Division 5: All-State Teams

Below are PGH Wisconsin’s three Division 5 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. <h2>1st Team All-State</h2> <h2>Forwards</h2> (POY) [player_tooltip player_id="206731" first="Lily" last="Truchon"]-5’11 F-’23-South Shore PGH Wisconsin’s Division 5 Player of the Year is South Shore’s, [player_tooltip player_id="206731" first="Lily" last="Truchon"]. The playmaking forward had an outstanding season scoring 24.2 points per game (7th in Wisconsin), grabbed 11.2 rebounds per game, dished out three assists per game, earned 4/5 steals per night, and blocked 2.1 shots per contest. If you got a chance to see any game that South Shore played this season, you had to notice the 5-foot-11 playmaking forward. [player_tooltip player_id="264942" first="Jorey" last="Buwalda"]-6’0 F-’23-Randolph The Rocket was a crucial contributor to this season’s Division 5 champion. Buwalda had an outstanding season where she scored 19.3 points per game and grabbed 9.3 rebounds per night. The junior was a threat whenever she got the ball. Her passing created issues for defenses all season, and her strength helped her dominate in the paint. <h2>Guards</h2> [player_tooltip player_id="374230" first="Addy" last="Verhagen"]-5’4 PG-’25-Sheboygan Lutheran The freshman came into high school and immediately became one of the best guards in the state. Verhagen scored 17.4 points per game and finished the season No. 7 in the state with her 6.4 assists per game average. The scary part about Verhagen is that she’s only going to get better. [player_tooltip player_id="156079" first="Lindsay" last="Steien"]-5’9 G-’23-Blair-Taylor The Blair-Taylor junior finished as the No. 3 scorer in the state with 28.2 points per game. Steien was everywhere for the Wildcats this season, grabbing 6.7 rebounds and dishing out five assists per game. Watch her senior season and expect Blair-Taylor to make a run for a state title next season. Lauryn Deetz-5’4 G-’22-McDonell Central The Mack had her senior season cut short due to injury in the state semifinal due to injury. That said, her season was excellent. Deetz scored 16.9 points in her final season and pulled down seven rebounds this year. She earned co-conference player of the season this year in the Cloverbelt-West. <h2>2nd Team All-State</h2> <h2>Forwards</h2> [player_tooltip player_id="347159" first="Brooke" last="Lechleitner"]-6’0 F-’22-Lake Holcombe The future Central Connecticut player led her team in every major statistical category. The senior scored 17.6 points, grabbed 13.5 rebounds, dished out 4.5 assists, earned 5.3 steals, and blocked 4.1 shots per game. [player_tooltip player_id="396806" first="Brianna" last="Dahl"]-5’9 G/F-’22-Albany The senior led her team in points, assists, rebounds, and steals this season. Dahl averaged 16.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 4.1 steals. <h2>Guards</h2> Presley Buwalda-5’8 G-’22-Randolph The Rockets starting point guard helped lead her team to an undefeated (31-0) season and a state title. Buwalda led her team in assists this season and earned 2.3 steals per game. [player_tooltip player_id="209585" first="Emily" last="Cooper"]-5’8 G-’24-McDonell Central Cooper was a defensive ace for the Macks this season. She earned 4.3 steals per game. The sophomore was the teams’ second-leading scorer and led the team with 4.6 assists per contest. [player_tooltip player_id="156075" first="Laney" last="Havlovitz"]-5’3 G-’23-Wild Rose A mistake saying Havolovitz shot 180 shots in a game makes her shooting numbers look bad. However, if you fix it, she was a 50% shooter as an undersized guard. The junior averaged 23.4 points, grabbed 7.5 rebounds, dished out 5.0 assists, and earned an incredible 7.0 steals per game (No. 2 in Wisconsin.) <h2>3rd Team All-State</h2> <h2>Forwards</h2> Emily Berg-6’0 F-’22-Northwood Berg was one-half of the Northwood’s talented frontcourt. She finished her senior season with averages of 14 points and 7.5 rebounds. Emme Golembiewski-6’0 F-’22-Northwood The other half of Northwood’s frontcourt ends her career sharing the same frontcourt as they have the last three years. Golembiewski averaged 13.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 3.2 steals, and 1.9 blocks. <h2>Guards</h2> Grace Ganshert-5’6 G-’22-Argyle Argyle’s star senior finished her senior season, averaging a double-double. Ganshert averaged 19.5 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. [player_tooltip player_id="206720" first="Nora" last="Tucker"]-5’6 G-’22-Bangor Tucker finished her senior campaign with averages of 16.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. [player_tooltip player_id="264958" first="Marnie" last="Kahl"]-5’9 G-’23-Prairie Farm The junior finished an impressive year at Prairie Farm, scoring 20.1 points per contest and pulling down 8.2 rebounds per game. <h2>All-Defensive Team</h2> [player_tooltip player_id="264942" first="Jorey" last="Buwalda"] [player_tooltip player_id="206731" first="Lily" last="Truchon"] [player_tooltip player_id="209585" first="Emily" last="Cooper"] [player_tooltip player_id="156080" first="Abby" last="Thompson"] [player_tooltip player_id="374230" first="Addy" last="Verhagen"] <h2>Honorable Mention</h2> Maddy Reichman-’22-Wauzeka-Steuben [player_tooltip player_id="262975" first="Ainara" last="Sainz de Rozas"]-’22-Assumption Marah Gruen-’22-Royall Kylie Hewitt-’22-Hurley Abby Katsma-’22-Randolph Raechel Miller-’22-Highland [player_tooltip player_id="156080" first="Abby" last="Thompson"]-’23-Blair-Taylor [player_tooltip player_id="329601" first="Orria" last="Wood"]-’22-Wild Rose Emily Montgomery-’24-South Shore
