Standout Juniors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week I focused on seniors that are having a great finish to their career. Today and tomorrow I will be posting about a group of juniors that are having outstanding seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='751240' first='Autumn' last='Crowe']</strong>-St. Mary Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 13-0 Zephyrs sit at #1 in Division 4 and a huge reason for that is the play of junior [player_tooltip player_id='751240' first='Autumn' last='Crowe']. Her stat line is hard to believe at 21.5 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 2.9 apg and 6.4 steals while shooting 55.6% from the floor, 38.7% from three, and 78.4% from the free-throw line! Great players come up in big spots and there is no bigger game, thus far, then tonight's home matchup vs unbeaten D3 #1 Oostburg. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jessiah [player_tooltip player_id='1231936' first='Collins' last='']</strong>-Milwaukee Hamilton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5-7 [player_tooltip player_id='1231936' first='Collins' last=''], already at 1,275 career points, is shooting up on everyone's radar especially with how her junior season is going. 26.5 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 2.0 apg, 6.8 spg, and 1.1 bpg with a season high 42 points in keeping the Wildcats in the thick of the Milwaukee City Gold conference and 6-6 overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='751287' first='Tessa' last='Bryan']</strong>-Waunakee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5-9 Bryan, already Waunakee's all-time leading scorer, is a big reason why the Warriors (11-1) are a top 5 team and a favorite, along with Arrowhead, to come out of Sectional 3. Her numbers, 25.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 3.6 apg, 3.7 spg while shooting 78% from the charity stripe have the Warriors in a great spot with two prove-it games starting tonight at second place Monona Grove and Tuesday at home versus Neenah. Mark your calendars for January 24th in what might be a Sectional final preview when Waunakee hosts undefeated Arrowhead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='751257' first='EllaMay' last='Cooper']</strong>-Regis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most of the time when you see a player putting up the stat line that Cooper has you assume she must be around 5-9 to 6-0 but not in this case. The 5-5 junior has been dominate for the 13-2 Ramblers averaging 23.9 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 6.1 apg, 4.8 spg while shooting 34.7% from three and 92.9% from the free-throw line. Sitting at 1400 career points, Cooper has Regis at #5 in D4 with a 57-53 win against D3 #5 Aquinas on Monday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
