PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Amari McCottry Amari McCottry 6'5" | SF St. Thomas More | 2024 State #304 Nation WI
McCottry won the award as a sophomore after posting 23 points, eight rebounds, and four assists per game. A top five prospect in Wisconsin’s 2024 class, McCottry is a huge mismatch problem with his ability to score in isolation at 6-foot-6.
BREAKOUT PLAYER: Derrick Johnson Derrick Johnson 6'3" | CG Dominican | 2024 State WI
Think Johnson is in store with a big year. He was certainly terrific as a sophomore, posting 15 points per game, but think Johnson will absolutely stuff the stat sheet this winter. Johnson is one of the best shooters in the state, but also has a point guard feel on the ball and gets involved across the board.
SURPRISE PLAYER: Eric Ibarra
The Racine Lutheran guard averaged close to 12 points per game as a junior. Ibarra quietly had a nice all-around season, also ranking second in rebounding (4.1) and assists (2.6). Lutheran loses four of its top five scorers from last season, which puts a lot more on Ibarra’s plate.
