<p>The young prospects around the state are a talented bunch, and today we'll look at a handful of players to know heading into the 2026-27 season. As we inch closer to the season, we'll take a closer look at what this season could look like. Before making predictions next week, I'd like to highlight some younger talent who could impress this winter. We will highlight more players in the younger classes before the season, but we'll look at eight in two articles.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The McFarland guard is an athletic left-handed guard who can overwhelm her defender. Charbonneau has the speed and power to beat her initial defender off the dribble or go through them to the basket. I also like the physical tools she brings defensively. She rises to the occasion and finds ways to give her team an edge by doing the little things, like diving on the floor or crashing the offensive glass.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The La Crosse native is an athletic wing who can create off the dribble and score from all three levels. Apuan has the physical tools to develop into an excellent two-way player who can impact winning at the scholarship level. Last season, she played a secondary role alongside a talented senior, playing D1 basketball. I'm eager to see how she handles an increased responsibility as the River Hawks look to rise in the D2 field this winter. She will be an intriguing player on a team that could impress this winter.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Central Wisconsin native has the tools most scholarship programs look for in a post player. Marciulionis has the size and physicality to develop into a rotation player at the scholarship level. She has the touch to shoot from the perimeter and play as a floor spacer in a five-out offense. However, she has also shown flashes of scoring with her back to the basket and powering through contact in the paint. In high school, she can be streaky, but if D.C. Everest's backcourt improves, Marciulionis will improve.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Neillsville native helped the Warriors win a state championship in her first season of high school basketball. Marg came off the bench but was a crucial player last season. She excelled in the post and found ways to score through traffic, and showed off her footwork on the most prominent stage of high school basketball, and will have the program to potentially repeat and be a double-double threat all season.</p>
