Preseason All-Conference Teams: Iowa Alliance South

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: </strong>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2204081' first='Charlie' last='King'] (Roosevelt)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best player in the conference who also happens to play on the best team in the conference, this is a pretty easy selection. A three-level scorer who can carry his team for extended stretches, he's primed to have a huge junior season for the Riders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2204081' first='Charlie' last='King'] (Roosevelt): 17.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.0 steals, 39.6 3P%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King is a big-time scorer on the wing, filling it up efficiently from all three levels. A high IQ, skilled wing who can take over games as a scorer, playmaker, and versatile defender, he's hands down the most impactful two-way player in the league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2617518' first='Jayvion' last='Hanson'] (Des Moines North): 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hanson, a 6-0 guard, appeared in just one game last season for Des Moines East, but he was really productive in that outing. Playing at North with a bit more talent around him, he should thrive in the up-and-down, free-flowing game that the Polar Bears thrive in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2413544' first='Boie' last='Gomo'] (Hoover): 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick guard who thrives when he's playing downhill and attacking the rim, Gomo is able to put constant pressure on opposing defenses with his speed, toughness, and handles. He'll have the ball in his hands a ton again this winter for the Huskies. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2887879' first='Nehemiah' last='Wolfing'] (Ottumwa): 10.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wolfing was second on the Bulldogs in scoring last season and was solid as a secondary ball-handler and playmaker. Following the graduation of Trae Brown, he'll step into an even bigger role as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2754693' first='D'Mir' last='Coleman'] (Roosevelt): 5.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 76.0 FG%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coleman, an athletic, long 6-8 big man who runs the floor well, was productive as a sophomore at North, and has a chance to shine at Roosevelt alongside King and the other talented Roughriders. He's raw, but really athletic and can protect the rim at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2420799' first='D'Angelo' last='Parker'] (Des Moines East)<br>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2420807' first='JJ' last='Seay'] (Des Moines North)<br>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2754726' first='Malik' last='Williams'] (Des Moines East)<br>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2906425' first='Isaac' last='Fandeh'] (Hoover)<br>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2617548' first='T'Angello' last='Bush'] (Des Moines North)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Honorable Mentions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 Diyon Berry (Hoover)<br>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2731787' first='Lionel' last='Parks'] (Des Moines Lincoln)<br>2027 Gavin Monaghan (Ottumwa)<br>2026 Kase Hickman (Ottumwa)<br>2027 Julius Manson (Des Moines East)<br>2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2772350' first='Frank' last='Lee IV'] (Roosevelt)<br>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2519967' first='Finley' last='Newman'] (Roosevelt)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
