A physical power wing on one of the league’s two best teams, Witty led the Lions to the state tournament last season, scoring efficiently and making an impact on both ends of the floor.
First Team
2022 Adam Witty Adam Witty 6'2" | SF Des Moines Christian | 2022 State IA , Des Moines Christian: 14.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 61.3 FG%, 83.3 FT%
Witty led the Lions in scoring last season, shooting an impressive 61.3% from the field in the process. He’s a physical wing who can get to the rim and finish through contact, and he moves well without the ball in his hands. With four starters graduating, a lot will be asked of Witty this year, but he’s capable of leading this team again.
2022 Mason Scheve Mason Scheve 6'1" | SG Pleasantville | 2022 State IA , Pleasantville: 18.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.2 steals, 40.0 3P%
Pleasantville won just two league games last year, but Scheve was a standout, leading the conference in scoring and doing so at a fairly efficient clip despite being the obvious focus of every opposing game plan. He’s a knockdown shooter off the dribble and the catch, and he plays passing lanes well defensively.
2022 Kale Day Kale Day 6'3" | SF Interstate 35 | 2022 State IA , Interstate 35: 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.5 blocks, 48.6 FG%, 39.1 3P%
An active 6-4 forward who runs the floor, finishes around the rim, protects the paint defensively, and can occasionally stretch out and knock down 3-pointers, Day is the leader of a Roadrunners team that should be improved this year. He’s the league’s leading returning rebounder.
2022 Miles Kading Miles Kading 5'10" | PG ACGC | 2022 State IA , ACGC: 11.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.3 steals
A 6-0 lead guard who had a big summer with ACGC, Kading could explode as a scoring threat this year following the graduations of Eli Kading Eli Kading 6'2" | SG ACGC | 2021 State IA and Lucas Marsh, who combined to average 25.9 points a game last season.
2022 Chris Schreck Chris Schreck 5'10" | PG Van Meter | 2022 State IA , Van Meter: 13.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.1 steals, 40.7 3P%, 87.2 FT%
A small and quick lead guard, Schreck led the Bulldogs in scoring, assists, and steals last year, and is the leader of a Van Meter team that is likely the best in the conference this season. He’s a good shooter, a pesky on-ball defender, and a good passer.
