She enters her final season as just one of seven players to go over the 1,000 career point threshold in Brookfield East history. Solid on both ends of the floor, Piurkowski put up 11.9 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 3.8 apg, 1.5 spg, and 1.0 bpg in leading the Spartans to a 21-7 record and within 1 game of a state tournament bid. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882377"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad8d822c1107"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fierst is another incoming Great Metro Conference senior that I see having a great senior season. Coming off of a 2nd team All-Conference junior season, the 5-6 Hamilton product averaged 12.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 2.6 apg, and just under a steal per game while shooting 35% from distance. I like her relentless, controlled style of play and think that her Chargers will be competitive in the hunt for a conference title this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1938964"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad8d822c1128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">You cannot make a list of top Milwaukee area players and not have the 5-8 [player_tooltip player_id='1231936' first='Collins' last=''] on the list.
