A sophomore guard who can fill it up from all three levels, Glynn was impressive in the Knights’ win over Indianola, scoring a team-high 17 points. He knocked down shots off the dribble, showing good footwork and form on a pair of stepback 3s, and he attacked the rim off the dribble, getting to the bucket multiple times and finishing through contact. He’s an active defender who moves his feet and contests shots on the perimeter, and he’ll contribute on the glass on both ends of the floor.
2025 SF Tregan Beiter Tregan Beiter 6'0" | SG Kuemper Catholic | 2025 State IA (Kuemper Catholic)
It seems like every Knight will be written about as a standout this weekend, and for good reason – they’ve been extremely impressive. Add Beiter to that list for his work against Indianola. An active forward with a nose for the ball, he’s relentless on the glass on both ends of the floor, provides some versatility to the defensive end with his toughness and athleticism, and he finishes well around the rim. He showed some ability to step out and stretch the floor as well. He finished with 11 points and made a major impact on the game on both ends of the floor.
2025 PF Derek Willmott (Indianola)
A mobile 6-6 forward with good hands, soft touch around the rim, and a non-stop motor that he uses to pound the offensive glass, Willmott was impressive on the offensive end against Kuemper, finishing with 19 points. A majority of his damage is done around the rim, either off of feeds or offensive rebounds, but he showed some ability to step out and stretch the floor as well, looking confident in his jumper out to the arc.
2027 SG Thomas DeWall Thomas DeWall 6'1" | SG Indianola | 2027 State IA (Indianola)
The sophomore guard came out on fire for the Indians, knocking down three 3-pointers early in their game against Kuemper. He’s a really good shooter off the catch, getting his feet set and squared and showing a quick release. He can also shoot it off the dribble, as he showed in the second half, when he knocked down two more 3s, helping him finish with 18 points.

These two were both written about as standout performers from their games yesterday, but both deserve to be mentioned here again because they were great in their game against each other. Abbott finished with 17, controlling the game from inside the arc by getting to the rim routinely levels, while Lorensen put up 24 and made it look too easy.
2026 CG Jaishon White Jaishon White 6'1" | PG Waukee | 2026 State IA (Waukee)
White (pictured) missed yesterday’s action dealing with cramps, but was really good against Norwalk, showcasing his ability to play with and without the ball in his hands. A strong, quick, athletic guard who can absorb contact and finish through it at the rim, he looks to attack the bucket relentlessly. He has really good footwork on his drives, handles it well, and can get his teammates involved with his vision and ability to draw the defense to him. He’s a capable shooter from deep, but is certainly at his best when he’s in attack mode. He had 14 points in Waukee’s win over Norwalk.
