Division 1: All-State Teams

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Below are PGH Wisconsin’s Division 1 All-State Teams. The format is three guards and two forwards on every team, along with our Player of the Year. Below the All-State Teams are an All-Defensive Team and Honorable Mentions.</span> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">1st Team All-State</span></h2> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Forwards</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156050" first="Grace" last="Grocholski"]-5’10 F-’23-Kettle Moraine</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The future Arizona State Sun Devil capped off her junior season with a 34 point and nine-rebound performance in the Division 1 state title game. The Lazer dominated all season in the Classic 8 Conference and has already accomplished almost everything at this level. Grocholski averaged 21.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.3 steals per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">(POY) [player_tooltip player_id="155421" first="Emily" last="La Chapell"]-6’0 G/F-’22-Appleton East</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The senior from Appleton East is PGH Wisconsin’s Player of the year in Divison 1. LaChapell is a do-it-all wing who can score from anywhere in any fashion and defend all five positions at the high school level. The future Marquette Golden Eagle averaged 20.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game.</span> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Guards</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="189502" first="Allie" last="Ziebell"]-6’0 G-’24-Neenah</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">All Ziebell did as a sophomore was lead the state in scoring, break Neenah’s all-time scoring record, and help the Rockets upset No. 1 Hortonville in the postseason. There isn’t anything quite like watching Ziebell operate against elite defenses and still finding a way to make scoring 30 look normal. Ziebell averaged 30.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 3.6 steals per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="132372" first="Kamy" last="Peppler"]-5’7 G-’22-Hortonville</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The elder Peppler sister was named Ms. Basketball this season by the WBCA. The Polar Bear is everything you’d want in a point guard. The future UWM Panther can score over 30 if she needs to, or she can facilitate for her teammates at an elite level. Peppler averaged 13.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 3.3 steals.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Kamorea "KK" Arnold-5’10 PG-’23-Germantown</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The future Connecticut Huskie is one of the best high school players in the country. Arnold makes getting past an initial defender look as easy as breathing. Arnold averaged 24.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 4.4 steals per game.</span> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">2nd Team All-State</span></h2> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Forwards</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="262970" first="Alaina" last="Harper"]-6’3 F-’22-Arrowhead</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The future Grand Canyon forward was the crucial piece in Arrowhead’s defense. The Warhawks zone funneled everything toward Harper in the paint, and she was excellent at defending in the painted area. I don’t have all of Harper’s averages, but she averaged 14.4 points per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="132373" first="Jordan" last="Meulemans"]-6’0 G/F-’22-De Pere</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The future Butler Bulldog is one of the best scorers in Wisconsin. The senior will always be able to put up 30 in a game, whether it’s in the Big East or a random pick-up game. Meulemans averaged 25.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists.</span> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Guards</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156077" first="Annika" last="Pluemer"]-5’8 G-’23-Brookfield East</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pluemer is one of my personal favorite two-way guards around. The junior can defend at a high level and was the Spartans’ best scoring option all year. I would not be surprised to see Division 1 colleges heavily interested in her over the next 12 months. Pluemer averaged 17.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 2.5 steals per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="204131" first="Lily" last="Randgaard"]-5’10 G-’22-Kettle Moraine</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The future Western Illinois Leatherneck was born to score. Randgaard hit big shots all year for the Division 1 State Champions. The senior has no fear and will continue fighting at the next level for early playing time at Western Illinois. Randgaard averaged 13.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="374227" first="Rainey" last="Welson"]-5’9 G-’25-Hortonville</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">What Welson was able to do as a freshman this season was unbelievable. The Polar Bear led the team in scoring and was as efficient as anyone in the state doing so. A freshman contributing to winning on a heavily junior and senior latent team is wild. Welson averaged 15.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 2.6 steals per game.</span> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">3rd Team All-State</span></h2> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Forwards</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="338945" first="Makena" last="Christian"]-5’11 F-’25-Hartford</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hartford lost a few crucial pieces last season, and Christian excelled in the void that was left. The freshman averaged 19.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156067" first="Neveah" last="Thomas"]-6’0 F-’23-Kenosha Bradford</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Bradford forward was involved in everything for her team this season. Thomas averaged 20.2 points. 12.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 3.0 steals, and 3.0 blocks per game.</span> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Guards</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156076" first="Braelyn" last="Torres"]-5’8 G-’23-Kettle Moraine</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Lazer point guard is one of the best perimeter defenders in the state. Torres showed improvement in her offensive game this season and displayed all of her abilities in Green Bay. Torres averaged 14.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 3.4 steals per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="132377" first="Demetria" last="Prewitt"]-5’11 G/F-’22-Madison La Follette</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Lancer senior broke the school record for points in a season this year. Prewitt had an incredible game-winning putback on the road against Janesville Craig. If it weren’t for an odd season overall for La Follette, they likely would have made a deep postseason run. Prewitt averaged 18.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3.4 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game.</span> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156073" first="Sammi" last="Beyer"]-5’7 G-’23-Appleton East</span></strong> <span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Patriots’ point guard is one of the best shooters in Wisconsin. She continued to shoot well above 40% from behind the 3-point line and orchestrated a highly effective Appleton East offense this year. Beyer averaged 11.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.</span> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">All-Defensive Team</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="262970" first="Alaina" last="Harper"]</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156067" first="Neveah" last="Thomas"]</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="206727" first="Trinity" last="Mocadlo"]</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="266987" first="Shae" last="Kelley"]</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156076" first="Braelyn" last="Torres"]</span></strong> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Honorable Mention</span></h2> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="266984" first="Alexa" last="Kinas"]-’24-Kaukauna</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="132391" first="Ashley" last="Sawicki"]-’22-Waunakee</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="157531" first="Avree" last="Antony"]-’23-Sun Prairie</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="206579" first="Bella" last="Samz"]-’23-Arrowhead</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="209605" first="Claire" last="Bjorge"]-’24-De Pere</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="206576" first="Ellie" last="Magestro-Kennedy"]-’23-Janesville Craig</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="204134" first="Emilie" last="Wizner"]-’22-Germantown</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156088" first="Emma" last="Raye"]-’23-Superior</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="375236" first="Imani" last="Warren"]-’23-Milwaukee King</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="264954" first="Lexie" last="White"]-’23-Wausau West</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="132371" first="Lily" last="Hansford"]-’22-Appleton East</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="204159" first="Lyric" last="Johnson"]-’22-Hortonville</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="338942" first="Madison" last="Fitzgibbon"]-’25-Homestead</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="206574" first="Makenzie" last="Drout"]-’23-Kimberly</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="132386" first="Megan" last="Clary"]-’22-Wisconsin Rapids</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="266987" first="Shae" last="Kelley"]-’24-Brookfield East</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="207069" first="Ally" last="Timm"]-’24-Divine Savior Holy Angels</span></strong> <strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="156100" first="Emma" last="Jossie"]-’23-Stevens Point</span></strong>
