Versatility is the name of Erwin’s game, and that’s a big reason why Camanche is so successful. 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.
First Team
2022 Zach Erwin Zach Erwin 6'6" | SF Camanche | 2022 State IA , Camanche: 15.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.3 blocks, 47.8 FG%
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.
2023 Tate Petersen Tate Petersen 6'1" | PG Monticello | 2023 State IA , Monticello: 10.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 37.2 3P%, 77.8 FT%
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.
2022 Colby Sieverding Colby Sieverding 5'9" | PG Bellevue | 2022 State IA , Bellevue: 16.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.4 steals
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.
2022 Sam Wilt Sam Wilt 6'2" | SF Anamosa | 2022 State IA , Anamosa: 12.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3.2 steals, 2.0 blocks
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.
2022 Cade Hughes, Northeast: 10.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals
The Rebels’ top returning scorer, Hughes’ 33 made 3-pointers last season rank fourth among returnees in the division.
