Class of 2026 Rankings Update: Next Five

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>By the time the season tips off on Nov. 18th, all class rankings will be done, and the content with those updates will be posted. Today, we'll take a brief look at the top ten in the class and highlight some of their achievements at the high school level. All of the players in the Top Ten are committed, so I'll try not to ramble on too much about these players today and dive deeper into some uncommitted players tomorrow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='736760' first='Melia' last='Lemorande']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lemorande exploded on the AAU scene the summer before her sophomore season, but an injury kept her off the floor that winter. The Bay Port wing came back in her junior season and was one of the top shooters in the state, and is possibly the best shot hunter away from the ball as I've seen. Lemorande will continue her playing career at Division 2 Maryville in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533060' first='Ady' last='Ketterhagen']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ketterhagen has seen her role change in her time at the high school level. She came in as a ball-dominant point guard and has turned into a post player for Oostburg. She is a physical presence around the basket and can be a double-double threat whenever she steps on the floor. Ketterhagen will continue her playing career at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in the Horizon League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='497476' first='Maya' last='Kovacic']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Brookfield native is one of the best tough-shot makers in the state. Kovacic has improved on the defensive end in the Spartans' zone and has become a more consistent scorer offensively. She is also a player who has contributed to three Regional Title teams at Brookfield East and helped the Spartans reach the state title game in 2023. Kovacic will continue her playing career at St. Thomas in the Summit League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533068' first='Kyrin' last='Lile']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lile is among the top passing forwards I've seen in my time in Wisconsin. She is a versatile offensive player who can handle the ball on the perimeter and make plays off the dribble. An injury took away most of her junior season, but she came back from a knee injury to make plays in the postseason for her Elkhorn. Lile will continue her playing career at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in the Horizon League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='652141' first='Rachael' last='Chilicki']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mukwonago native is a physical presence around the basket, can play around the rim, or step out and space the floor. Chilicki is a talented player who has come along nicely in her first three seasons in high school. She brings an edge to the floor and will love competing at the next level. Chilicki will continue her career at Mount St. Mary's in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
