DES MOINES — The Iowa Print Sports Writers Association (IPSWA) announced the 2021 boys basketball all-state teams on Tuesday. The teams were selected by print sports writers in Iowa during a virtual meeting on Saturday, March 13.
Tucker DeVries, of Waukee, was selected as Mr. Iowa Basketball 2021 by the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association.
DeVries is a Drake University commit, where he’ll play for his father and Drake head coach Darian DeVries. He selected Drake over Creighton, Iowa State and Oregon.
On a Waukee Warriors team that won its first state title this year and featured three other Division I recruits, DeVries led scoring this season with 18.5 points per game while also averaging 6.6 rebounds per game and 5.6 assists per game. He ended his career with 1,092 points for the Warriors in 67 total games.
“Tucker DeVries represents all that is good about Iowa high school basketball,” Waukee head coach Justin Ohl said. “He is a fierce competitor, tremendous leader and talented player. Tucker’s shot making ability and overall skill set are a result of the countless hours he has put in over the course of his high school career.”
