Hall has been extremely productive in his first two high school seasons, ranking among the top 12 in rebounding in 1A as both a freshman and sophomore. He’ll be the focal point of an English Valleys team that should be much improved this season.
2.) Ben DeMeulenaere Ben DeMeulenaere 6'3" | PF Belle Plaine | 2022 State IA (Belle Plaine, 2022) – 11.1 rebounds per game
A highly efficient big man who does a great job sealing his man on the block, DeMeulenaere has exceptional hands and grabs every rebound that comes into his area.
3.) Eddie Burgess Eddie Burgess 6'4" | PF Montezuma | 2022 State IA (Montezuma, 2022) – 10.5 rebounds per game
Coming off perhaps the most impressive statistical season on the gridiron in state history, Burgess is also a key cog for a Braves team that will be among the best in 1A this year. A big body with good athleticism and great hands, he’s dominant on the glass on both ends of the floor.
4.) Mason Harter Mason Harter 6'6" | PF Wapsie Valley | 2023 State IA (Wapsie Valley, 2023) – 10.4 rebounds per game
Coming off an extremely productive freshman year at Sigourney, Harter moved to defending 1A champion Wapsie Valley during the offseason, and he’ll be a huge piece for the Warriors in the defense of their title. He averaged 14.5 points to go with his 10.4 rebounds last year.
5.) Reed Stallman Reed Stallman 6'3" | PF Alburnett | 2021 State IA (Alburnett, 2021) – 10.3 rebounds per game
Stallman is a bit undersized, but he’s incredibly active on the glass on both ends of the floor. His constant movement and aggressiveness allow him to put up some big rebounding numbers.
6.) Angelo Winkel Angelo Winkel 6'9" | C Bishop Garrigan | 2021 State IA (Bishop Garrigan, 2021) – 10.0 rebounds per game
The Augustana (SD) signee is one of the biggest matchup problems in 1A basketball with his size and athleticism. The 6-9 big man can score at will on the block, runs the floor extremely well and has decent touch on his jumper as well.
7.) Kaleb Cornilsen Kaleb Cornilsen 6'5" | PF Easton Valley | 2021 State IA (Easton Valley, 2021) – 10.0 rebounds per game
A versatile forward, Cornilsen was the focal point of an Easton Valley team that was ranked #1 in 1A heading into the postseason last year. Unfortunately, an injury kept him out of their substate game, and they were upset as a result. He has the ability to score from all three levels at an efficient clip, and he controls the glass on both ends of the floor.
8.) Cooper Kock (Ar-We-Va, 2022) – 10.0 rebounds per game
The only player on this list to not average double-figures in scoring, Kock put up just 7.0 points a game last year as a sophomore, but he did a great job controlling the glass.
9.) Tre Melby Tre Melby 6'9" | C Logan-Magnolia | 2021 State IA (Logan-Magnolia, 2021) – 9.8 rebounds per game
The 6-9 big man towers over most of the other players on the court whenever he’s on the floor. He’s got good hands and is also a sought after prospect on the gridiron.
10.) Iziek Soper (Midland, 2021) – 9.4 rebounds per game
Soper pulled down over three offensive rebounds a game for the Eagles, leading to plenty of second chance points.
