Roland-Story lost a significant chunk of last year’s roster, but brings back arguably their most important player in Wilkinson, a versatile two-way player who is among the best defenders in 2A in addition to being a high-level scoring threat.
First Team
2024 Jonovan Wilkinson Jonovan Wilkinson 6'2" | SF Roland-Story | 2024 State IA (Roland-Story): 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.2 steals
A big, physical wing who can really shoot it, especially from the mid-range, Wilkinson will be asked to do even more as both a scorer and playmaker as a senior for the Norsemen. A versatile defender who stuffs the stat sheet, he’s the best player on a R-S team that will battle Nevada for league supremacy.
2024 Jacob Khounsourath Jacob Khounsourath 6'1" | SG Nevada | 2024 State IA (Nevada): 18.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.4 blocks, 37.7 3P%, 81.0 FT%
An athletic 6-1 guard who stuffs the stat sheet, Khounsourath provides the Cubs with lots of versatility on the defensive end of the floor with his ability to move his feet and contest shots. He’s a three-level scorer and skilled playmaker.
2024 Jacob Wendt Jacob Wendt 6'2" | PF PCM | 2024 State IA (PCM): 13.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals
A physical 6-2 forward with good hands and quick feet, Wendt averaged a double-double as a junior and will be even better as a senior. He’s a good passer who sees the floor well and can initiate the offense from the post.
2024 Cade Boten Cade Boten 6'1" | SG Saydel | 2024 State IA (Saydel): 15.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals
A 6-1 scoring guard, Boten pairs with Shyne Lo Shyne Lo 6'1" | PG Saydel | 2024 State IA to give the Eagles a really strong one-two punch in the backcourt. He’s a good perimeter shooter who can create for himself and his teammates, and is a reliable secondary ball-handler and playmaker.
2025 Gavin VanGorp (PCM): 13.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.1 steals
A 6-1 wing who is at his best when he’s playing downhill and attacking the rim, VanGorp is not only a good scoring threat, but is also a strong defender who does a great job getting into passing lanes.
