BOYS BASKETBALL ATHLETE OF THE YEAR “ Caleb is just such a special player. He has the rare ability to shoot, pass, finish at the rim, rebound and block shots. Sometimes you get to coach a player who can do a combination of those things, but to do them all at the level he can do them is just remarkable. ” CAMANCHE COACH JOSH DAVIS CALEB DELZELL CAMANCHE SENIOR Delzell, the 2019 Player of the Year, continued to be a mainstay in a Camanche team that made a run to third place in the Class 2A state tournament. In a loaded River Valley Conference, Delzell was the second leading scorer with 14.6 points a game. He shot over 57 percent from the field, including an astounding 39 percent from three-point range, draining 27-for-70 despite his normal position in the lane. Delzell also led the entire conference in rebounding, pulling down 8.5 a contest. Camanche averaged over 37 boards a game, leading all of Class 2A by nearly five rebounds. Delzell ended with 47 blocks (second in the conference) and 73 assists (tenth in the conference) with 36 steals as well. Delzell is a 2020 McDonalds All-American nominee and earned 1st Team All-State honors. Delzell finished in the top five all-time in both rebounding and scoring at Camanche. 10 CHAPYAwards | 2019-2020
