The Iowa high school girls basketball season has come to an end, and five state champions were crowned at the Casey’s Center on March 6 and 7.
Several of those title-winning teams were led by the best players in the state, like Johnston, which won its third-straight championship with an undefeated record. The level of competition in Iowa is at an all-time high, which doesn’t make choosing players for this list easy.
Some players were selected based on their regular season performances. Others made the cut because of how they played in the state tournament. Team success also factored into the decision.
The Des Moines Register’s All-Iowa list features one, all-class Elite Team, plus a six-person first team for each class. There are also 20 honorable mentions selected from all five classes.
Here is who made the 2025-26 All-Iowa girls basketball team.
Players are listed alphabetically by last name.
Elite Team
Braylyn Birmingham, So., Norwalk
There is no denying that Birmingham’s game took a big step up this season, and the Warriors reaped the benefits. The 5-foot-11 guard led Norwalk (22-3) back to the Class 4A state semifinals, and she led the state with 745 points. She averaged 29.8 points – while shooting 52% overall – 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
Macy Comito, Sr., Carlisle
The 5-foot-9 guard — and Iowa State signee — led the Wildcats to their first girls basketball state championship. She capped her high school career with a 26-1 overall record in her senior season, and she averaged 20.7 points, 3.1 assists, 3.1 steals and 2.9 rebounds. Her point total includes a 42-point performance against Bishop Heelan in the state semifinals, setting a new Class 4A tournament record for the most points scored in a single game.
Izzy Eisbach, Sr., Nodaway Valley
Fans of Iowa high school girls basketball were lucky enough to witness several athletes surpass the 2,000-point benchmark this season, and Eisbach achieved the honor. She scored 736 points in her senior season, and Eisbach concludes her high school career with 2,270 points. During her senior year, she averaged 32 points, 5.7 rebounds, five steals, 3.3 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.
Rowan Jacobi, Sr., Springville
And here is the another Iowa girls basketball player to score 2,000 points. Jacobi recorded 2,100 points during her high school career, scoring no fewer than 500 points in each of the last three seasons. The 6-foot-3 forward is headed to South Dakota for college basketball, but in her last year in the high school ranks, she averaged 27 points, 13.7 rebounds, 3.8 steals, 2.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game.
Jenica Lewis, Sr., Johnston
There are not many players who have won three state championships while in high school, let alone three in a row. Lewis helped the Dragons claim back-to-back-to-back titles, while posting a 79-0 overall record through those three years, with the 5-foot-11 guard going 103-2 in her career. In her final season at Johnston, the Notre Dame signee averaged 20.6 points, six rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game.
Ellie Muller, Sr., Dowling
The 6-foot-3 forward put together one of her best seasons of basketball in her senior year, helping Dowling to a 21-4 overall record and another appearance in the state tournament. Muller – who will head to Missouri next year – led her team with 17.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game.
