Peete has improved his perimeter jump shot and can now reliably knock down three-point attempts. Defensively, he can defend pretty much any spot from point guard to small forward. Peete is fast in the open court with the ball in his hands and is very competitive on virtually every play on both ends of the court. As a junior, Peete averaged 11.5 points and 3.2 rebounds as a starter for a Germantown squad that finished 14-11. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140982"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e58e4286588"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A talented shooting guard who can get to the rim and score over taller defenders, Rivera is an offensive force at times. His size and skill package allow him to score from the mid range in addition to getting to the basket. River likes to back down defenders and then rise up over them for shots in the lane. He also attacks the rim with regularity and often draws fouls on opponents contesting his shots. Rivera started for Pius XI Catholic as a sophomore and averaged 8.4 points and 3.9 rebounds for coach Dan Carey's squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2386798"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e58e42865d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grabner does a good job of grabbing offensive rebounds and then keeping the ball up high while scoring on put-backs. The younger brother of UW-Oshkosh recruit Ben Grabner, [player_tooltip player_id='2386798' first='Bo' last='Grabner'] is more of a true post player than his older brother. He is working at improving his ability to exchange ends on the floor while also being more of a defensive presence in the lane. He likes to set screens, play with his back to the basket and get rebounds on both ends of the court. Grabner's physical size and strength allow him to clog up the lane and he also is an effective screener on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2447862"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e5913b85b96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pena is a wing with good size and a strong handle of the basketball. He can set up his defenders on the perimeter with jab steps or ball fakes before scoring off the bounce or from three-point range. Pena played off the bench for Sheboygan North a year ago when the senior-dominated Golden Raiders finished 19-8. Pena can play either guard position and the small forward spot as well. He figures to be one of coach Eric Worth's go-to players this winter due to his versatile offensive skill package.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2399710"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e59430418fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cracking the starting lineup at Racine Case will be a challenge for Ortiz as coach Jake Berce has five starters back from a year ago. However, that doesn't mean Ortiz won't play a big role for a very good Eagles' squad this winter. A herky-jerky combination guard with lots of moves, Ortiz can play either guard position so his versatility is a plus. He did play varsity minutes in a reserve role as a sophomore so the speed of the game and the physicality of older players probably won't bother him as he looks to supply scoring and quickness to the Eagles' rotation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2531185"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e5943041952"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Korpela made the long trek from Ashland to Appleton to compete at The Expo against players from all over the state. That alone should give you and indication of how much he loves the game and likes to compete. His lack of size was a factor at times as he went up against backcourt players with several inches on him. But he also battled his way to loose balls and buried some deep three-point shots. Korpela was a key player for a very successful JV1 team at Ashland last season and figures to work his way into the varsity playing rotation in 2025-26.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2408737"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e595f273f47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A very quick lead guard who gets into the lane and then drops off nice passes to his cutting teammates, Coleman was an unselfish player at The Expo. Not only did he look for his teammates off of his penetration, but he also passed the ball ahead in transition and moved the ball from side to side in the half court. Coleman played alongside talented teammates [player_tooltip player_id='2498966' first='Darrius' last='Peete'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2140982' first='Torrence' last='Rivera'] and he fit in right in with his ability to break down a defense and get the ball to players who could score. Coleman also knocked down a three-point jumper for Team 13 and scored well in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
