Stokes named Iowa's Miss Basketball

UConn commit Kiah Stokes was named the winner of Miss Basketball in the state of Iowa.

Stokes, a 6-foot-3 senior forward/center from Linn-Mar High in Marion, averaged 25 points, 14.9 rebounds and 5.6 blocks as a senior. She finished her career with 1,704 points, 1,239 rebounds and an Iowa record 515 blocked shots.

Stokes is part of UConn's three-member incoming freshman class and a recruiting source said that UConn coach Geno Auriemma is planning to watch the other two signees (Brianna Banks and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis) play in state tournament games later this week.
