<p>I attended the Expo up in Appleton, Wisconsin. I'll begin going through a handful of teams that I watched play today and highlighting the players I observed throughout the morning and early afternoon. I thought it was a productive day, as I had the opportunity to meet some players from around the state, and I found it to be my most enjoyable Expo since attending the event for the first time in 2021. Today, we'll look at Team Four and discuss the players from that unit.</p>

<p>The Arrowhead wing is a player who could play crucial minutes for the Warhawks this coming winter. Last season, she played second-half minutes at the state tournament and had the confidence to take crucial shots late in the game. Her confidence has grown over the past few seasons, and she will be a valuable part of Arrowhead's rotation until she graduates.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='874695' first='Addison' last='Betker']</strong></p>

<p>Betker is a talented ball handler who can get downhill and put pressure on opposing defenses. Few players in Appleton could get to the basket at the level of the Racine native. However, as a lead guard, she knows how to manipulate defenses to help get her teammates open looks at the basket on the offensive end. She's an under-the-radar player, but she has a future in college basketball if she wants to pursue it.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='890055' first='Jayda' last='King']</strong></p>

<p>King is among the most versatile players in her class. The St. Catherine's wing is a player who can handle the ball on the perimeter and create shots for herself and others. It also helps that she can knock down some shots on the perimeter. She's an intriguing talent because of the size and skill that she brings to the floor.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='880249' first='Lauren' last='Mester']</strong></p>

<p>The Mount Horeb guard is an undersized player who can make plays with the ball in her hands. She can make plays for her teammates and knock down shots from beyond the three-point line. There will be some people at the next level who write her off because of her size, but she can be effective at the next level.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1319432' first='Chelinda' last='Spector']</strong></p>

<p>The Pius XI guard is a talented perimeter defender who can use her athleticism and physicality to make plays on the ball handler. She can switch around the basket and guard all five positions on the defensive end of the floor. Spector is among the most intriguing perimeter defensive prospects in the 2027 class who will be heading into their junior seasons.</p>
