Fourteen total players were honored throughout the lists, with Prairie City-Monroe landing five players, Lynnville-Sully totalling four, Collins-Maxwell-Baxter landing three and Colfax-Mingo landing two.

Junior Dillon Bruxvoort knew he had some big shoes to fill after his brother Scott's graduation, but he made a statement with the Mustangs' lone first team selection.

Bruxvoort averaged 10.2 points per game, putting him with the four other players that scored at least 10 per game. He also led the team in rebounds (6.4 per game), assists (79), steals (64), blocks (37) and field goals made (106). In the Mustangs' district championship loss to Pella Christian, Bruxvoort led the team with 15 points.

Making the second team for PCM was a pair of seniors in Michael Neff and Ethan Kain. Neff finished with 10.6 points per game and had the third-best shooting percentage on the team at a clip of 47.3. He also finished third with 4.4 rebounds per game and fourth in assists with 38.

Kain was the team’s 3-point specialist for the season, hitting 24 shots for a percentage of 37.5 and averaging a total of 10.5 points per game. Usually running the point, Kain finished second on the team with 64 total assists and 43 steals. Despite playing the guard position, he also still finished fourth on the team in rebounds with 3.3.

Another pair of seniors, Alex DeWitte and Nate Vande Wall, rounded out the Mustangs’ selections on the honorable mention list.
