Tuesday’s Games to Watch

A closer look at the top games happening around the state of Wisconsin on Tuesday...

GRAFTON (1-0) AT MILWAUKEE LUTHERAN (1-0)

The Blackhawks went down to the Kevin Brown Memorial Tournament in Illinois and defeated Reitz (IN) in their opener. One of the top duos in the state, Northern Michigan commit Michael McNabb Michael McNabb 6'4" | CG Grafton | 2024 State WI and junior guard Juan Guerrero Hernandez Juan Guerrero Hernandez 6'4" | CG Veritas Academy | 2025 #189 Nation CA-N combined for 43 points. Sophomore guard D.J. James also added 11.

In their first game of the 2023-24 season, Milwaukee Lutheran picked up an 87-74 win over Waukesha West. Tuesday should be a great test for senior guard/wing Isaiah Allen Isaiah Allen 6'4" | CG Milwaukee Lutheran | 2024 State WI , who's coming off a terrific spring and summer.

WISCONSIN LUTHERAN AT BROOKFIELD CENTRAL

Huge opener for both teams. Brookfield Central and Wisconsin Lutheran met last season. The Vikings ran away with an 89-60 win at home, however, Central has all but reloaded from last season with Lutheran looking to replace four starters.

This one also features an intriguing individual matchup between Illinois State commit Jack Daugherty Jack Daugherty 6'8" | PF Brookfield Central | 2024 State #311 Nation WI and Duke commit Kon Knueppel, two AAU teammates during the summer.

MOUNT HOREB (1-0) AT STOUGHTON (1-0)

Another Badger Crossover. This one features a pair of teams in Division 2 that are capable of reaching sectionals, if not going further.

Stoughton knocked off Oregon in their opener behind 19 points from senior guard and Michigan Tech commit Ty Fernholz Ty Fernholz 6'2" | SG Stoughton | 2024 State WI and 17 points from sophomore Jacob Hibner Jacob Hibner 6'3" | SG Stoughton | 2026 State WI .

Mount Horeb got walloped River Valley in their first outing of the season. Sophomore guard Josh Manchester Josh Manchester 6'4" | SG Mount Horeb | 2026 State WI , who is coming off a fantastic freshman season, is one to watch here.

MARSHFIELD AT APPLETON EAST

Two of the best point guards in the state square off in this one. In a lot of ways, Appleton East's Joey LaChapell Joey LaChapell 5'10" | PG Appleton East | 2024 State WI and Marshfield's Brooks Hinson Brooks Hinson 6'2" | PG Marshfield | 2025 State #251 Nation WI mirror each other in terms of being smart, high-IQ, playmaking floor generals.

The Patriots are coming off a 12-13 campaign in 2022-23. East will be trying to replace a pair of Division 2 prospects in their frontcourt.

Primed for a run in Division 1, Marshfield was 18-7 a year ago and won the Wisconsin Valley Conference.

WHITNALL (1-0) AT RACINE ST. CATHERINE'S (0-0)

If you like guard play, this one is for you.

Whitnall has one of the best backcourt tandems in the state in juniors Jack Lutz Jack Lutz 6'0" | SG Whitnall | 2025 State WI and Myles Herro Myles Herro 6'3" | PG Whitnall | 2025 State #237 Nation WI . The Falcons are coming off a 103-52 win over West Allis Hale last week. In that one, Lutz dropped 30, while Herro added 29.

One of the most surprising teams last season, St. Catherine's went 25-2 and won the Metro Classic Conference. A couple of key seniors are gone from that squad, but sophomore LaMont Hamilton, a top five prospect in his class, is back to led the Angels.
