Hawkeye-Signee and Cedar Rapids Star is Miss Iowa Basketball
Cedar Rapids Washington's Hannah Stuelke is Iowa's Miss Basketball 2022.
Selected during all-state voting on Saturday by the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association, Stuelke made it a pretty easy choice with the gaudy numbers she put up this season for the Warriors.
The senior averaged 29.1 points per game to lead the state in scoring and hauled in 10.3 rebounds per contest, as the Warriors went 16-7.
Despite the statistics she racked up this season, Stuelke wasn't sure if she'd win the award, as she told The Cedar Rapids Gazette:
This was one of my goals, but since we didn’t make it to state, I didn’t know.
She had the track record to stay on notice with voters though, finishing her career with 1,793 points and 853 rebounds. Washington posted a 55-28 record over her tenure as a Warrior.
A 6-foot-2 forward and member of the All-Iowa Attack AAU team, she is the first winner of the award from the Cedar Rapids area since Linn-Mar’s Kiah Stokes won it in 2011.
Though she accomplished this goal, she's ready to prove herself when she joins the Iowa Hawkeye women's basketball team this year, as she told The Gazette.
They’re looking really good, and they don’t lose many players. I’m going to stay in shape. Ball handling, that’s a big part of what I’m going to work on. The girls are going to be faster, stronger, and smarter at that level.
