The overall balance of Emmetsburg likely prevents one of their players from putting up the eye-popping numbers that Moline will, grabbing him this honor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2398114' first='Logan' last='Moline'] (Manson-Northwest Webster): 25.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.2 steals, 51.3 FG%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong, athletic guard, Moline is one of the top returning scorers in the state, regardless of class.

He's a bouncy athlete who can create off the dribble for himself and his teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2721807' first='Cole' last='Higgins'] (South Central Calhoun)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2731864' first='Jacksyn' last='Hogrefe'] (Newell-Fonda)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Max Carlson (Newell-Fonda)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2519988' first='Gavin' last='Swanson'] (Emmetsburg)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Carter Hudson (Emmetsburg)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Honorable Mentions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2519956' first='Sullivan' last='Hall'] (GTRA)<br>2025 Sam Julin (East Sac County)<br>2026 Jack Christian (Sioux Central)<br>2025 Mason Hoberman (Newell-Fonda)<br>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2520000' first='Kale' last='Fank'] (Emmetsburg)<br>2025 Guyson Lyman (Newell-Fonda)<br>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2520001' first='Carson' last='Baak'] (Emmetsburg)<br>2026 Adam Stephan (Alta-Aurelia)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
