That game should be good tomorrow night. The guard battle will be very interesting.Solon 49, DM Christian 25.
Never close.
The Lynx teeter back and forth between A and 2A. FWIW...the boys team has been in the state championship game 6 straight years...whether they were 2A or A. That's insane. A very good program the past 8-10 years. Their girl's teams have won state a couple years ago and are very good also.North Linn was 2A 4 years or so ago, not sure when they dropped. Teams like Garrigan rarely completely drop off the next year because there will be players that played with and against the previous years players and were improved there. Throw in that Garrigan “found” a center from Poky and it’s not as surprising.

There are two people other than Lewis and Tanke on my recruiting lists who are still alive in the Iowa state tournament:
2026 Ellie Muller, 6'2" F, Dowling. She had 19 points, 13 rebounds and 7 blocks in the semi win against Cedar Falls. She holds an offer from ISU. Other offers include Drake and Minnesota. Nice article on her and her younger sister: https://sports.yahoo.com/ellie-katie-muller-carry-family-115015156.html
2026 Averie Lower, 5'11" SG, Clear Creek-Amana. She had 16 points and 7 rebounds in the semi win against North Polk. No ISU offer yet, but her offers include SDSU, Green Bay, and UNI. Nice article on her here: https://www.press-citizen.com/story...y-west-57-45-averie-lower-ighsau/71712702007/
Muller's offer from last August:
Is that because her grandfather (Ed Nahas) played basketball for Drake, or are there additional connections?Seeing Muller is a Nahas pulling her from Drake may be harder then you think.
