The Warriors rolled through this division last year, running up a 12-0 record against divisional foes and the high-scoring Tyon was a big reason why Meskwaki was so successful. A quick and versatile guard who can impact the game on both ends of the floor, he’s a strong three-level scorer for the league’s best team.
First Team
2022 Osceola Tyon Osceola Tyon 6'1" | PG South Tama County | 2022 State IA , Meskwaki Settlement: 16.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 45.9 FG%, 77.8 FT%
The league’s leading returning scorer, Tyon can fill it up from all three levels but is at his best when he’s getting to the rim and using his quickness to impact the game on both ends of the floor.
2022 Gabe Kopriva Gabe Kopriva 5'9" | PG North Tama | 2022 State IA , North Tama: 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.6 steals
A big-time volume scorer who led the Redhawks in steals and can distribute the ball as well, Kopriva could see his scoring output skyrocket this season with a little bit of improved efficiency.
2023 Cody Damman, Baxter: 14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 steals, 76.3 FT%
An athletic wing who can impact the game on both ends of the floor, Damman led the Bolts in scoring and steals, and finished second in assists last season. Damman is also a standout football player.
2023 Luke Huntrods, Collins-Maxwell: 11.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals
Huntrods is small (listed at 5-9), but doesn’t shy away from anyone, pulling down 5.4 rebounds a game, including 2.2 offensive, last season. A secondary ball-handler who finished second on the team in assists last season, he should emerge as the team’s go-to scoring threat following the graduation of Mason Markley.
2024 Lucas Frohwein, Colo-Nesco: 9.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.3 steals
The 6-2 forward led the Royals in scoring and rebounding last season as a freshman. His 5.7 rebounds a game is fifth among division returnees.
