The Tigers are far-and-away the best team in the CIML, which is saying something given the yearly competition in the league. Stinson is a dominant two-way player who controls the game on both ends of the floor and is the focal point of the loaded attack.
First Team
2025 Curtis Stinson Jr Curtis Stinson Jr 6'5" | PG Valley | 2025 State #157 Nation IA (Valley): 13.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 41.9 FG%, 34.6 3P%, 73.3 FT%
A 6-4 lead guard who uses his size, physicality, and IQ to his advantage on both ends of the floor, Stinson is always in complete control of the game. He sees the floor extremely well, defends multiple positions, and can score from all three levels.
2025 Xzavion Robinson Xzavion Robinson 6'1" | PG Valley | 2025 State #342 Nation IA (Valley): 12.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals, 49.5 FG%, 78.7 FT%
Robinson is arguably the best athlete in the state, a bouncy 5-11 guard who is also a four-star receiver. He was dominant at the state tournament last season as a defender and slasher and is primed to have a massive junior year.
2024 Luke Winkel Luke Winkel 6'1" | PG Ankeny Centennial | 2024 State IA (Centennial): 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.5 steals, 47.3 FG%, 78.9 FT%
Winkel is the leading returning scorer in the league, a quick and skilled guard who gets to the rim seemingly at will. He had some explosive scoring games last season as a junior for the Jaguars in addition to being a fantastic playmaker, dishing out nearly 5 assists a game.
2024 Carson Johnson Carson Johnson 5'11" | PG Ankeny | 2024 State IA (Ankeny): 15.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 45.6 FG%, 42.0 3P%, 89.0 FT%
It’s really nice to finally see Johnson healthy and playing high-level basketball after he dealt with injury issues for a few years. When he’s healthy, he’s one of the best pure lead guards in the state with his combination of three-level scoring, ball-handling, and passing. He’s an extremely efficient scorer with a picturesque stroke from deep.
2024 Trovary Cavil Trovary Cavil 5'11" | PG Johnston | 2024 State IA (Johnston): 21.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.4 steals, 44.4 FG%, 78.9 FT%*
Cavil transferred to Johnston from Des Moines Lincoln for his senior year and will give the Dragons an explosive scorer and playmaker in the backcourt. He has excellent handles, a great mid-range game, and sees the floor at a high level.
