A South Dakota State commit who dominates the game on both ends of the floor, Te Slaa is an easy pick for the POY honors in this loaded league. He’s the focal point of a Boyden-Hull team that will be looking to add another state title to their trophy case after a disappointing state championship game loss last year.
First Team
2022 Tanner Te Slaa Tanner Te Slaa 6'5" | SF Boyden-Hull | 2022 State IA , Boyden-Hull: 21.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.9 steals, 53.1 FG%, 81.0 FT%
A high IQ 6-5 wing who dominates the game on both ends of the floor with his talent, size, and intelligence, Te Slaa does a great job playing with pace and letting the game come to him.
2022 Lucas Lorenzen Lucas Lorenzen 6'4" | SF Okoboji | 2022 State IA , Okoboji: 23.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 41.8 3P%, 79.1 FT%
Lorenzen played in just 11 games last season, but he has established himself as one of the best pure scoring threats in the state. With his combination of size, strength, and touch, he can fill it up in a hurry from all three levels.
2023 Zach Lutmer Zach Lutmer 6'1" | PG Central Lyon | 2023 IA , Central Lyon: 20.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.2 steals, 58.3 FG%, 45.2 3P%
Also a standout on the gridiron, Lutmer scores in bunches at a highly efficient clip. He can get to the bucket, is a knockdown 3-point shooter and is second among returnees in assists a game.
2022 Vance Katzfey Vance Katzfey 6'3" | SG Spirit Lake | 2022 State IA , Boyden-Hull: 15.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 50.6 FG%
A transfer from Spirit Lake, Katzfey is another athletic wing who can score in bunches. He should take some of the scoring pressure off of Te Slaa this season.
2022 Landyn Van Kekerix Landyn Van Kekerix 5'11" | SG Rock Valley | 2022 State IA , Rock Valley: 16.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.5 steals, 51.0 FG%
An efficient guard who does most of his scoring inside the arc, Van Kekerix led the Rockets in scoring and rebounding last season, while also leading the team in steals. He gets to the rim and finishes through contact at a high level, and uses his athleticism and physicality to compete on the glass on both ends of the floor.
Second Team
2022 Bryson Van Grootheest Bryson Van Grootheest 6'0" | CG Rock Valley | 2022 State IA , Rock Valley
2023 Ayden Klein Ayden Klein 5'11" | SG MOC-Floyd Valley | 2023 State IA , MOC-Floyd Valley
2022 Christian Vietor Christian Vietor 6'1" | SG Sioux Center | 2022 State IA , Sioux Center
2022 Mason Gerleman Mason Gerleman 6'0" | SG Central Lyon | 2022 State IA , Central Lyon
2022 Shane Brouwer Shane Brouwer 6'4" | PF Sheldon | 2022 State IA , Sheldon
