DES MOINES — The Iowa Print Sports Writers Association (IPSWA) announced the 2021 girls basketball all-state teams on Tuesday. The teams were selected by print sports writers in Iowa during a virtual meeting on Sunday, March 7.
Katie Dinnebier, of Waukee, was selected as Miss Iowa Basketball 2021.
Dinnebier played in only 12 games in an abbreviated season for the Class 5A state-champion Warriors (13-1).
She averaged 19.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.5 steals per game, shooting 56.4 percent from the field, 45.7 percent from 3-point range and 83.0 percent from the free throw line.
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.
The 5-foot-8 point guard scored 979 points in her career, in which Waukee went 73-14 and reached the state tournament all four years. The Warriors were 5A runners-up in 2020.
