of the ball. Solid athleticism. Type of player who can make it “her” game in the blink of an eye. Difference Maker in every sense of the word.

Savannah Gage Savannah Gage 5'10" | CG Ankeny | 2025 State IA may not be the #1 skilled player on her Ankeny Hawks team, but she has made a good name for herself thus far this season. She is having the type of season that is going to get her name noticed in the long run. Gage is currently averaging a team high 16.8 PPG, 4.6 RPG, and 1.7 APG. A pretty nice stat line if I do say so myself. On the way to averaging these numbers she has led her team to an overall .500 record at 8-8, recording some quality wins VS #1 Dallas Center-Grimes and Waukee. On the other end of things when we speak about their losses we first need to mention how competitive the games in which they have lost are. They have fallen too short to some top ranking quality programs by slim margins. As slim as 1 or 2 points on a consistent basis. Thus far Gage has been the main offensive weapon for this team from the guard position and overall in general through their first 16 games. If she can keep up this production as time proceeds forward I would be shocked if she didn’t receive some high interest from some good college programs out there. She has all the tools currently to show off that she can be a college asset but after another 2.5 seasons of hard-work, the sky will be the limit.
