Smith had a breakout grassroots season and could help Milwaukee Academy of Science get back to the state tournament for the first time since 2023. Her ability to attack off the dribble opens up her teammates and elevates her team's offense. She brings some flair to her team's backcourt and leads a high-powered offense. She also has the tools to be one of the top perimeter defenders this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992498"],"_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-6af62e1066de0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Sun Prairie native has improved each year she's played at the high school level. Maselter looks more comfortable with the ball in her hands and has developed into a more efficent scorer over her two high school seasons. The guard is also a solid athlete who can stick to her assignment and keep guards in front of her. She plays hard on both ends and will help her team win on the margins. Regional schools will take a look, and some coaches will be intrigued by what she brings to the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1744831"],"_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-6af62e1066e29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Onalaska native has done a little of everything at the high school level. Ketelhut handles the ball, creates her team's offense, attacks off the dribble, and pressures defenses. She's a multi-sport athlete with the athletic tools to excel defensively at the next level. Ketelhut also has the size to attack mismatches around the basket. She brings some physicality around the basket and will play through contact. She should play her first season of grassroots basketball next spring and catch collegiate coaches' attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1715320"],"_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-6af62e1066e6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The post from Brookfield Academy is a physical player who can play through contact and score around the basket. Peterson is also a valuable piece of her team's press break, makes quick decisions with the ball, and gets her teammates the ball to attack the basket. She is a left-handed kid who can score over her right shoulder and be a physical presence in the paint on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
