One player separated herself as the top rim protector this winter for the Adel-Desoto-Minburn Tigers girls basketball team. Senior Emma Jacobsen closed her high school career with a team-best 12 blocks. The rest of her team combined for 16 swats with sophomores Grace Hardcastle and AJ Smith registering four each. Five of Jacobsen’s 12 blocks came in ADM’s two-game Raccoon River Conference season series against the Ballard Bombers. She tallied a career-high three blocks in ADM’s 52-48 overtime victory over the Bombers on November 30. Jacobsen added two more swats to her total in their 47-32 setback to Ballard on January 17. Jacobsen is one of four seniors who assisted the ADM girls basketball team in recording their best season in recent memory at 15 wins and nine loss. The other expected 2019 graduates include Kristen Baier, Anna Kenny, and Grace McCartney.
