Preseason All-Conference: Lakes

<h2>Preseason Player of the year</h2><p><strong>Ryan Kriener, Spirit Lake, 2016: </strong>In a conference where the preseason all-conference reads more like an all-state list, Kriener will lead the way. The 6-foot-9 Iowa-commit was already established as post presence, but perfected his 3-point shot this offseason while running with AAU national champions Martin Brothers 17U. He will be near-impossible to contain, and along with Billy Brown, could lead the Indians to a state title. </p> <h2>First Team</h2><p><strong>Ryan Kriener, Spirit Lake, 2016: </strong>19.8 ppg, 71 FG%, 8.5 rpg</p> <p><strong>Josh VanLingen, Western Christian, 2016: </strong>19 ppg, 60 FG%, 2.4 bpg, 12.8 rpg</p> <p><strong>Billy Brown, Spirit Lake, 2016: </strong>13.8 ppg, 40 3FG%, 4.8 apg, 2.1 spg, 4.5 rpg</p> <p><strong>Trent Hilbrands, LeMars, 2017: </strong>11.1 ppg, 43 3FG%, 3 apg, 3.4 rpg</p> <p><strong>Jake Kluender, Spencer, 2016: </strong>15.5 ppg, 51 FG%, 8.7 rpg</p> <h2>Second Team</h2><p><strong>Preston Funderburg, Spencer, 2016: </strong>13.1 ppg, 45 3FG%, 82 FT%, 3.7 rpg</p> <p><strong>Blake Illg, Spencer, 2016: </strong>13 ppg, 52 FG%, 3.6 apg, 3 rpg</p> <p><strong>Parker Lange, Storm Lake, 2017: </strong>17.5 ppg, 42 3FG%</p> <p><strong>Taylor Meidema, Western Christian, 2016: </strong>12.7 ppg</p> <p><strong>Ben Gesink, Western Christian, 2017: </strong>10.8 ppg, 51 FG%, 3.8 apg, 2 spg, 3.2 rpg</p> <h2>Honorable Mention</h2><p><strong>Thomas Schultes, Emmetsburg, 2017</strong></p> <p><strong>Tyler Faist, Cherokee Washington, 2016</strong></p> <p><strong>Joshua Werge, Storm Lake, 2017</strong></p> <p><strong>Trey Valentine, Cherokee Washington, 2017</strong></p> <p><strong>Jesse Jansma, Western Christian 2017</strong></p> <p><strong>Kyle DeVary, Estherville Lincoln Central, 2016</strong></p>
