Janowski has played in two state title games and won a state title with the Pirates in the 2023-2024 season. She has always been an elite defensive talent, and before a knee injury cut her season short, one could argue she was the most productive player in the state this season on both ends of the floor. Janowski will continue her playing career in the Big Ten at the University of Wisconsin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["400915"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-686547e95b659"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Wauwatosa East guard has led the Red Raiders to the state tournament the last two seasons and helped her team hoist the D2 crown this past March.
