Five Teams Poised to Make a Big Jump in 2020:21

Looking ahead to 2020-21, Prep Hoops Wisconsin examines five teams who are poised to drastically improve their records from last season.   Appleton East 2019-20 Record: 4-18 The Patriots have to replace leading scorer Evan GlaserEvanGlaser6'6" | SFAppleton East | 2020StateWI, but there’s plenty of reason for optimism. East has one of the best backcourt in the Fox Valley Association in  Zach SteigenbergerZachSteigenberger6'0" | SGAppleton East | 2022StateWI (11.4 ppg) and Tyler BorowskiTylerBorowski6'0" | PGAppleton East | 2022StateWI (9.6 ppg) who are entering their junior seasons and each had strong summers. Junior forward Cade FeldhausenCadeFeldhausen6'6" | PFAppleton East | 2022StateWI (5.5) also gives the Patriots a strong and versatile post presence.   Appleton North 2019-20 Record: 8-15 Another riser in the Fox Valley Association, the Lightning were a young team in 2019-20 that still managed to beat both Neenah and Hortonville. Junior forward Maximus NelsonMaximusNelson6'7" | PFAppleton North | 2022StateWI (16.8 ppg) is back after a breakout season.  Sophomore guard Trent MullenTrentMullen5'9" | PGAppleton North | 2023StateWI (4.6 ppg) could be one of the most improved players in the league as well. Senior guard Anders Brekke (4.8 ppg) and junior wing Brock DonaldsonBrockDonaldson6'3" | SFAppleton North | 2022StateWI (2.4 ppg) should provide some nice depth as well.   Cedarburg 2019-20 Record: 14-9 The Bulldogs were competitive in a very competitive North Shore Conference last season.  Now, the Bulldogs will reload with one of the best 1-2 punches in the state. Purdue football commit Drew BiberDrewBiber6'3" | SFCedarburg | 2021StateWI (20.3 ppg) has added some major help in the form of  Brookfield Academy transfer Logan LandersLoganLanders6'9" | PFCedarburg | 2021StateWI.   Menonomee Falls 2019-20 Record: 10-14 All that talent that Falls has stockpiled over the last two seasons is now starting to grow up. A Greater Metro Conference title is probably out of reach, but this team can be very explosive in 2020-21. Top five juniors Steven ClayStevenClay6'5" | SFMenomonee Falls | 2022StateWI (21.3 ppg) and Seth TrimbleSethTrimble5'11" | PGMenomonee Falls | 2022StateWI (20.0 ppg) are both back this season. Between Greg KempGregKemp6'4" | PFMenomonee Falls | 2022StateWI, Grant MartinGrantMartin5'11" | CGMenomonee Falls | 2022StateWI, and a few other sleepers, Falls  is a team that nobody will look forward to playing.   Waukesha West 2019-20 Record: 13-12 This team was playing some really good ball towards the end of the season. West was supposed to go through a rebuilding year in 2019-20, but still won 13 games, including a 9-7 mark in a loaded Classic Eight Conference. Valparaiso commit Cameron PalesseCameronPalesse6'3" | CGWaukesha West | 2021State#249NationWIe (24.5 ppg) is back, as is pretty much all of his supporting cast.
