A 5-foot-9 senior, Hughes is one of just three girls on this list that’s averaging a double-double. The scoring is her specialty, but she can rebound with the best of them, too, as demonstrated by her 10.5 boards per game. We like how efficient she’s been this season while shooting it, 52 percent from the floor and 42 percent from deep.
2 Sharon Goodman, Crestwood — 24.5
At 6-foot-3, the Crestwood senior certainly knows how to exploit smaller opponents, but it takes more than just height to put in shots at a 66 percent clip. Goodman — an Iowa Hawkeyes recruit — not only has the skills to score it and to do so efficiently, but she’s also the leading rebounder (14.5) in the state, regardless of class.
3 Amanda Smith, Tipton — 20.6
As a junior, Smith averaged 13.1 points per game and had some struggles shooting the ball. This season, she’s upped her scoring average by nearly seven points per game, and, not coincidentally, has bettered her shooting percentage by by nearly 13 percent, up to 56.3%.
T4 Sara Faber, Clear Lake — 20.2
Faber’s Lions are ranked No. 4 in Class 3A, and it’s her prowess, on both sides of the ball, that’s been the catalyst for the success. Her 3.4 steals per game are among the best in the state, Faber’s also leading the Lions in rebounding.
T4 Maggie Phipps, North Polk — 20.2
North Polk has its sight set on a state title, and it’ll be sophomore sensation Maggie Phipps that will be leading the charge. PGHIA’s 2nd-ranked 2021, Phipps is one of the elite players not just in the sophomore class, but in the state, period.
6 Kylee Sanders, Louisa-Muscatine — 18.1
Another sophomore, like Maggie Phipps, Sanders has a lot of time left to terrorize opponents. The 5-foot-7 wing has been as good, if not better, on the defensive end, swiping a state-best 5.3 steals per game.
7 Kallyn Stumbo, Okoboji — 17.8
A stat-stuffer extraordinaire, Stumbo’s scoring is a plus, but it’s just one part in a multitude of talents. The 5-foot-8 wing — Iowa’s 18th-ranked 2020 — is leading her 10th-ranked Pioneers in assists, steals, blocks, rebounds, and yes, scoring.
8 Deseree Stubbe, Clarke, Osceola — 17.6
The 6-2 Indians are piecing together a splendid season, winners of five in a row heading into their holiday break. And Stubbe has been sensational to start the season, going for 17.6 points, 2.4 assists, 2.9 steals and 7.4 rebounds per game.
9 Mya Merschman, Central Lee, Donnellson — 17.0
The state’s 7th-ranked squad, Central Lee is off to a blistering 10-2 start, and Mya Merschman has been having a breakout season in the process. She was great as a freshman, going for 11.7 points per game, and has taken her game to the next level this season.
10 Brielle Baker, Creston — 16.9
A top-50 prospect in Iowa’s 2019 class, Baker has been at the helm of the Panthers’ 5-3 start to the season. She’s posting strong numbers across the board, going for 3.1 assists, 3.1 steals and 6.5 rebounds, in addition to her high impact scoring.
