Eight Outstanding Performances from Last Week (Class 3A)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 C [player_tooltip player_id='1978100' first='Jaxon' last='Clark'] (Keokuk) -- 41 points (19-25 FG, 1-3 3P, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds (10 offensive), 3 blocks [vs. Fort Madison]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After getting off to a bit of a slow start this season the Chiefs are starting to take off, and Clark is the reason why. The physical, athletic, and extremely talented 6-11 big man has fantastic hands, footwork, and touch around the rim with either hand and was a dominant two-way force against the Bloodhounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 PG [player_tooltip player_id='1381408' first='Zach' last='Driscoll'] (Decorah) -- 37 points (12-27 FG, 3-7 3P, 10-12 FT), 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals [vs. Prairie]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The backcourt piece of one of the best one-two punches in the state, Driscoll was really good against a quality 4A team in Prairie. A quick guard with great handles, vision, and shotmaking talent, he was fantastic as a scorer and playmaker against the Hawks in a narrow loss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2413548' first='Nolan' last='Ehlinger'] (Maquoketa) -- 35 points (13-35 FG, 4-12 3P, 5-10 FT), 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals [vs. Camanche]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-0 guard, Ehlinger's efficiency was obviously not the greatest against the Storm, but they needed every last one of his 35 points. He's an athletic, quick guard who can score inside and out as well as create quality looks off the dribble. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 SF Brock Watson (Clarke) -- 35 points (13-23 FG, 0-2 3P, 9-13 FT), 20 rebounds (8 offensive), 3 steals [vs. Cardinal]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lanky 6-3 wing, Watson posted a massive double-double against the Comets, showing that he can get to the rim and control the glass on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 SF [player_tooltip player_id='1765515' first='Jaidyn' last='Coon'] (Storm Lake) -- 34 points (12-18 FG, 6-8 3P, 4-6 FT), 7 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block [vs. OABCIG]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coon is quickly becoming one of the most coveted prospects to come out of Iowa in the last decade, and his showing against OABCIG helped showcase exactly why he is. A freak athlete with great length and size at 6-8, he showed his picturesque stroke from the 3-point line as well as his eye-popping athleticism and tenacity as a rim attacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2231637' first='Lincoln' last='Norris'] (Knoxville) -- 32 points (11-17 FG, 10-16 3P), 1 rebound, 3 assists, 2 steals [vs. Pella Christian]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We could have picked either this one or his showing against Cardinal, where he went 11-19 from the 3-point line as part of an absolutely ridiculous week from the sophomore guard. A 6-0 sharpshooter with a silky smooth stroke, unlimited range, and immense confidence, he has been on a truly ridiculous tear of late.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 SF [player_tooltip player_id='1759949' first='Andrew' last='Rotzoll'] (Clear Creek Amana) -- 32 points (11-23 FG, 7-14 3P, 3-4 FT), 2 rebounds, 3 steals [vs. Benton]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another team that got off to a bit of a slow start but that has started to take off lately is CCA, and Rotzoll is a big reason why. A sharpshooting 6-2/6-3 wing with a quick release, great off-ball movement, and extended range, he filled it up from everywhere on the floor against the Bobcats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2754687' first='Ajay' last='Vander Schaaf'] (Sergeant Bluff-Luton) -- 30 points (11-15 FG, 4-6 3P, 4-5 FT), 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals [vs. Sioux City West]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The coach's son showcased his all-around offensive skill set in a 16-point win over West, getting to the rim off the dribble, knocking down shots from 3 off the catch, and creating quality looks for his teammates. He's a high IQ guard who handles it well, shoots it well, and is a tough, creative finisher around the rim. He was in complete control against the Wolverines. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
