D3 State Tournament X-Factors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are down to the final four with the Division 3 state semi-finals starting tomorrow. Today I will be pointing out one player, from each team, that could be an X-Factor in helping their team take home the gold ball on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533061' first='Riley' last='Ketterhagen']</strong>-Oostburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is hard to pick a well-known commodity, D1 commit [player_tooltip player_id='533061' first='Riley' last='Ketterhagen'], as a potential X-Factor, based on her stellar career, but the 5-10 senior's final season has not been an accurate reflection of her scoring talent. Coming off of 2024-25 where she averaged 16.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg, and 3.4 apg while shooting 46.7 %, Ketterhagen has seen her scoring drop to 11 ppg shooting 39% from the floor but has been solid in other aspects averaging 3.7 rpg, 5.0 apg and 2.9 spg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Addy Henrich</strong>-Mosinee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Henrich, a 5-9 junior, sticks out as the biggest X-Factor for the Indians, in this game, against the 28-0 Flying Dutchmen. For the season, she leads the Indians in 3-point attempts (90) while shooting 22%. If she can see a couple go through, early, her outside shooting could give Mosinee their best chance to stay in this game against Oostburg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='932119' first='Mya' last='Mayer']</strong>-Kettle Moraine Lutheran</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6-0 sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='932119' first='Mya' last='Mayer'] stands out as the Chargers X-Factor in their semi-final game against Wisconsin Dells. Leading the team in scoring, with 14.3 ppg, she also adds a defensive presence, in the middle, averaging 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. Her scoring has dipped a bit, 9.5 ppg in the Sectional and 13.5 ppg overall in four tournament games, so getting her going will be key for the 27-1 Chargers making it to Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aja Gall</strong>-Wisconsin Dells</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gall, a 5-8 freshman, has quickly become one of the keys to the success of the 28-0 Chiefs. For the season she is averaging 9.8 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 3.2 apg, 2.2 spg while shooting 36.8% from three and 70.2% from the free-throw line. If Gall gets her outside shot going early, she could be the difference in driving the Chiefs to the title game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
