Gracie Clary Gracie Clary 5'11" | PF Lodi | 2026 State WI
The Lodi wing has a world of potential. Right now, Clary is a kid who projects as a high-level defender. She’s 5-11 with length, lateral quickness, discipline, and versatility. From some of the games I’ve watched in pieces, she shows flashes of being a kid who can play through contact and finish in traffic. I’m excited to see her in person this summer because she’s got a chance to become quite the player.
The 5-11 wing from DSHA has the physical tools to become a kid who can contend for an all-conference spot in the GMC. She’s athletic, makes shots from the perimeter, and can change directions, and I feel when I’ve watched the Dashers, they look better when she’s on the floor. If she wants to pursue basketball, there’s a future for her somewhere at the next level.
Torie DeVoe
I’m impressed by how under control DeVoe plays. Nothing ever seems rushed for her, and she doesn’t often lose her poise. Her jumper is good enough to swing games for Belleville in the Capitol Conference. I also think she has the power to finish through some contact and will improve as she gets older. She’s a massive reason why Belleville has been competitive this season.
Kiarrah Micolichek Kiarrah Micolichek 5'7" | CG Denmark | 2026 State WI
Sometimes, I get bored and watch games that I otherwise never would. I wish I remembered the contest I watched first, but I quickly fell in love with Micolichek’s game. The Denmark guard has as much range as anyone in the state and has the confidence to shoot it whenever she can a shot up. I love watching her backpedal after shooting because it makes her shots aesthetically pleasing. I haven’t seen her as much as most in this class, but she has plenty to work with to improve her all-around game.
Madelyn Stocks Madelyn Stocks 5'4" | PG Germantown | 2026 State WI
What makes Stocks effective isn’t necessarily one specific quality. I don’t think a skill paints the whole picture of who she is as a player. For instance, I see her as a kid who forces others into mistakes when she defends them. In Stocks’ case, that can be her jumping a passing lane that forces the passer to throw it out of bounds or travel trying to catch themselves. Nothing in that sentence leads to a steal by her name in a box score. However, what she does leads to things that give her team more chances to win. Like every Germantown kid, she can run forever, understands defensive principles and where she needs to be, and comprehends the game better than most would probably give her credit for. I also believe there’s more offense to her game than she’s been able to show because she’s always played on successful and talented teams, which isn’t an accident. Over the next two seasons, I could see her scoring double digits fairly regularly at Germantown. She can shoot it well and isn’t afraid to attack the basket.
