More Players to Learn About Before 2024-25

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We will stick with yesterday's theme of highlighting kids who aren't from the population centers of Wisconsin. However, we won't be keeping things to the Northern part of the state. Let's get started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Haley Jordt</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baldwin-Woodville was a defensive juggernaut along the Western Wisconsin border. That group suffocated teams defensively, and Jordt was a part of that. However, Jordt was who they played through on the offensive end of the floor, and she did well in that role all season. She performed her best when her team needed them in games like the sectional final against Elk Mound to get to Green Bay, recording 18 points and five rebounds. She's found ways to help her team win games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='995788' first='Elsah' last='Rubis']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A new name to me is [player_tooltip player_id='995788' first='Elsah' last='Rubis']. The St. Croix Central has next-level written all over her. The 6'2 forward runs the floor well, has solid footwork under the basket, and has a motor rebounding the ball. She plays hard on both ends of the floor, which resulted in her averaging a double-double last season for the Panthers. Rubis' film from the 23-24 season is nothing short of impressive, and I'll 100% be telling coaches about her as soon as possible.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='878148' first='Chloe' last='Seymour']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Marinette guard won the NEC POY award last season, and it wasn't because she scored 20 points per game for the Marines. Seymour set a tone defensively for Marinette at the point of attack that ruined any flow opposing teams had in the NEC. She averaged five steals per contest last year. That level of disruption wins games. Seymour's ability to force mistakes out of opposing guards was why Marinette won the NEC title outright against some of the more traditional powers in the conference. Having players who make life difficult is something every coach wants, and Seymour is that type of player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mya Dernbach</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'10 wing from Almond-Bancroft has an intriguing physical toolset and seemed involved in all aspects of the game for the Eagles. The lefty has a solid-looking shot, which, I believe, is better than the numbers showed this season. Dernbach saw a significant uptick in usage for the Eagles in her sophomore season, and the efficiency numbers fell as a result. However, she could still be a first-team all-conference level kid in her final two seasons at Almond-Bancroft because she can score it and use her length to create turnovers on the defensive end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
