Five Class 2A Freshmen Making an Early Impact

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF Kane Schooley (Chariton)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-0 wing, Schooley has made an early impact for the Chargers, averaging 8.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. His 8.8 points rank second on the team in scoring, and he has the ability to score from all three levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2934540' first='Drake' last='Elliott'] (Pleasantville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of two Trojans on this list, Elliott is a 5-9 guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands. He's probably better at this point operating off the ball, knocking down shots off the catch. He's shooting over 35% from the 3-point line and averaging 7.3 points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF Charlie Wessels (Aplington-Parkersburg)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big body at 6-5, Wessels has been productive in his early-season minutes for the Falcons, averaging 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds on 54.5% shooting. He has good, soft hands and does a great job using his frame to carve out space on the block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PG [player_tooltip player_id='2921223' first='Keenan' last='Lundy'] (Van Meter)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-1 lead guard, Lundy (pictured) impressed when I saw the Bulldogs play at the Winterset Shootout in June and has gotten off to a great start to his high school career. He has started each of the first seven games and is averaging 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. He's a high IQ guard who sets his teammates up, can defend either perimeter spot, and he's really good on the glass from his perimeter spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PG Levi Willoughby (Pleasantville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5-11 lead guard, Willoughby is leading the Trojans in assists, dishing out 4.2 helpers per game. An active two-way guard, he's also averaging 6.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.0 steals per game. He can score from all three levels and does a great job setting up his teammates and protecting the ball (2.78 assist-to-turnover ratio).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
