Erwin has the ability to be a dominant scorer, but can also take over games without putting the ball in the bucket. The best player on the division's best team.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>First Team</h4> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="682268" first="Zach" last="Erwin"], Camanche: 15.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.3 blocks, 47.8 FG%</strong></p> <p>A 6-4/6-5 wing who stuffs the stat sheet on both ends of the floor, Erwin can dominate games on both ends of the floor with his talent, size, and versatility. He's equally adept at getting to the rim or finding open shooters, and he's a versatile defender as well.</p> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="956879" first="Tate" last="Petersen"], Monticello: 10.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 37.2 3P%, 77.8 FT%</strong></p> <p>Petersen has helped lead the Panthers to back-to-state state tournament appearances, but they'll be entirely his team this year following the graduations of four mainstays. He's a great shooter who has really improved his confidence as a ball-handler, as well as his ability to create his own look. </p> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158506" first="Colby" last="Sieverding"], Bellevue: 16.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.4 steals</strong></p> <p>The league's leading returning scorer, Sieverding is capable of dropping 25 points on any given night for the Comets. He's also a dynamic player on the defensive end with his ability to jump passing lanes.</p> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="682294" first="Sam" last="Wilt"], Anamosa: 12.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3.2 steals, 2.0 blocks</strong></p> <p>Similar to Erwin, Wilt is a versatile threat on both ends of the floor. He stuffs the stat sheet, defends multiple positions, and is a talented passer who sees the floor really well from his wing spot.</p> <p><strong>2022 Cade Hughes, Northeast: 10.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals</strong></p> <p>The Rebels' top returning scorer, Hughes' 33 made 3-pointers last season rank fourth among returnees in the division. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Second Team</h4> <p>2022 Tadan Lange, North Cedar</p> <p>2022 Carter Pataska, Northeast</p> <p>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167714" first="Zane" last="Witt"], Camanche</p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962661" first="Mike" last="Delzell"], Camanche</p> <p>2024 [player_tooltip player_id="1171677" first="Preston" last="Ries"], Monticello</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Honorable Mentions</h4> <p>2022 Graham Humpal, Anamosa<br /> 2022 Cole Heim, Bellevue<br /> 2023 Cole McDermott, Cascade<br /> 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158491" first="Adam" last="Dunlap"], Camanche<br /> 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1234975" first="Tucker" last="Dickherber"], Camanche<br /> 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962685" first="Jake" last="Jess"], Anamosa</p>
