Hazekamp had a big year for the Crusaders and after a very productive summer with the Barnstormers, expect him to make another big jump. There was a lot of competition for this pick, but Hazekamp gets the nod with his upside and efficiency.
First team (2015-16 stats)
2017 Jailen Billings, Sioux City East (19.9 ppg, 40.4 FG%, 38.5 3FG%, 90 asts, 61 stls)
Previously at Sioux City North, Billings has transferred to East, where he’ll bring his big numbers and big game in an intraconference move. He’s currently got NAIA and JuCo interest after a huge junior year.
2017 Kyle Crowl, CB Lincoln (15.9 ppg, 51.1 FG%, 48.1 3FG%, 76.5 FT%)
Crowl established himself as one of the top shooters in the state with some eye-popping numbers.
2018 Elijah Hazekamp, Bishop Heelan (15.3 ppg, 50.0 FG%, 35.4 3FG%, 82.4 FT%, 20 blks, 9.7 rpg)
Our preseason player of the year, we’re expecting Hazekamp to improve after an already strong start to his varsity career.
2018 Van Rees, Sioux City East (15.0 ppg, 60.0 FG%, 11.6 rpg)
A double-double machine, Rees is going to be a problem for the rest of the conference as a junior.
2017 Chris Kroll, Sergeant Bluff-Luton (15.5 ppg, 39.4 FG%, 30.8 3FG%, 79.1 FT%, 64 asts, 61 stls)
Kroll will be a huge key to SB-L’s success this season as he looks to improve on a productive junior campaign
Second Team (2015-16 stats)
2017 Jackson Wright, Sergeant Bluff-Luton (12.0 ppg, 54.1 FG%, 6.5 rpg)
2019 Aidan Vanderloo, Sioux City East (8.7 ppg, 58.1 FG%, 50.0 3FG%, 79.7 FT%)
2018 Jack Boever, Bishop Heelan (8.6 ppg, 49.3 FG%, 40.3 3FG%, 69 asts)
2017 Marquise Bolden, Sioux City West (9.9 ppg, 42.9 FG%, 33.8 3FG%)
2017 Daniel Carey, CB Lincoln (9.7 ppg, 33.7 FG%, 32.9 3FG%)
