17U
Roster
6-0 Charlie Doyle, Fort Dodge, St. Edmond
6-4 Michael Demers, St. Mary’s, Storm Lake
6-2 Jake Schaeffer, Kuemper Catholic
6-1 Chase Netusil, Kuemper Catholic
6-0 Dayton Ross, Carroll
6-3 Dakota Jaeschke, Southeast Valley
6-5 Chase Jeurgenson, Paton-Churdan
6-1 Jon Brandt, IKM-Manning
5-11 Caleb Rasmussen, Harlan
Notes: This group will be led by Carroll standout Dayton Ross, who averaged 17 points a game during the high school season. A versatile scoring threat, he should pace a team that should be able to get up-and-down the floor. The duo of Michael Demers and Dakota Jaeschke, a pair of dominant small school players, should hold down the paint for Tryon’s 17U team. Both are capable of scoring from anywhere on the floor, and will be asked to be the primary rebounders for this group.

16U
Roster
6-1 Parker Badding, Kuemper Catholic
6-0 Sam Auen, Kuemper Catholic
5-9 Evan Jacobsen, Creston
6-7 Tucker Flynn, Creston
6-4 Jake Hanson, Harlan
5-10 Evan Wiebers, Denison-Schleswig
5-9 Joe Weber, Boyer Valley
6-2 R.J. Harris, A-H-S-T, Avoca
6-1 Joe Towers, Paton-Churdan
6-2 Jake Berns, Paton-Churdan
6-4 Wade Adcock, Greene County
5-10 Levi Olhausen, East Sac County
6-3 Carson Kruger, Alta-Aurelia
5-9 Cooper Ross, Carroll
6-1 Nate Mertz, Kuemper Catholic
6-4 Colton Liams, Ames
Notes: This group will be led by a group of small, but skilled, guards in Joe Weber and Cooper Ross. That tandem is explosive from behind the arc and can also facilitate for their bigger teammates. Parker Badding is coming off a solid sophomore season with Kuemper and should provide some additional scoring punch on the wing. Tucker Flynn provides some good size on the interior, where he’ll be asked to help hold down the glass. This is a group that will likely look to push the tempo with their guard play.

15U
Roster
6-6 Dakota Rold, Exira-EHK
5-8 Cole Bummeister, Exira-EHK
6-1 Jace Davidson, Pocahontas Area
6-2 Nate Wendl, Kuemper Catholic
6-3 Isaiah Badding, Carroll
6-0 Korbin Lehman, Carroll
5-9 Caden Pedalty, Kuemper Catholic
5-9 Blake Baumhover, Kuemper Catholic
5-9 Justin Schaeffer, Kuemper Catholic
6-2 Bryce Parker, Union, La Porte City
Notes: This 15U group is intriguing, with Dakota Rold patrolling the paint after blocking 61 shots as a freshman. Jace Davidson is an electric scoring guard who should provide the punch on the perimeter alongside a number of somewhat unproven, but talented players from Carroll and Kuemper Catholic.
