Continue ReadingThe Class of 2022 is heavy on the forwards at the top, but there are numerous good options at the lead guard spot for impact players. Out of the 150 players that we have 44 point guards ranked in the rankings. Retaining her top spot as the top point guard in the class is Ava Hawthorne Ava Hawthorne 5'10" | PG Gilbert | 2022 State IA . She’s a dynamic playmaking guard who showed the entire state her scoring ability in the state tournament. Hawthorne is also one of the top five players in the entire state right now and I don’t envision her slipping out of the top five at any point. Her services at the next level are highly sought after.
After Hawthorne you then have a good run of scoring ball handlers in Allie Meadows Allie Meadows 5'8" | PG Central DeWitt | 2022 State IA , Jada Williams Jada Williams 5'8" | PG Mason City | 2022 State IA , and Brooke Loewe Brooke Loewe 5'7" | PG Ballard | 2022 State IA . All three of these players haven’t necessarily had to do the bulk of the scoring for their team at the high school level but they certainly have the capability to do so. These three plus Hawthorne round out the top 15 overall as far as the point guards go in the class. After those four players, there are still talented players on the table at the lead guard spot.
There are a lot of talented point guards ranked in the 20’s too. Amaya Davison Amaya Davison 5'5" | PG Des Moines Roosevelt | 2022 State IA , Trinity Cheatom Trinity Cheatom 5'5" | PG Des Moines Roosevelt | 2022 State IA , Sarah Albaugh Sarah Albaugh 5'8" | SF Cedar Falls | 2022 State IA , Emma Ingersoll-Weng Emma Ingersoll-Weng 5'6" | PG Iowa City West | 2022 State IA , and Amanda Treptow Amanda Treptow 5'4" | PG Jesup | 2022 State IA are the point guards who round out the top nine positionally. Davison, Cheatom, and Ingersoll-Weng are quick point guards who can push it up the floor quickly but can also get to the rim and score. Albaugh and Treptow are also very solid point guards but can shoot the ball at a very high rate. There are a lot of options for a college to grab a solid point guard in the 2022 class throughout the state. Ivey Schmidt Ivey Schmidt 5'7" | PG Grinnell | 2022 State IA is the 10th ranked point guard in the class and even she is a very solid ball-handler and scorer. With 44 point guards listed in this update of the rankings there will be more than enough players to go around for schools in the Midwest.
