Oakley Witteck | De Pere | 5’7 Junior
Witteck is playing a huge role for her team this season and has shown some serious glimpses of how elite she can be at this level and the next. In her game this season against Bay Port, the junior dropped 14 points for her team. As the season continues and she is able to play more games, look for Witteck to continue to be a threat. In her game this season she showed play making ability, smart shot selection and ability to play high pressure defense the entire game.
Gracie Grzesk Gracie Grzesk 6'0" | SF Green Bay Notre Dame | 2024 State WI | Notre Dame | 5’11 Freshman
Grzesk could easily be in the post category on a team like this but it is so important to recognize how fast her stock is rising in the guard position. Her ability to handle the ball at her height is incredible to see. The freshman is so comfortable on the floor and clearly has a very high basketball IQ. Her shot selection is smart. She’s extremely athletic and has great balance and footwork with or without the ball. She is strong and versatile already with such a high ceiling at this level. Her ability to finish through contact is impressive as well. She is averaging 13 points per game this season. In a win over Appleton East, Grzesk finished with 19 points.
Jordan Meulemans Jordan Meulemans 5'10" | CG De Pere | 2022 State WI | De Pere | 6’0 Junior
The junior has been a standout athlete since she stepped in the De Pere gym as a freshman- but her game has not stopped evolving since. An incredible athlete with such well developed skills, Meulemans is so talented. She utilizes her length on the floor and can score from all three levels. She is poised with the ball and can isolate her defender with her technique on the perimeter. She can rise above most defenders due to her athletics and clean release. She utilizes jabs well to get her defender off balance and has great IQ to quickly choose a move afterwards. This season she is averaging nearly 22 points per game. In a win over Oshkosh West, Muelemans finished with 25 points. She is leading the Fox River Classic conference in scoring and holds over 10 division one offers.
Sophie Vandeyacht | Bay Port | 5’8 Senior
The senior is a complete floor general for this team and has been working well with her other guards on the floor this season. She has very elite court vision and ability to find her teammates on a dime. Her movement with the ball is exceptional- she has well developed handles and is not frazzled by pressure defense. She’s stepped up this season on the offensive end and proven she can score in multiple ways. Vandeyacht is averaging 8 points per game this season. In a win over Ashwaubenon she finished with 15 points.
Jamira Olson | Ashwaubenon | 5’7 Senior
Olson is a player who is really going to be doing it all for this Ashwaubenon team. Undoubtedly the senior leader- Olson has had to step up offensively in the first few games this season. She’s shown glimpses of elite playmaking ability off the dribble. She’s added a lot of craft to her game this season and is finding unique ways to score the basketball. Look for her to increase her points per game as she starts knocking down more shots with consistency. In a win over Sheboygan Falls, Olson scored 9 points for her team. Her stock continues to rise on defense as well as she’s incredibly scrappy and can defend coast to coast.
Sammy Opichka Sammy Opichka 5'11" | CG Green Bay Notre Dame | 2021 State WI | Notre Dame | 5’11 Senior
The senior continues to rise her stock as well and has transitioned well into the lead guard position for this team. She seems much more comfortable so far this season at the point guard position which has been fun to see. She’s patient and poised on the floor while still playing with extremely high energy. She’s been a huge asset offensively and can score inside and out. Her shot is smooth and quick- very hard to defend. She needs little to no space to knock it down. The St. Thomas’ commit is averaging 19 points per game for Notre Dame. In a win over West De Pere, Opichka finished with 26 points.
Ashlyn Szymanski | Pulaski | 5’7 Junior
Another junior who has had to play a larger role on the court this season. The Pulaski standout is a two way guard who could easily be a spark plug for this program. She is averaging 14 points per game in the first few matchups this season. In a tough game against De Pere, she scored 11 points. Szymanski showed impressive energy and tempo on the floor. She pushes the ball in transition and is comfortable getting up and down. She gets her teammates involved and can be counted on for multiple assists per game. She’s a scrappy defender as well and saw some impressive deflections in the first couple games.
