Creston senior swingman Luke Neitzel earned third-team all-state honors on the Iowa Newspapers Association Class 3A all-state team.

It marks the first time the 6-2 senior has earned INA all-state honors in basketball.

“He’s put a lot of time in over the years, and this just kind of goes to show the success he had and we had,” Creston head coach Billy Hiatt said. “Lots of times Luke didn’t have real high numbers as far as scoring points, but he did the little things like assists and rebounding the ball. He did a lot of little things to help us have success and I’m very happy for him.
