Davenport (Iowa) North coach Paul Rucker knew right away that Divine Bourrage was going to be a can't miss women's basketball star. “From the time she came in as a freshman, you knew she was going to be a special player,” Rucker told KWQC 6. “What she’s done over the last three years is continually growing. Sometimes when you have great players, they rest on their laurels. She doesn’t do that. With her, the potential for her is off the charts.” Her high school coach also praised Bourrage's work ethic. “We don’t have to chase Divine to get her to work," Rucker said. "She is going to have a ball in her hands in some gym – it may be a church, it could be at the West Y, it may be at another school in our conference having a pickup game.” Bourrage was named Iowa’s Gatorade Player of the Year after the 2023-2024 season. She averaged 19.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists and three steals this past season, leading Davenport North to a 22-3 record, a Mississippi Athletic Conference title and an Iowa Class 5A state tournament quarterfinals appearance.
