The Des Moines Register’s All-Iowa team recognized some of the best players in the state, and they definitely deserve the spotlight. The elite athletes include a mix of exceptional talents who not only played with heart but also brought their A-game to every match.

The All-Iowa team highlights feature six all-class Elite Team athletes, alongside 11 first-team players for each class and 15 honorable mentions. It’s a significant honor to be recognized among the best, and these athletes did not come to play — they came to dominate!

Notable Performers

Among the stars, Dorsey from Assumption truly shone this season. With an eye-popping total of 37 goals and 14 assists, she capped her senior year with a stunning 88 points. Such a remarkable performance surely made her an indispensable part of her team’s success.

Then there’s Jones, also from Assumption, who proved to be an excellent team player with three goals and nine assists. Her ability to set up her younger teammates shows what a great leader she is—one that looks beyond personal glory to lift the whole team up. Her contributions, while underscore her skills, also highlight the importance of teamwork.

Martin from the Jaguars had an impressive season as well, scoring 16 goals and making 16 assists, which was crucial in guiding her team to the state tournament semifinal. It’s great to see talented athletes like her make such a significant impact on their team’s journey!

Record-Setting Talents

Defensive Dynamos

Don’t underestimate the value of a strong defense! Williamson from Dallas Center-Grimes played a key defensive role during all four of their consecutive state championship wins. Contributing two goals and one assist this season, her defensive prowess helped her team achieve an outstanding total of 15 shutouts. What a backbone for a champion team!
