<p><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: </strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951832' first='Cael' last='Reichter'] (North Fayette Valley)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are several quality options for this honor in the Upper Iowa, but we'll give the nod to Reichter, the do-it-all 6-6 forward who stuffs the stat sheet for the TigerHawks.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951832' first='Cael' last='Reichter'] (North Fayette Valley): 22.1 points, 13.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 3.0 blocks, 55.6 FG%</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reichter was a dominant force for NFV as a junior, putting up huge numbers on both ends of the floor. He can score with either hand on the block, is tremendous on the glass on both ends of the floor, provides versatility on the defensive end, and can occasionally step out and stretch the floor.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951831' first='Jordan' last='Cota'] (Kee): 19.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals, 50.5 FG%, 39.2 3P%</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An athletic guard who is looking to lead Kee to their first ever state tournament appearance, Cota nearly averaged 20 a game as a junior, and should eclipse that mark as a senior for the Kee Hawks. He's great on the glass from his perimeter spot and can score from all three levels.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2397266' first='Dalton' last='Mudderman'] (Kee): 17.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.9 steals</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Robin to Cota's Batman, Mudderman is a tough, physical guard who uses his physicality, vision, and speed to not only create great looks for himself, but for his teammates as well, leading Kee in assists. He's a tough on-ball defender as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2511550' first='Parker' last='Kuehl'] (MFL MarMac): 15.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 3.1 steals</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A quick 5-11 guard who uses his speed to control the game on both ends of the floor, Kuehl led the Bulldogs in scoring and steals as a junior. He paces a 'Dogs defensive attack that loves to fly all over the floor, routinely ranking among the state's best in steals.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1874773' first='Carson' last='Streeter'] (South Winneshiek): 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.0 steals</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Streeter is a skilled combo guard who does a little bit of everything for the Warriors. He led the team in scoring and steals, while ranking second in assists, and third in rebounding. He absorbs contact around the rim and can finish through it, and he has the size and athleticism to defend a few different spots. </p>
