<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(71) [player_tooltip player_id='2523916' first='Owen' last='Whitehouse'] | SG | Clear Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whitehouse isn't getting any varsity run this year for Clear Lake, but that's not a knock on the kid, that's just because Clear Lake is the top-ranked team in 3A with a loaded roster filled with upperclassmen. A talented guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, he figures to be a key piece for the Lions over the next three years. He's a scrappy guard who rebounds well despite his smaller stature. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(72) [player_tooltip player_id='2523918' first='Preston' last='Davison'] | PG | Garner-Hayfield-Ventura | [program_tooltip program_id='2523807' first='Breakers' last='Basketball Club']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davison has come off the bench as a freshman for the Cardinals to provide some scoring punch, averaging 7.3 points per game. He's a high volume 3-point shooter with a quick release off both the dribble and the catch, and he's able to use the threat of his jumper to attack off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(73) [player_tooltip player_id='2523887' first='Blake' last='Lawrenson'] | PF | West Harrison</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lawrenson is a big, physical forward who has been very productive, especially on the glass, as a freshman for the Hawkeyes.

He shoots it really well off the catch, with a quick release and plenty of range on his jumper. He is able to put the ball on the floor and attack off the dribble as well, either getting to the rim for finishes or finding open teammates. He isn't playing varsity ball for the Indians this year, but will be an important piece for them moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(75) [player_tooltip player_id='2521847' first='Nolan' last='Fichter'] | PG | Pleasantville | [program_tooltip program_id='2119712' first='Iowa' last='Suns']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high IQ, skilled guard who sees the floor well and loves to get his teammates involved, Fichter is a really good passer who loves to push the tempo whenever he can.

He isn't getting any varsity run with the Hawks as a freshman, but he figures to be a big part of the future at Lynnville-Sully.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(77) [player_tooltip player_id='2523920' first='Quinton' last='Garner'] | PG | Cedar Rapids Washington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garner is a big part of a really talented 2028 class at Wash. He's a talented guard who can play downhill and attack the rim. He's a creative finisher around the rim and he has great vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(78) [player_tooltip player_id='2523917' first='Preetdeep' last='Singh'] | PG | Waukee</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Singh shoots it well off the catch, moving without the ball in his hands and showing a quick release.

But Movall, a 6-5 big man, was a bright spot this season, averaging 10.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. He has good size at 6-5, can protect the rim, and control the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
