Last year’s stats: 13.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 41.9 FG%, 34.6 3P%, 73.3 FT%
Stinson won’t put up the eye-popping numbers that some of the other players in 4A will put up, but he’s the best two-way player on the team that should be considered a heavy favorite in 4A, making him our choice for this honor heading into the season.

A bulldog who doesn’t back down from anyone, Winkel is one of the most dynamic scorers in the state. He’s strong off the dribble, getting to the rim or finding his spots in the mid-range, and he’s also a talented passer and playmaker.

Last year’s stats: 19.9 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.5 blocks, 44.7 FG%, 33.6 3P%, 73.3 FT%
The top-ranked player in the 2024 class, Wilkins will be looking to lead an improved Bettendorf team to the state tournament this season. He’s coming off a junior season in which he averaged a double-double, and he followed that up with an excellent summer with the Iowa Barnstormers .

*The health of Robinson is a question heading into this season (shoulder). If we knew he was completely healthy, he’d be on the second team, bumping Courbat down.
