Audi Crooks named 2023 Miss Iowa Basketball; IPSWA Girls Basketball All-State Teams announced

DES MOINES — The Iowa Print Sports Writers Association (IPSWA) announced the 2023 girls basketball all-state teams on Tuesday. The teams were selected by Iowa print sports writers and basketball coaches during a meeting on Saturday, March 4.

Audi Crooks of Bishop Garrigan was selected as the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association’s Miss Iowa Basketball. The 6-foot-3 Iowa State Cyclone recruit concluded a fabulous high school career with 2,734 points to rank third behind Ella Ruffridge (Pocahontas Area) and Deb Remmerde (Rock Valley).

Although finishing behind those two guards, the Golden Bear center scored more field goals (1,195) than any other player in the five-player era. She also ripped down 1,339 rebounds in her career, also ranking No. 3 all-time.

Crooks set a new single-season record all-time for points in a season with 889 this winter. She also set new state tournament records for most points in a single game (49), most points in a tournament (117), most rebounds in a tournament (45) and rebounds in a career (160).

Crooks led her team to the Class 1A state title game all four years of her career, including state titles the past two years.

She was a member of the Class 1A all-tournament team in all four years and was named the captain in both 2020 and 2023. Bishop Garrigan went 101-8 in her high school career.

The Miss Basketball honor and the all-state teams are voted on by both sports writers and high school basketball coaches who attended the meeting. Nominations were taken in advance of the meeting online, as well as made during the selection meeting. Only one vote was allowed per class from each newspaper or school.

The Iowa Print Sports Writers Association greatly appreciates the assistance and participation from the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association.
