Pitts was one of the few players who found success scoring the ball, and it's because of how physical he plays at 6'4. Also a standout football player, Domonic has a frame that most high school forwards can't compete with, and it allowed him to get deep post position and power his way up through contact to score. Had a couple of and-one finishes, showed he can get to the rim off the dribble, and finished off chances when his team needed them most. Finished with 20 points in his team's 46-44 win.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Jackson Wilhelmson","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Kenosha Indian Trail","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Jackson recently earned an offer from Benedictine University in Illinois, and had a big game to help lead ITA past Messmer on Saturday. Scoring a game high 21 points, Jackson excelled at getting his shots without over dribbling the ball. He was getting his points off catch-and-shoot threes, straight line drives when he had a lane to get downhill, or pull-up jumpers off one or two dribbles. Nothing flashy about his game, he just reads the floor well and takes what the defense gives him. Messmer didn't have much size, so at 6'5 Jackson spent a lot of time moving his feet with guards 4-6u0022 shorter than him, and looked comfortable doing so. He's a three sport athlete with well rounded athleticism and good positional size on the wing.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1203602"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Sekou once again had a strong showing for St. Thomas More, and a large part of it was just how hard he plays around the rim. He's putting in the effort to try to get every missed shot, no matter who's in his way. This effort led to some of the biggest buckets of the game as well, as he had a key putback dunk late in the game, and then in a tie game he tipped in another missed shot for two points. That bucket would ultimately be the game winner as St. Thomas More picked up a stop on the ensuing possession. Sekou's shot selection has really improved over the past couple years, as he's now made it a priority to get around the basket and use his physical attributes to score. It's improved his efficiency greatly. Defensively he's a versatile piece because of his length around the rim, but also his ability to slide his feet on the perimeter to effectively defend pick u0026amp; rolls.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1203034"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"I'm not sure if there's a more explosive forward in the state than MJ Stackhouse. He's a freak athlete at 6'7 with his ability to effortlessly explode off two feet around the basket. Against Messmer if he got even the slightest bit of space around the rim he was going to elevate and throw down a thunderous dunk. He earns those opportunities with quick cuts from the dunker spot, by running the floor hard, and with quick spins from the block with the ability to read his defender's positioning. MJ is still a bit raw, but continues to show impressive flashes on the perimeter with pull-up jumpers that are hard to defend due to the way he elevates. If he can get a bit more efficient and consistent in that area, there won't be many teams who can slow him down. Ended the game against Messmer with 21 points and recently earned an offer from UW-Milwaukee.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1412882"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Pewaukee's matchup with Wisconsin Lutheran was headlined by the nationally ranked prospects, but Luka quietly had himself a nice game in the win. Playing alongside two high major players he's not going to be taking a high volume of shots offensively, but was extremely efficient with the looks he got. Luka flashed his outside shot going 2-4 from deep, and inside the arc was a perfect 4-4 on his way to 14 points. Luka has a nice looking shot with a high release, making it difficult to defend. Such a fundamentally sound player who's a part of a winning culture at Pewaukee.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1366300"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"For a while Hamilton really struggled to break the opposing team's zone defense, but Cameron provided a spark on the offensive end. He looked the part of a nice 3 u0026amp; D player as he was finding space in the zone and quickly firing off threes to get his team going. Bratzke never over dribbled, and rarely even needed a dribble to get his shot attempts. The one make we did see him dribble into was a bit of a u0022heat checku0022 as he stepped back and drained a corner three after already making a few shots early. Had a couple of nice assists with one being a long pass up the floor after a steal, and another coming off a baseline drive where the defense was forced to collapse, allowing him to shovel it to one of his forwards in the paint. Really solid all-around performance from Cameron.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2500051' first='Omar' last='Fofana']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Messmer","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Omar has had a very productive winter, and has been among the most impactful freshmen in the state this year. Against Kenosha Indian Trail he was once again productive on both ends of the floor as he finished with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 steals. Omar is very active defensively, is quick on his feet, and has great hands to either poke the ball free or jump a lazy pass to pick up steals. Just a high effort kid who doesn't take plays off on that end. Already mentioned how quick he is, but it's his ability to change speed and change directions on the offensive end that makes him dangerous. Has a nice bag of tricks with the ball to get by his man, and can then finish in a variety of ways at the rim. His three point shooting percentages haven't been great this year, but he seems like  a hard worker that will be putting in the time and effort to improve on his outside shot.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e165fb13a68"} /-->
