Wisconsin Prep: The Last Update 2023-2024

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the last weekly or bi-weekly shout-out &amp; update it was win or go home playoff time. Below are some of the tremendous individual performances that the playoffs brought us. In addition, conferences around from around the state are having their Player of the Year Awards announced. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Before we get started with the list of individual shout-outs, awards, or accolades, let's give one to the teams from Arrowhead and Neenah who played against each other in Madison on Friday. Wow! 4 O/Ts! The longest game ever played at state and believed to be the highest scoring game ever played at state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Individual Performances: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1142118' first='Amari' last='McCottry'] | 6'6" | W | 2024 | St Thomas More - Triple Double 23 points 14 Rebounds 10 Assist </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1240335' first='Kai' last='Rogers'] | 6'10" | C | 2025 | Wauwatosa West - 31 points 9 Rebounds </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1089682' first='Nick' last='Janowski'] | 6'3" | CG | 2024 | Pewaukee - 30 points 8 rebounds </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1089682' first='Nick' last='Janowski'] | Pewaukee | 28 point 10 rebounds 10 assist (to get to the championship game) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler Tiutczenko 6'6" | W | 2026 | Pewaukee - 24 points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kon Knueppel | 6'5" | W | 2024 | Wisconsin Lutheran - 25 points 11 rebounds </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kon Knueppel | 6'5" | W | 2024 | Wisconsin Lutheran - 37 points 12 rebounds 8 Assist</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1159275' first='Logan' last='Rindfleisch'] | 6'4" | W | 2024 | Wisconsin Lutheran - 24 points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1142119' first='Bennett' last='Basich'] | 6'3" G | 2024 | Arrowhead - 43 points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emmitt Konieczny | Columbus Catholic | 31 points (state championship game) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1364523' first='Jace' last='Gilbert'] | Arrowhead | Double Double (state championship game) 34 points 14 Rebounds </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Conference Players of the Year:</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1598980' first='Matt' last='Buckman'] 2025 | Cambridge | Capitol South Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AJ Bender 2025 | Lake Mills | Capitol North Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1144596' first='Pierce' last='Arenz'] | Kiel | Eastern Wisconsin Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1418511' first='Drew' last='Daoust'] 2025 | Southern Door | Packerland Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2637952' first='Ben' last='Wetzel'] | Deerfield | Trailways South Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>JJ McKellips | Lourdes Academy | Trailways East Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Austin Hohn | Pardeeville | Trailways West Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1970502' first='Cade' last='Dirkse'] 2026 | Oostburg | Big East South Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2045263' first='Kayden' last='Schultz'] 2026 | Plymouth | East Central Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kasey Helgeson | Barneveld | Six Rivers Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler Brightman | Xavier | Bay Conference</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2403253' first='Trent' last='Grunewald'] 2025 | Howards Grove | Big East North Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Joe Ascher | Wautoma | South Central Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1145649' first='Cody' last='Schmitz'] | Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau | Coulee Conference </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2493671' first='Channing' last='Brown'] 2025 | Ithaca | Ridge &amp;
