2024-25 Iowa Colony Basketball
10 -- IOWA COLONY PIONEERS
Talk about loaded.
The Iowa Colony Pioneers exploded on the Class 4A scene going 24-15 and winning their district last season. The Pioneers made history and reached the Regional Finals before falling to Stafford.
New coach Trent Olivier moves over from Pasadena Memorial and is blessed with talent.
“We have 13 kids on this team who can play,” Olivier said. “We are going to vary our lineups to our opponents and celebrate each other’s successes. It’s all about team. When you have a team full of guys who can make the extra pass, you have the chance at being really special.”
All-state guard BJ Gill returns along with running-mate RJ Green, who was all-region. Daylen Dalcour and Rodney Carter do the dirty work and are the glue guys, while Leon Graves and is a huge spark on offense.
Don’t sleep on big-man Jayden Evans, who will have an expanded role in 2025.
Moving to Class 5A will be a challenge, but the Pioneers are going to turn some heads.
