The Tune-Up Wisconsin: Sunday’s feature game results

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The second day of the Prep Hoops Tune-Up Wisconsin club event was held Sunday. Here are some thoughts of the games I attended at the Champions Center in Appleton:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>16U<br>[program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP'] Burton 76, [program_tooltip program_id='2225511' first='All-Wisconsin' last=''] Simpson 59</strong><br><br>It was a very productive weekend for [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP'] as the squad went 4-0 to improve to 22-6 on the season under coach Jezzriah Burton. While [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP'] won't win games with intimidating size and dominant post play, it makes up for its lack of interior assets with a bunch of versatile and skilled players who hang around and hang around until they find their hot streak. <br><br>As in Saturday's win over [program_tooltip program_id='2517147' first='Wisconsin' last='Breakaway'], [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP'] hit some big shots from three-point range late to overcome a 37-31 halftime deficit and win going away over [program_tooltip program_id='2225511' first='All-Wisconsin' last=''] Simpson. Consistent point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2724390' first='Jake' last='Bartelt'] (5-11) of Kettle Moraine Lutheran had 20 points and streaky outside shooting [player_tooltip player_id='2836093' first='Keegan' last='DeGeorge'] (6-0) of Waukesha South overcame a slow beginning to finish with a game-high 21 points. Improved East Troy forward [player_tooltip player_id='2834838' first='Connor' last='Sickler'] (6-4) scored 17 and showed off his versatility by scoring outside and inside. <br><br>For [program_tooltip program_id='2225511' first='All-Wisconsin' last=''], Appleton North junior [player_tooltip player_id='2439030' first='Ethan' last='Eisenberg'] (6-1) and De Pere junior [player_tooltip player_id='2400279' first='Will' last='Frelich'] (6-4) each scored 15 points. <br><br><strong>Boxscore<br>[program_tooltip program_id='2225511' first='All-Wisconsin' last=''] Simpson (37-22 = 59)</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2439030' first='Ethan' last='Eisenberg'] 15, Jeric Thulien 9, [player_tooltip player_id='2386377' first='Magic' last='Xiong'] 0, [player_tooltip player_id='2829171' first='David' last='Williams'] 5, [player_tooltip player_id='2416222' first='Alexander' last='Radtke'] 0, [player_tooltip player_id='2508302' first='Sam' last='Kuehl'] 4, [player_tooltip player_id='2400233' first='Evan' last='Frelich'] 9, [player_tooltip player_id='2418649' first='Nolan' last='Lemke'] 2, [player_tooltip player_id='2400279' first='Will' last='Frelich'] 15.
