With teams on a hiatus during the holiday break, let's check in on the statistical leaders in each category in each class to get a better feel for who some of the most productive players in the state have been so far this season. Leaders for this article are from whatever has been input into Bound as of 12/26 at 10:30 am. (Minimum 2 3PA per game played.)   1.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2419810' first='Easton' last='McGraw'] (Indianola) - 64.3% (9/14)   The Indians lost a ton of production to graduation, hit harder than any other team in the state. That has allowed a lot of new faces, including a number of freshmen, to step into big roles, including McGraw, a 6-4 wing. He's averaging 8.8 points and 5.2 rebounds a game, and has shown the ability to score from all three levels.   2.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1476940' first='Aidan' last='Harder'] (Norwalk) - 55.6% (15/27)   Harder has been extremely efficient to open the year for the Warriors, averaging 15.8 points on 55-56 shooting splits. A skilled guard with a quick release and really good off-ball movement, he has also provided Norwalk with some good secondary playmaking.   3.) 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1765536' first='Cooper' last='Porter'] (Senior) - 55.2% (16/29)   Porter is part of a really talented 2026 group at Senior, and he has stepped into the starting lineup for the Rams and performed at a high level, averaging 7.7 points and 2.4 assists a game while scoring efficiently and protecting the ball. He has a quick release and shoots it really well both off the dribble and the catch.   4.) 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1978111' first='Jake' last='Pargeon'] (Urbandale) - 54.5% (6/11)   A 6-0 sophomore, Pargeon has come off the bench for the J-Hawks to provide some scoring, averaging 4.6 points and knocking down his open 3-point looks. Obviously the sample size is still pretty small, but he has a quick release and plenty of range.   5.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1376689' first='Cole' last='Arnold'] (Council Bluffs Lincoln) - 52.6% (20/38)   Arnold was a good scorer last season for the Lynx, averaging 13.8 points, but he has become a dynamic scorer this season, increasing his field goal percentage by nearly 16 points and turning himself from a 28% 3-point shooter into one shooting well over 50%. As a result of the markedly improved efficiency, he's averaging 21.8 points a game.   6.) 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1381415' first='Trey' last='McKowen'] (Kennedy) - 51.7% (15/29)   A tough, efficient guard, McKowen is having a breakout junior year for the Cougars, leading the team in scoring at 16.0 points a game. He has done so at an incredibly efficient rate, as well, posting 63-52-70 shooting splits so far this season. He's a skilled lefty shooter who can fill it up from all three levels.   7.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171660' first='Carson' last='Johnson'] (Ankeny) - 51.1% (23/45)   Johnson has been one of the best players in the state so far this season, averaging 24.1 points and 3.3 assists per game on 54-51-89 shooting splits. A quick guard with a picturesque stroke, he shoots it exceptionally well off the dribble, using his handles and footwork to help create a tiny bit of space to get his shot off.   8.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1476975' first='Jackson' last='Green'] (Dallas Center-Grimes) - 50.0% (23/46)   Few players utilize off-ball screens as well as Green (pictured) does, freeing himself up to get great looks from the arc. He pairs that great off-ball movement with a quick release and unlimited range. His form is pure and he also does a nice job taking advantage of overly aggressive closeouts to get to the rim or the mid-range.   9.) 2025 Dylan Gloviak (Ankeny) - 50.0% (6/12)   Gloviak, like Pargeon, has a pretty small sample size, but he has provided some scoring off the bench for the Hawks, averaging 6.0 points and taking advantage of his opportunities with efficiency.   10.) 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2511598' first='Tenerick' last='Brady'] (Davenport North) - 50.0% (14/28)   Brady has stepped up and become the leading scorer for the Wildcats this season, averaging 11.6 points on 45-52-74 splits. He's an athletic guard who also impacts the game on the defensive end, averaging 2.2 steals a game.
