Preseason All-Conference Teams: Pride of Iowa

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: </strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1167690' first='Jaixen' last='Frost'] (Mount Ayr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Frost has established himself as one of the state's elite scoring threats, averaging north of 22 points a game as a junior for the Raiders. They figure to be the best team in the conference this year, and Frost is far and away the most dynamic player in the league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1167690' first='Jaixen' last='Frost'] (Mount Ayr): 22.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.5 steals, 53.3 FG%, 40.3 3P%, 85.3 FT%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high IQ 6-2 combo guard, Frost impacts the game on both ends of the floor with his size and talent. He scores at a highly efficient clip, rebounds well, and gets others involved while protecting the rock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1367457' first='Boston' last='Devault'] (Nodaway Valley): 16.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 3.3 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high-volume scorer who can fill it up from all three levels, Devault is also a major pest on the defensive end, using his quick feet and hands to jump passing lanes or pick ball-handlers clean and turn defense into offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1240108' first='Jack' last='Scrivner'] (Central Decatur): 9.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.1 steals, 2.0 blocks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scrivner is undersized for a traditional big man at 6-2, but he's an impact player on the defensive end, blocking two shots a game and altering several others. He stuffs the stat sheet on both ends of the floor and should have a big senior year following the graduations of several key pieces from last year's team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Gabe Funk (Lenox): 13.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals, 46.3 FG%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Funk was one of the most productive freshmen in the state last year, averaging over 13 points a game and showing that he can score from all three levels. He's an active guard who contributes on the glass in a major way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 Rayce Snyder (Wayne): 14.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wayne won just five games last season but Snyder was a bright spot. A 6-0 wing who can score in bunches, he's also a strong rebounder on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 Seth Hudson (East Union)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Jack Williams (Southeast Warren)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Avery Phillippi (Nodaway Valley)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Samson Adams (Lenox)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Braydon Pierson (Mount Ayr)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Honorable Mentions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Keaton England (Lenox)<br>2025 Sam Seuferer (Southeast Warren)<br>2024 Carter Reed (Lenox)<br>2023 Asher Weed (Bedford)<br>2023 Strait Jacobsen (Wayne)<br>2024 Silas Walston (Bedford)<br>2024 Ryce Reynolds (Mount Ayr)<br>2023 Landon Harvey (Southeast Warren)<br>2023 Gunnar Smith (Central Decatur)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
