Holiday Break Check-In: Top 10 3A Rebounders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1.) 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1484419' first='Alex' last='Manske'] (Algona) - 15.0 rebounds per game</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Only one game of stats have been put in for Algona so far, but Manske was a man possessed in that one game, putting up 15 points and 15 rebounds. A skilled 6-5 big man who can run the floor, shoot it, and finish around the bucket, he's primed to have a huge sophomore season for the Bulldogs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171692' first='Scott' last='Harr'] (Hampton-Dumont-CAL) - 14.8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harr has been putting up huge numbers since he was a freshman, and he's at it again, putting up 18.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals a game before the break. A 6-4 forward with a great feel for the game, he's the type of player that the offense can flow through and he's a dominant rebounder who uses his strength and physicality to outmuscle opposing players for boards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1367449' first='Tyler' last='Voss'] (Spirit Lake) - 13.3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A mobile 6-5 big man who also found himself on the top 10 scorers list, putting up 21.0 points a game, Voss uses his size and length effectively on the defensive end as well, averaging 2.3 steals a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1167688' first='Max' last='Weaton'] (Fairfield) - 12.9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bouncy, athletic 6-6 forward who makes rebounding look easy at times, Weaton is averaging a team-high 18.7 points a game for the Trojans. He uses his springy leaping ability to control the glass on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5.) 2023 Carter Pellett (Atlantic) - 11.9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pellett is one of the rare players who is averaging more rebounds than points (10.4). A 6-4 power forward with good hands, he does a good job making strong contact on his box outs and using his frame to help him control the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='956869' first='Elijah' last='Vos'] (Hoover) - 11.2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vos is one of the pieces of arguably the best one-two punch in 3A basketball ([player_tooltip player_id='956876' first='Chase' last='Henderson']), a versatile 6-5 wing who can score inside and out. He's also one of the few players on this list who is more than capable of pulling down a defensive board and leading the break. He has been really, really good early on for the Huskies, who entered the season as our preseason #1 team in the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1256304' first='Ben' last='Bockman'] (Decorah) - 10.9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-4 Bockman also found himself on the top 10 scorers list, and the Vikings have needed everything he has given them after significant losses to graduation and a major injury to their best returnee. Bockman has been excellent on both ends of the floor, keeping Decorah afloat and showing that he's an intriguing small-school prospect to keep an eye on with his ability to stretch the floor, create for others, and dominate on the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='2284843' first='Briar' last='Klaver'] (Webster City) - 10.8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Klaver is a talented 6-4 wing who can score from all three levels, impact the game on the defensive end, and he has clearly been really strong on the glass, averaging a double-double for the undefeated Lynx. He's one of the rare players on these top 10 rebounders lists that does a majority of his work on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1240104' first='Vince' last='Benetti'] (ADM) - 10.4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On a team filled with perimeter threats, the presence of Benetti has been huge in the painted area on both ends of the floor for the Tigers. He's scoring at a high clip (68.9%), blocking shots (1.3), and controlling the glass, accounting for nearly 35% of the team's total rebounds so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10.) 2024 Keenan Wiley (Charles City) - 10.0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wiley is an athletic 6-5 wing who jumped out this summer when I saw him playing with the Barnstormers Black team, and he has continued that strong play at his new school (transferred from Mason City), averaging 13.3 points and 10.0 rebounds a game while shooting nearly 57% from the floor. He's long, athletic, and has done a really good job using those traits to his advantage on the glass, pulling down nearly five offensive rebounds a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
