Continue ReadingOn Tuesday, January 3rd, cross town rivals, Whitnall and Greenfield faced off in a city battle. Whitnall came out victorious by a score of 70-61. This game was action packed with big time plays, momentum swings, and second half comeback attempt by Greenfield. Three-pointers, offensive rebounds, and pesky defense was key to the comeback, but Whitnall pulled away in the last few minutes thanks to 6 straight free throws by senior Josh Kaye. Read below for my standout players in the city of Greenfield, WI.
Austin Herro Austin Herro 6’2″ | CG Whitnall | 2023 State WI is the best player in Greenfield, WI. As a senior, Austin is averaging 16 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block per game. He is Whitnall’s floor general and possess a very high basketball IQ. Against Greenfield, he showed off his vision with next level passes. For a high schooler, he has great body control and creates open looks for himself and his teammates. He gets to the mid-range and absorbs contact well. Division one potential is there.
Myles Herro Myles Herro 6’2″ | PG Whitnall | 2025 State #237 Nation WI is a name to watch in the 2025 Wisconsin high school class. He projects as an offensive facilitator and a solid rebounding guard. Against Greenfield, Myles impressed me the most with his defense. He showed his ability to navigate through screens and provide help defense. He was usually in good defensive positioning. He likes to use hesitation to create for himself and should have a successful career as one of Whitnall’s starting guards.
Jack Lutz Jack Lutz 6’0″ | SG Whitnall | 2025 State WI is another name to watch in the 2025 class. He should climb up the rankings after a strong start to the season. Jack is leading Whitnall in scoring with 17 points per game. He is extremely well-conditioned and plays incredibly hard. He is always hustling and pushing the pace. I like how he attacks hard and with purpose. His jump shot has potential to grow with his quick release. I’d expect significant improvement in his shooting percentages over time.

It was a breakout performance for Josh Kaye against Greenfield. The senior scored a career high 18 points to go along with 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. Josh ran the floor well and found the soft spots in the defense for easy baskets. What was most impressive about Josh’s performance was his ability to ice the game at the free throw line going 6-6 in the final few minutes. Congratulations on a great game Josh!
Anthony Carter Anthony Carter 6’0″ | PG Greenfield | 2023 State WI has been the man for the Greenfield Hawks the last few years. He’s off to a strong start averaging 16.7 points, 6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2.1 steals. Against Whitnall, he led the way with 19 points. It was clear that Anthony is Greenfield’s leader. He’s a tough player who plays with emotion. He’s strength and balance help him score through contact. He controlled the pace well and is a decent spot up shooter when he is set. I’d expect Anthony to get an opportunity to play collegiate ball somewhere.
