<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: </strong>2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171685' first='Derek' last='Weisskopf'] (Williamsburg)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williamsburg lost a significant amount of production to graduation, but they bring back the best player in the division in Weisskopf, who is our pick for POY.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171685' first='Derek' last='Weisskopf'] (Williamsburg): 19.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.0 steals, 51.6 FG%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic 6-4 wing who can score inside and out, defend multiple positions, create for his teammates, and pound the glass, Weisskopf is a dominant two-way player for the Raiders. A future linebacker at Iowa, he's an extremely difficult matchup because of his combination of size and athleticism. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1751232' first='Cameron' last='Dunbar'] (Vinton-Shellsburg): 13.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 steals, 76.9 FT%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A volume scorer who can get hot and carry his team for long stretches, Dunbar is capable of filling it up from all three levels for the Vikings. He's also a solid team defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1938206' first='Haiden' last='Hardy'] (Clear Creek Amana): 12.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hardy is a good ball-handler and playmaker who uses his handles and quickness to play downhill and put pressure on opposing defenses. At 6-2, he's able to cover a lot of ground in a hurry. He finishes well at the rim and is also a gifted passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1759949' first='Andrew' last='Rotzoll'] (Clear Creek Amana): 11.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 42.6 3P%, 75.0 FT%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rotzoll is a sharpshooter on the perimeter who buried nearly 43% of his 3-point attempts last season. A 6-1 off-ball guard who moves well without the ball in his hands, he actually shot it better from 3 (42.6%) than he did from 2-point range (36.0%) last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1381405' first='Brody' last='Clubb'] (Clear Creek Amana): 9.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.1 blocks, 50.3 FG%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic and physical 6-4 forward who controls the glass for the Clippers, Clubb is a physically intimidating presence in the paint who can also protect the rim well. CCA should be a much improved team this season and be a real threat in the division. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1874779' first='Hunter' last='Holmes'] (Center Point-Urbana)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2511568' first='Ryan' last='McIlrath'] (Grinnell)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1759931' first='Cale' last='Berry'] (Clear Creek Amana)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 Cole Blackford (Grinnell)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1751226' first='Kellen' last='Cockrell'] (Williamsburg)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Honorable Mentions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 Ethan Walker (Grinnell)<br>2025 Brock Hilsman (Clear Creek Amana)<br>2024 Cade Rosenberger (South Tama)<br>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2721799' first='Derek' last='Doty'] (Grinnell)<br>2024 Daniel Wiese (South Tama)<br>2025 Brady Coffman (Grinnell)<br>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1765520' first='Cooper' last='Grimm'] (Center Point-Urbana)<br>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2413535' first='Ethan' last='Vice'] (Clear Creek Amana)<br>2025 Kingston Davenport (South Tama)<br>2024 Jarret Koppedryer (Center Point-Urbana)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
