State Semifinal Prospect Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A great day of high school basketball took place at the Kohl Center on Friday. Wisconsin's top teams and players all gathered in Madison to compete for a state championship. Prep Hoops Wisconsin had an eye on the action all day. Here are several prospect standouts from an action-packed day:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cy Becker -- G -- Columbus Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the first game of the day, Becker led Columbus Catholic to a win with 24 points and 5 rebounds. The guard really impressed on the offensive end of the court with his diverse scoring skillset. Becker caught fire from three, converting on five long range shots. He was extremely efficient in the victory, as he finished 9-12 shooting from the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1089679' first='Nacir' last='Beamon'] -- G -- Nicolet</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In what was a heartbreaking loss for Nicolet, Beamon gave 100 percent effort and left it all on the court. The 6-foot-4 guard led his squad in scoring with 21 points while also playing solid defense. Beamon had an excellent season for the Knights and certainly boosted his stock significantly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1412882' first='Luka' last='Momcilovic'] -- SF -- Pewaukee</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1089682' first='Nick' last='Janowski'] posted a 30-point triple-double in Pewaukee's victory on Friday afternoon, which is rare to see at any level of basketball. However, Janowski had plenty of help. Momcilovic scored 20 points on 7-10 shooting, including four made threes. The 6-foot-8 small forward's ability to stretch the floor makes him almost impossible to guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1364523' first='Jace' last='Gilbert'] -- PF -- Arrowhead</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In what was one of the best basketball games I have ever seen, Arrowhead pulled out an incredible win after four (!) overtimes. The Warhawks don't earn this victory without Gilbert's performance. The power forward dominated down low. He scored bucket after bucket, finishing with 34 points in the winning effort. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2492808' first='Luke' last='Jung'] -- SF -- Neenah</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was really impressed with the effort and heart that Jung played with on Friday night. The Neenah small forward was forced to take on several difficult matchups throughout the game but always battled despite size disadvantage. Jung finished difficult layups, rebounded, and nearly led Neenah to a victory. Guard [player_tooltip player_id='1203253' first='Brady' last='Corso'] also played tremendous, pouring in 30 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1203205' first='Nolan' last='Minessale'] -- SF -- Marquette University </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Minessale has always been one of my favorite prospects to watch in the state. I love the small forward's ability to get downhill and finish at the rim. He does an excellent job using his lanky frame and athleticism to create incredible highlights in the paint. Minessale was the best player on the floor on Saturday night. He scored 24 points and missed just two shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2350015' first='Will' last='Stuckey'] -- G -- Kettle Moraine </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even in defeat, Stuckey doesn't have anything to hang his head about. The Kettle Moraine guard played a great game despite the tough loss. Stuckey tallied 18 points and made three shots from beyond the arc in the loss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
