Good arguments can be made for any of the five players who landed on the first team to be pegged as the Preseason POY here, but we’ll go with Bockman, who leads a Vikings team that has controlled the conference for the last few years and is likely our pick to win it again this season.
First Team
2022 Joseph Bockman Joseph Bockman 5'10" | PG Decorah | 2022 State IA , Decorah: 14.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 steals
Bockman is a typical Decorah guard – a bit undersized, but a good athlete who uses his strength well to finish around the bucket. He impacts the game on both ends of the floor with his athleticism, toughness, and quickness.
2022 Drake Wemark Drake Wemark 6'3" | SF New Hampton | 2022 State IA , New Hampton: 15.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.9 steals, 1.1 blocks
Wemark missed nine games last season but was extremely productive on both ends when he was on the floor for the Chickasaws. His ability to create his own shot, contribute on the glass, and get others involved is arguably the best in the league.
2023 Chase Low Chase Low 6'3" | PF Charles City | 2023 State IA , Charles City: 14.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.9 steals, 49.4 FG%
Low is a fantastic athlete with great length that he uses well on both ends of the floor. He gets out in transition and is an excellent finisher around the rim, and he’s working to become a better shooting threat as well.
2022 Braden Hemann Braden Hemann 6'4" | PF Waukon | 2022 State IA , Waukon: 14.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 78.6 FT%
A versatile 6-5 forward who can score inside and out, Hemann is the league’s top returnee in made 3-pointers, knocking down 43 of them last season. He can also take his defender down onto the block and score efficiently.
2022 Keaton Farmer Keaton Farmer 6'2" | CG Waverly-Shell Rock | 2022 State IA , Waverly-Shell Rock: 11.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 40.0 3P%
Arguably the best shooter in the conference, Farmer is the Go-Hawks’ leading returning scorer, and his 36 made 3-pointers last season are second among league returnees.
