PRESEASON MVP: John Kinziger John Kinziger 6'0" | CG De Pere | 2023 State #257 Nation WI
Kinziger was denied a trip to the state tournament by Menomonee Falls last season. He’s going to come into the winter with a chip on his shoulder and another loaded roster around him. Kinziger might be known for his shooting, but he’s a much more well-rounded player, specifically defensively, than he gets credit for.
Highlights
Runner-up: Mac Wrecke Mac Wrecke 6'5" | SG Arrowhead | 2023 State #272 Nation WI
TOUGHEST TO LEAVE OUT: Matthew Schmainda Matthew Schmainda 6'2" | CG Brookfield East | 2023 State WI
Struggled with this one a lot. Came down to not being able to take anybody out. Schmainda averaged 17 points and three assists per game as a junior. With Dan Gherezgher having moved on, Schmainda’s numbers could explode. If the Spartans can bolster their 12-14 record from a year ago, Schmainda is probably a safe bet to make the postseason list.
Runner-up: William Whorton William Whorton 6'8" | PF Rufus King | 2023 State WI
SLEEPER: Quinton Lomack Quinton Lomack 6'1" | CG Madison La Follette | 2024 WI
He might not lead La Follette in scoring, but Lomack could be the straw that stirs the drink for what’s expected to be a very good Lancer squad. A big, strong point guard that can get downhill and create for himself and others, Lomack is coming off a very good summer and is a big reason why La Follette could be even better than their 19-5 season a year ago. If the Lancers can repeat as Big Eight champs and make it deep into March, there’s room for two La Follette guards on this list.
Runner-up: Collin Madson Collin Madson 6'4" | PG Mukwonago | 2023 State WI , Max Tutas
PLAYER NOT ON THE LIST TO WATCH: Cooper Jesperson Cooper Jesperson 6'2" | SG Eau Claire Memorial | 2025 State WI
This is probably a rebuilding year for Eau Claire Memorial, who lost their top three scorers from 2021-22, all college prospects as well. Jesperson averaged six points per game and nailed 44 triples as a freshman. Over the summer, he established himself as a top 10-12 prospect in a deep 2025 class in Wisconsin.
Runner-up: Reid Tengbland (Holmen), Aidan Konop Aidan Konop 6'2" | SG Sussex Hamilton | 2024 State WI (Sussex Hamilton), Eli Podoll Eli Podoll 6'1" | PG Franklin | 2024 State WI (Franklin), Jonathan O’Neil (Kaukauna)
