At one point earning national player of the week honors from different outlets, Henry led 4A in scoring this season, outpacing the likes of juniors and seniors set to play Division I ball like [player_tooltip player_id='1978099' first='Colin' last='Rice'], [player_tooltip player_id='1643192' first='Landon' last='Davis'], [player_tooltip player_id='2309944' first='Josiah' last='Harrington'], Will Gerdes, [player_tooltip player_id='1765524' first='Evan' last='Jacobson'] and others. Playing with skills and efficiency beyond his years, Henry may be on pace for a national recruitment the state of Iowa hasn't seen in a long time. Long and athletic with high IQ, Henry may have just scratched the surface of what he's capable of as a high school hooper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2923523' first='Pernell' last='Grover Jr.'] (Waterloo West) <br><em>13.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 41.1 3PT%</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grover first showed what he could do at the <a href="https://prephoops.com/2025/08/iowa-freshman-showcase-eliots-first-team-all-showcase/">Iowa Freshman Showcase</a> in August of last year. Possessing the ultimate confidence to launch at any point when he had an inch of space on the perimeter, the 5-foot-8 guard played way above his stature. Taking what appeared to be a similar mentality to a Waterloo West team that needed it, the freshman led the WaHawks in scoring and three-point percentage in his first year of high school ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler Kubovec (Lisbon)<br><em>16.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 3.1 steals </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second-leading scorer amongst freshman in all classes, Kubovec earned the green light to be Lions' primary scoring threat. Shooting almost double the amount of shots as the second and third-leading scorers on the roster, Kubovec also attempted five times as many free throws as anyone else on Lisbon's 2025-26 squad. He also led all freshman in steals per game with 3.1 per contest. Standing at 5-foot-9, he's still got three years to score a ton of points and ramp up his efficiency. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beau Burdic (East Mills)<br><em>14.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 45.1 FG%, 42.3 3PT%, 71.4 FT%</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing like a seasoned vet and serving as the secondary scorer for East Mills, Beau Burdic should give some major hope and shine a light on the Wolverines as a potential state tournament team in 1A next season as part of a dynamic duo alongside fellow All-Stater, [player_tooltip player_id='2906418' first='Mason' last='Camden']. A proficient three-point shooter that made 60-of-142 shots from beyond the arc this winter, Burdic may be one of the top shooters in his class down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charlie Wessels (Aplington-Parkersburg)<br><em>9.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.7 steals, 58.7 FG%</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A key part of AP's run to the state tournament, Wessels stepped up big time for the Falcons, finishing the season as their third-leading scorer and second-leading rebounder. Also the second-most efficient scorer on the squad for the sixth-seeded team in the 2A state tournament, Wessel's play as AP's tallest post-man, standing at 6-foot-5, was crucial, and his development will be massive if they're to continue their recent success in northeast Iowa. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Honorable Mention:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2934540' first='Drake' last='Elliott'] (Pleasantville); Jack Ragar (Holy Trinity); Alex Tanny (Wahlert Catholic); Grayson Lloyd (Woodbury Central); George Nelson (Nevada); Kynzer Norman (Central Decatur); Sentrell Gray (Davenport West); [player_tooltip player_id='2918369' first='Kaden' last='Gomez'] (Cedar Rapids Kennedy); Drew McKowen (Cedar Rapids Kennedy); Conner Winters (Kee)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
