MOC-Floyd Valley Beats Storm Lake 67-54 in Class 4A Regional Quarterfinal

Avery DeHaan poured in 33 points but visiting Storm Lake could not overcome a blistering start from MOC‑Floyd Valley and fell 67-54 in the Class 4A regional quarterfinal at MOC‑Floyd Valley High School in Orange City on Feb. 19, 2026. The loss ended Storm Lake’s postseason run at that bracket stage and sent the Dutchmen into the next round.

MOC‑Floyd Valley opened the game with a 27-point first quarter while Storm Lake managed 15, a margin the host held throughout. "The Lady Dutch made 10-of-11 shots including five 3-pointers in a 27 point first quarter as they built a 13 point lead after the first eight minutes of the game," the local recap noted, and the quarter-by-quarter line shows MOC‑Floyd Valley 27-12-10-18, 67, Storm Lake 15-11-12-16, 54.

MOC‑Floyd Valley got a game-high 20 points from Ady Jeltema and finished with what local coverage described as their 15th win of the year. Storm Lake countered largely through DeHaan, who finished 11-of-23 from the floor and 7-of-17 from 3-point range. Reports list a teammate as Regan DeHaan adding nine points (Sioux City Journal captions use the spelling Reagan), and Grace Kenkel scored eight.

The Tornadoes chipped into the margin later, trailing by as many as 16 in the third quarter and closing to 57-50 with 3:30 remaining, but Storm Lake could not complete the comeback. "The Tornadoes trailed by as many as 16 in the 3rd quarter and would get as close as 57-50 with 3:30 to go but the Lady Dutch led from wire to wire picking up their 15th win of the year," one account summarized.

Season records reported in published accounts differ: the local Storm Lake recap lists the Tornadoes finishing the year 10-11 and names four graduating seniors, Avery DeHaan, Grace Kenkel, Cole Richardson, and Abby Bodholdt, while MaxPreps reports Storm Lake’s defeat dropped their record to 11-11. MOC‑Floyd Valley’s season total is likewise listed variously, with local copy noting the win as the Dutchmen’s 15th and MaxPreps listing a 15-10 record and a recent run of six wins in eight games.

MOC‑Floyd Valley will next host Sioux Center, with MaxPreps noting the Warriors have scored at least 55 points in each of their last three contests. Sioux City Journal’s game gallery captured several key moments, including Jeltema driving to the hoop and Kate Kleinhesselink attempting a 3-pointer, as the Dutchmen closed out the regional quarterfinal in Orange City.
