A look at the top games around the state happening on Tuesday…
Wisconsin Lutheran (3-0) at West Allis Central (1-0)
The Vikings have looked legit early in the season. Wisconsin Lutheran has blown out Martin Luther and Whitnall. Sophomore guard Prentice Young Prentice Young 6'4" | CG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2023 State #273 Nation WI (15.7 ppg), senior forward Jonah Rindfleisch Jonah Rindfleisch 6'7" | SF Wisconsin Lutheran | 2021 State WI (14.0 ppg), and junior guard Jordan Glenn Jordan Glenn 5'11" | PG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2022 State WI (12.7 ppg) have formed a promising trio.

Along with junior wing Steven Clay Steven Clay 6'5" | SG Menomonee Falls | 2022 State #193 Nation WI (17.5 ppg), the Phoenix have one of the best duos in the state.
Cedarburg (2-0) at Whitefish Bay (1-1)
You hate to label any game as a must-win this early in the season, but for Whitefish Bay, they can’t afford to fall two games back of Nicolet in the North Shore Conference race. The Blue Dukes bounced back after a season-opening loss by surviving a scare against West Bend East. Northern Arizona commit Jayden Jackson Jayden Jackson 6'2" | SG Whitefish Bay | 2021 State WI leads the way at 17.0 ppg.
Cebarburg’s new duo of Purdue football commit Drew Biber Drew Biber 6'3" | SF Cedarburg | 2021 State WI (27.5 ppg) and Kansas State commit Logan Landers Logan Landers 6'9" | PF Cedarburg | 2021 State WI (18.5 ppg) has been as good as advertised. The Bulldogs have cruised to wins over Homestead and Graftonn thus far.
Brookfield Central (3-0) at Brookfield East (1-0)
The battle for Brookfield and perhaps even the Greater Metro Conference gets its first installment of the rivalry on Tuesday. Central is considered a strong favorite in the league, but the Spartans generally play them very tough.
Texas commit David Joplin David Joplin 6'8" | SF Brookfield | 2021 State #54 Nation WI leads the Lancers at 29.0 ppg. St. Thomas commit Ben Nau Ben Nau 6'1" | PG Brookfield Central | 2021 State WI is also putting up big numbers with 23.7 ppg. Central will be coming off a nice win at Arrowhead.
The Spartans and their stud freshman Tayshawn Bridges Tayshawn Bridges 6'2" | CG Milwaukee Academy of Science | 2024 #86 Nation GA , who’s coming off 37 points against Tosa West, get their first big test of the season. Washington (St. Louis) commit Hayden Doyle Hayden Doyle 6'0" | CG Brookfield East | 2021 State WI also had 20 points in the opener.
