IOWA CITY, Iowa — Our #19 prep team of the century is the 2007-08 boys basketball team from City High. That season the Little Hawks went 28-1, winning a 4A State championship.
The Little Hawks’ only loss came to the eventual 3A State champions in Dubuque Wahlert.
Future Hawkeye Matt Gatens was the team’s leading scorer and won Mr. Basketball that season.
This year we’re celebrating the best of the best from the sports world in Eastern Iowa over the last 25 years. The over-arcing theme of this series will be “The Stories of the Century”. During this year, we’ll count down the top 25 athletes, coaches, and teams from the past 25 years.
The year will be divided up into fourths, with the first portion of the year being dedicated to the best athletes (both high school and college) from the last 25 years.
Every Monday we’ll be releasing two more prep athletes, and every Wednesday we’ll announce two college athletes who will be added to the list.
