Sekou Konneh Sekou Konneh 6’6″ | SF St. Thomas More | 2024 State WI | 2024 | W | St. Thomas MoorernThis is becoming every game reporting to mention Sekou and his performances. If he stays with what he can do best during game play, the sky is the limited for this prospect. By putting up 19 points, 11 rebounds, 3 steals he impacted the game across the board.

Then it allowed him to utilize his superior passing ability to tally 6 assists. The rest of his stat line was 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks. For a big, he is touching every facet of the game, making an impact, making his presence felt
Demerius Shakur Demerius Shakur 6’2″ | CG Martin Luther | 2023 State WI | 2023 | Guard | Martin LutherrnDemerius is often unsung and under looked but the eye test tells you that when the PG has the ball in his hands the game is smoother for his team. Same here in the first game of this event. His leadership is a calming influence displaying a high game IQ. He recorded 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists,
Quick impressions players or team we need to know and check back in on consistently, based off of performances:
Markel Webb of Dominican posted 26 points.
Pius XL Catholic – I am believer in their talent and heart.
Kaukauna – The ghost has size and shooting, which is going to make it tough for a lot of teams.
Mason Prey Mason Prey 6'4" | CG Newman Catholic | 2023 State WI is still that guy and a walking bucket.
