Crouse led the Wolverines to an undefeated mark against league foes last season, and his ability to stuff the stat sheet in a multitude of ways makes him the best player in the league.
First Team
2023 Mason Crouse Mason Crouse 6'1" | SF East Mills | 2023 State IA , East Mills: 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.3 steals, 74.1 FT%
Crouse, a 6-0 wing, is the second leading returning scorer, and the leading returning rebounder in the league. A versatile threat who can score from the perimeter and get to the bucket, he leads a Wolverines team that will be the best in the conference again this season.
2022 Carter Johnson Carter Johnson 5'11" | SG Stanton | 2022 State IA , Stanton: 20.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 3.3 steals
The league’s leading returning scorer, Johnson also stuffs the stat sheet in a variety of ways, ranking among the top five returnees in assists and steals as well. If he can improve his efficiency from the arc, he could be a candidate to lead the state in scoring this season.
2022 Cole Jorgenson, Sidney: 15.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.1 blocks
A quick 5-11 guard, Jorgenson’s 59 made 3-pointers last season led the league by 11, and he knocked them down at a respectable 36.9% clip. He’s asked to carry a big chunk of the scoring load for the Cowboys, accounting for over 25% of their points last season.
2023 Taylor Reed, Fremont-Mills: 12.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.1 blocks
A versatile 6-2 forward, Reed is the top returning scorer for the Knights, and he led the team in assists and steals last season.
2023 Jerett Jetzsch, East Mills: 10.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks
A mobile 6-4 forward, Jetzsch is the league’s top returning shot-blocker, turning away 26 shots last season. He’s also someone who scores at a fairly efficient clip around the rim. His interior presence on both ends of the floor is a big part of what makes East Mills the team to beat in the league.
