Feb. 2—WAGNER, S.D. — Ashlyn Koupal's lengthy prep basketball resume gained another accolade on Monday afternoon.
Koupal, the University of Nebraska signee and top-25 national recruit for the class of 2026, was announced as one of the 24 players selected to play in the prestigious McDonald's All-American game later this spring.
The Wagner product is the first girls basketball player in South Dakota history to be picked for the renowned all-star showcase set for Tuesday, March 31, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The inaugural girls McDonald's All-American game took place at New York City's Madison Square Garden in 2002.
Tabbed as a five-star prospect, No. 13 nationally, by the 247Sports composite rankings, Koupal is averaging 28.4 points, 15.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 4.7 blocks and 2.6 steals per game this season. The versatile 6-foot-3 forward/guard's efforts have helped Wagner to an 11-2 start and the No. 4 ranking in Class A, per the South Dakota Prep Media poll. Already a top-15 scorer in state history for girls basketball, Koupal currently rests at 2,308 points ahead of a Tuesday night trip to play Hanson in Alexandria.
Notably, Koupal will be joined on the 12-person West region roster by Maddyn Greenway, daughter of Mount Vernon native Chad Greenway. Maddyn Greenway, who plays for Providence Academy in Plymouth, Minnesota, captured national attention over the weekend for reaching 5,000 career high school points. Greenway is a signee for the University of Kentucky.
