RAPIDS, Iowa -- Highland
High School standout Rebecca Lampe has signed a letter of intent
to play basketball at Mount Mercy College, Head Women’s
Basketball Coach Shawn Stimmel announced.
Lampe, a 6-0
guard, averaged 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and four
steals per game over the final two years of her prep career. As
a junior, she was an Iowa Class 1A second-team all-state pick
by the Iowa Girls’ Coaches Association (IGCA) and third-team
all-state choice by the Des Moines Register after leading Highland
to a 17-5 record and state tournament berth. Lampe was an IGCA
first-team all-state selection and third-team all-state honoree
by the Register as a senior.
Lampe, the
daughter of Dennis and Ann Lampe, was a two-time first-team all-district
pick by the IGCA. She was also a two-time first-team all-South
East Iowa Super Conference selection and two-time SISC North Division
Player of the Year.
“Becca
had a great high school career and knows the game of basketball,”
Stimmel said. “She uses her size well and we’ll look
to take advantage of that even more. We’re excited to add
another player to our recruiting class from a winning program
and one that has played at a very high level. We’re expecting
good things from Becca.”
Lampe, who
will also play volleyball at Mount Mercy, is the second Highland
prep to join the Mustang women’s basketball program. Teammate
Kristi Branham will play for Mount Mercy as well, along with Adrian
Nelson of Oelwein High School and Terri Dirks of Monticello High
School.
