Piurkowski, a 5-11 Brookfield East senior and a 2026 1st Team All-Conference selection, starts her senior season has a player to watch in the Milwaukee area. 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.

The Brookfield native brings some length to any lineup she’s a part of and will add some floor spacing anywhere she plays. Piurkowski has some length and can use that length to make plays on the defensive end of the floor. She’s also a player who will complement any team that has a ball-dominant player and open the floor for them whenever she’s on the court.

The Brookfield native is a player who has always excelled on the offensive end of the floor and, in turn, looked solid in the skills work. For a kid of her length, handling the ball and moving as fluidly as she can in half-court settings allows her to get downhill and use her shooting to open the floor up for herself. Piurkowski also showed her ability to score in the 1v1 work they did due to her length and ability to protect the ball.

There are a lot of kids who look to become players who can hunt their shot and score off the dribble, and Piurkowski can do that, but has thrived in an off-ball role in high school and in the grassroots season with Purple Aces . She will space the floor well beyond the arc wherever she plays, and she is comfortable attacking recovering defenses and using her pivot foot to create space to finish around the basket. She also has the length to make plays on defense and has come along as a rebounder, as she’s built her physical tools over the past few seasons at Brookfield East.

The Brookfield wing has been a player who can score with volume and can knock down shots from well beyond the three-point line. In her Purple Aces group, she has shown flashes of how efficent she can be as a secondary scorer. She has worked on her game and become more of a threat as a driver and mid-range scorer, especially with her floater. In any given game, Piurkowski could be the difference.

In her first season at Brookfield East, Piurkowski stepped into a much-needed secondary-scoring role and played the middle of the Spartans’ 2-3 zone. There were games where Piurkowski was unconscious on the offensive end of the floor and helped her team to win games or be competitive, and she got more physical under the basket in their 2-3 zone as the season went on. GLVC teams at the event should look at her, and any GLIAC coaches should.
