Manning, Lopreato named All-State

The Iowa Print Writers Association has announced its 2020-21 Iowa High School Girls Basketball All State team and there are two very familiar names on the list. Van Buren County star Isabel Manning has made the Class 2A first team, and Mt. Pleasant standout Andrea Lopreato was named to the Class 4A third squad.

Manning, a senior, was the most skilled scorer in the state of Iowa. She put up 30.2 points per game, beating out Southeast Iowa Super Conference rival Mya Merschman by 2.5 points for the title of the state's top scorer. She mad 11.6 field goals per game, which was tops in the state.

Manning was also the top rebounder in the SEISC, and 10th in the entire state of Iowa. She finished the year with 11. rebounds per game, including 4.2 offensive boards per contest.

Manning led the Warriors with 3.0 assists per game as well, and added 3.5 steals per game to her already impressive resume.

The VBC star was also third in the Miss Iowa voting. She will be continuing her basketball career at Clarke University next season.

Lopreato also had quite the resume. She finished ninth in Class 4A with 16.7 points per game, and took fifth in the class with 10.9 rebounds per game. She was one of just two players to finish in the Top-9 for both points and rebounds.

Lopreato dished out 1.8 assists per game, which was second best on her team. She also led the Panthers in thet wo major defensive categories, logging 2.9 steals per game and 1.2 blocks per game.

Waukee's Katie Dinnebier was named Miss Iowa Basketball 2021. The senior played just 12 games but averaged 19.1 points per game, 3.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.5 steals per game.

A Drake University signee, Dinnebier was at her best in the state tournament, scoring 20-plus points in all three games at Wells Fargo Arena. That included a 29-point effort (on 11-of-14 shooting) in the Warriors' 71-43 victory over Johnston in the 5A championship game Friday.
