First Team
2020 Braden Gibbons Braden Gibbons 5'10" | PG Madrid | 2020 State IA , Madrid (22.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.5 steals)
A dynamic two-way threat, Gibbons is the leading returnee in scoring and assists, and ranks fourth in steals.
2020 Curran Ingram Curran Ingram 6'2" | SG Des Moines Christian | 2020 State IA , Des Moines Christian (15.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.7 steals)
The 6-3 guard led the Lions in scoring, steals and blocks last season, helping lead them to State. We expect DMC to be among the top teams in 2A again this season, and Ingram’s two-way ability is a big reason why.
2020 Anthony Potthoff Anthony Potthoff 6'2" | SG Van Meter | 2020 State IA , Van Meter (14.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 50.9 FG%)
A 6-3 guard, Potthoff led the Bulldogs in assists and made 3-pointers last season, while finishing second in scoring, rebounding and steals. An efficient guard with the ability to score from all three levels, he’ll be the focal point of a Van Meter team that is always among 2A’s best.
2020 Bryce Achenbach Bryce Achenbach 6'3" | PG Woodward-Granger | 2020 State IA , Woodward-Granger (14.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.7 steals, 50.4 FG%)

2021 TJ Harkins TJ Harkins 6'0" | SG Earlham | 2021 State IA , Earlham (11.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 70 3PM)
Harkins is a dynamic shooting threat. His 70 3-pointers made last season rank 13th among returnees in the state, and tops in the conference.
