Jaidyn Coon has been busy on the court this month for the Storm Lake boys basketball team.
Coon and the Tornadoes are off to a strong start, sitting at 11-1 overall heading into a Tuesday night matchup with vs. Cherokee.
The 6-foot-6 junior is considered one of the top prospects in the state of Iowa, showcasing exceptional skills to go along with a 33.5-inch vertical and 6-foot-8 wingspan. Coon currently averages 22.2 points per game on 55 percent shooting from the field, adding eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block.
Over the weekend, Coon took time off playing to take an unofficial visit to Creighton University according to social media posts. Coon watched as the Bluejays battled Seton Hall in Omaha on Saturday, winning 79-54.
