1. Dbq Senior - vet team ready to roll
2 SC East - just dominate western Iowa 4a
3. Dowling - alot back add a good transfer , bingo
4. Cedar Falls - should survive a tough road
5. DM North - young talent will be fun to watch
6. Waukee - deep talent at every level
7. CR Praire - close last year better this year
8. North Scott - sleepy team with easy path
9. WDM Valley - always has players
10. Iowa City West - Ihsaa guys love their Hawkeyes , will get free ride to state
Dowling might be scary good and front runner. SC East has many returning starters from 3rd place team and is set up for another run. DM North might just blow everyone away with all that talent. Interesting field and up for grabs.
Did the transfer to Dowling change school in the last few weeks so as to get the 90 days in before next season?1. Dbq Senior - vet team ready to roll

Davenport West Fall League has a handful of these teams in it...Tony Roe's Early Top 10
1. IC West- PMac and a stable of quality players will be ready to go. Back to Back?
2. Sioux City East- Rees and Vanderloo lead a hungry and experienced squad.
3. Dubuque Senior- Carter and Stevens to go with some very solid role players.
4. Cedar Falls- Green to make a run at Mr. Basketball? Club around AJ is athletic and tough.
5. Valley- They are always in the mix like West. Can Brinkmeyer put up big numbers?
6. Waukee- Johnson, Jones, and Hart. This team has the tools to win it all.
7. Pleasant Valley- Excellent defensive team that makes your earn everything.
8. Dubuque Hempstead- Got a taste of Des Moines last year. Duax and Johnson can play with anyone.
9. Linn Mar- Return 6 of 9 top scorers and one of the best juniors in the state in Hutcheson. Haven't been to Des Moines in a while, so they are due.
10. Des Moines Hoover- Elite defensive club that is always a factor.
Lots of strong teams in 4A this season. Is this the year Waukee breaks through and wins it all?
Davenport West Fall League has a handful of these teams in it...
IC West beat Davenport West by 20ish today.
IC West beat Davenport North with a 3 and only 5 seconds left winning 74-71.
Davenport North beat Dubuque Senior 60-58 after trailing up most of the game until about 5 minutes left.
Dubuque Senior also played a Moline squad that would be Top 10 if in Iowa. Didn't get the score.
Pleasant Valley played CR Kennedy and was leading by 12 when I left mid first half.
(Liberty, Assumption, and Mt. Pleasant will also be making appearances in the coming weeks. Moline will be a good test for Liberty out of the gate next week.)
As we know Cedar Falls won the Justin Sharp Shootout over PV in the summer by 13.
Waukee went 4-1 in the tournament with a loss to North Scott by 10.
North Scott beat Waukee and had a 3 point loss to Cedar Falls and 3rd place loss to Rock Island.
Pleasant Valley went 4-1 with wins over East Moline, Rock Falls, Rock Island, and Bettendorf.
Davenport North went 4-1 with a 2 point loss to Waukee. Wins by 20 and 28 over Dav Central and CR Jefferson.
CR Jefferson went 3-2 beating Assumption for Iowa teams.
Dubuque Senior finished 2-3 with only Stevens from the core group.
CR Wash and IC High Red/White didn't have good showings. Both ICH teams were in the 0-2 round robin. CR Wash was in the loser bracket going 2-3 or 3-2.
Bettendorf and Dav Central had mixed results. Bettendorf won 2 beating DBQ Senior, got thumped by PV without Carton, and Lost to RI and West Delaware. Dav Central won and then lost by 8 to CF. Beat Moline(Missing best players). Lost by 20 to Dav North. Lost to East Moline.
So we have had a nice sample of play in eastern Iowa. CR Prairie, Linn Mar, Waterloo West, Waterloo East, and Dubuque Hempstead are the teams that I am interested to see or know how they look.
Thanks for the insight. I knew Hempstead as going to be good as well Linn Mar, but didn't know if anyone had seen those teams this summer with comparisons or scores to the teams that I have mentioned and seen.Hempstead is loaded with experienced talent and young talent. They can play with anybody. It will be interesting to see if the state splits them from Senior in sub state play...they definitely should because both of those teams could win a state title this year! Prairie, LM, and Waterloo West should be strong teams this year that are capable of getting to state.
