<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: </strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951797' first='Trae' last='Brown'] (Ottumwa)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown was electric last season, leading the Bulldogs in scoring and rebounding, and he's the top returnee in both categories in the IAS. He's a tough, physical wing who can score from all three levels at a highly efficient clip, and if Ottumwa is going to challenge Roosevelt and North at the top of the division, it will be because Brown is the best player in the division. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951797' first='Trae' last='Brown'] (Ottumwa): 17.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.9 steals, 52.5 FG%, 42.9 3P%, 75.0 FT%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical wing with great size at 6-4, Brown is a highly efficient three-level scoring threat who can take over the game as a scorer, playmaker, and defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2398133' first='Da'corion' last='White'] (North): 13.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.3 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White is a quick guard who impacts the game with his speed on both ends of the floor.
