Petersen is Regina’s engine on both ends of the court. The senior point guard deftly gets the Regals into their offense and plays excellent on-ball defense. He’s one of those guys you appreciate more by watching than looking at a box score. He’s a smart, tough player always looking for way to help his team win. He paced the Regals with four assists without a turnover, adding four rebounds, two steals and a three-pointer here.

On a team that was loaded with good offensive weapons, Petersen didn’t have a ton of chances to make an impact on that end of the floor, but he found other ways to make an impact. He’s a good defender with quick hands and good footwork, and on multiple occasions he was able to cleanly pick the pocket of an opposing ball-handler and turn his defense into offense. He’s a good finisher around the rim, showing good patience and body control. He’s a reliable shooting threat when he’s balanced and able to shoot it off the catch in rhythm, and he’ll contribute on the glass.

Eddie Petersen Eddie Petersen 6'1" | PG Regina | 2024 State IA helped lead the Iowa City-Regina Regals this season as their starting point guard. Petersen, a 6’1 athletic guard, can do a plethora of good things on the floor for whatever squad he is playing with. He has an elite handle with the consistent ability to score in the open court when guarded one on one. He possesses a balanced shooting stroke that seems to never be rushed with a signature floater he likes to put up while attacking the basket. In addition to this I would say that his best ability is seeing the floor, creating for others, and making an accurate pass to his teammates. Not to mention his ability to play the ball when his opponent drives, leading to just over 1 BPG during his junior season. Throughout this past year Petersen made it pretty relevant that he was the heart and soul of this Regina team while being their floor general. Without him, it would have been difficult for this group to be successful night in and night out. He ended his season averaging 9.5 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 3.7 APG. Moving forward I’m curious to what his future will hold as he is a two sport athlete with a lot of promise on the soccer field as well as the court. If a college program out there is looking for a smart guard with decent size, who does a good job of protecting the ball and making the players around him better, Petersen could be your guy. He will return for one more season this fall as Regina’s starting point guard where he will look to lead the Regals to the best year they have had since making it to state during the 18-19′ season.
