Eastern Wisconsin Conference Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we look at two conferences that produced talented D3 and D4 teams in the Eastern Wisconsin and Flyway conferences. Each of these conferences has teams who could be surprising and overall have a lot of intrigue around their programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brillion</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing to note about how Brillion plays, they love to let perimeter jumpers fly. They took their fair share of them and made 35% of their 3-point attempts. Even though they won't have kids like Maya Emmer, Makenna Dietrich, Alaina Schwahn, and Megan Schuman, who all shot over 34% from the 3-point line in their senior season, I expect this group will still be willing to shoot it. The one name to watch this season will be [player_tooltip player_id='885048' first='Camden' last='Hale'], who made the most threes last season and will enter her junior season with a more significant offensive burden.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>New Holstein</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the loss of Grace Schisel, New Holstein will likely play a different way next season. I expect most of the focus offensively will go through their post, [player_tooltip player_id='444782' first='Payton' last='Grenzer']. She does an excellent job finishing around the basket will be something few teams in the conference will compete with. Grenzer's ability should keep her group competitive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sheboygan Falls</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='528115' first='Addison' last='Schliewe'] had an excellent sophomore season and had her hands in every aspect of her Sheboygan Falls teams games on both ends. She averaged a dominant 16 and 12 and helped her team upset a Brillion team with high ambitions in the regional rounds. The Falcons will go as far as Schliewe takes them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kiel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Raiders are a program that always seems to figure things out and be competitive, and [player_tooltip player_id='849567' first='Natalee' last='Long'] is a kid who makes me double down in that thought process. Long had a successful summer with [program_tooltip program_id='713045' first='Wisconsin' last='Lakers'], and I thought she proved a lot going into her senior season. I would not be surprised if she's a first-team all-conference performer this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Valders</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Vikings have Claire Zipperer back for her senior season and will need her to continue to play in a high-usage role. The next few leaders on that team are gone, and Zipperer will have another high-usage season this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chilton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The latest Hoerl that's coming through Chilton is Adahlyn, and like her older sister, she has a lot on her plate, and she's done well in that role. She has the size, physicality, and skill to dominate the ball and create offense for herself and others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Roncalli</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Jets have Lauren Stengel back for her junior season and will look to continue to build with her shouldering the offensive burden.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Two Rivers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the departure of Allyson Kakes, Two Rivers will have opportunities for kids to fill a role to find a place in their rotation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>My Predictions</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Sheboygan Falls</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kiel</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Brillion</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>New Holstein</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Chilton</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Valders</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Roncalli</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Two Rivers</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list -->
