There are plenty of groups that fit this description, but there are four that I’ll highlight today and possibly more I’ll talk about at a later date.
Wausau West
The Warriors have a handful of scholarship-level players and kids who fit roles. Lexie White Lexie White 5'11" | SG Wausau West | 2023 State WI is a wing who can score points in bunches and create her shot. Kelly Kray Kelly Kray 6'2" | PF Wausau West | 2024 State WI is a 6-foot-2 athletic forward who can cover ground defensively quickly. Molly Anderson Molly Anderson 6'0" | PF Wausau West | 2023 State WI is a four who can generate extra possessions by rebounding on both ends of the floor. Also, Kenzie Deaton is a guard who wants to take the challenge defensively and bother talented guards and wings.
New London
Everything the Bulldogs do goes through senior Lizzie Steingraber Lizzie Steingraber 5'10" | SF New London | 2023 State WI . The thing to remember about her is that the St. Thomas commit doesn’t look to score every time down the floor. If she has to, she can, but her best attribute is her vision and passing. It’s not uncommon to see her in the short corner posting up and firing a cross-court pass to the corner. She creates good shots out of nothing.
South Shore
Division 5 is open this season, and anyone could win it. South Shore has a few kids who change a game in a few possessions. Stevens Point commit Lily Truchon Lily Truchon 5'11" | PG South Shore | 2023 State WI is one of the most productive kids in the state, and it’s not uncommon to see her record triple-doubles for the Cardinals. Junior Emily Montgomery Emily Montgomery 5'9" | SG South Shore | 2024 WI had a solid summer in AAU and carried that form into the high school season. She’s shot the ball well and been excellent around the rim. South Shore is one of the smallest schools in the state and could make a run this postseason.
Pius XI
The Popes boast loads of guard talent. Sophomores Tess Wiczek Tess Wiczek 5'7" | PG Pius XI Catholic | 2025 State WI and Georgia Acompanado Georgia Acompanado 5'8" | PG Pius XI | 2025 State WI are one of the most talented backcourts in the state. Guard Addison Miranda Addison Miranda 5'7" | SG Pius XI | 2025 State WI is one of the best catch-and-shoot threats around. Even Senior Kailey Wozniak Kailey Wozniak 5'9" | CG Pius Xi Catholic | 2023 State WI came into this season better and has shown versatility in her game offensively. They’ll have to get through Wisconsin Lutheran, who they’ve split the season series, to get to another sectional final. However, if they get there, they’ll match up with one of the favorites to get to a D2 state-title game in reigning D2 runner-ups Pewaukee
