The 6-foot-3 wing prospect was extremely active on the glass generating buckets for himself and creating extra offensive possessions for Watertown. Washetas does the little things for Watertown, takes charges, defends teams' better players, and dives on the floor for loose balls to complement his offensive skillset. Washetas finished the game with a double double (14 points, 10 rebounds). He was extended with an offer to play at Maranatha College in Watertown earlier this fall.     The 6-foot-0 junior sniper was all over the scoring column for Waukesha South on Saturday morning. DeGeorge is a tremendous outside shooter for South and had four triples from well beyond the three-point arc in their game versus Watertown. DeGeorge also was able to create in transition, finish through contact, and iced out the game at the line for South. DeGeorge is shifty, under control, and can hit threes off the bounce and off screens. DeGeorge averages nearly 24 points per game and shoots 41 percent from three. DeGeorge is trending to have a big spring and summer with 24:UP.     It is hard to miss Crawford's interior presence during games. The 6-foot-5 senior is very strong and dominates the paint when he is able to catch off of dump offs and post touches. Crawford averages 11 points and 7 rebounds and he was right around those averages Saturday. Crawford finished with 15 points and a bunch of rebounds, is intelligent with floor spacing, and sneaks behind his defender in the dunker space, allowing for his teammates to locate him on drives and dump offs. Crawford is a tough guard in the paint and was extremely solid for Waukesha South.     Hayes is a volume scorer who can get it going from all three levels. The son of Watertown coach Chad Hayes, Mac Hayes is averaging 16 points per game in his junior campaign. The left-handed backcourt prospect is crafty getting downhill to both hands and operates well off of high ball screens. Hayes had 14 of his 19 points in the second half, scoring off pick and roll pull-ups and his crafty skillset to finish around the rim.     Timmel plays a swiss-army knife type role for the Goslings. Calvin does the dirty work for the Goslings, takes charges, blocks shots, distributes from the high post and rebounds with relentless energy. He has a long frame and is extremely twitchy and bouncy in the half court and in transition. The 6-foot-3 junior is shifty in the post with his quick feet and can hit the outside shot when left open as well. Timmel had a double double for the Goslings finishing with 20 points and 11 rebounds for the game. Timmel competes with his teammate Washetas on [program_tooltip program_id='2517147' first='Wisconsin' last='Breakaway']     Webb was very impressive in Hartford's victory over a talented Monona Grove team. Ethan is always under control for the Orioles and finishes well off of two feet. Webb showcased his versatility for Hartford hitting three first half threes, attacking the basket well, and finishing a nice tip-in at the buzzer. Ethan also competes his butt off for Hartford, flying all over the floor. He consistently erases three point shots when he rotates in helpside defense. Webb averages 12.2ppg and 5 rebounds for Hartford who is now 15-6 on the season. The Orioles have a lot of good basketball ahead of them and the 6-foot-2 junior is a big reason why.     Luchetti was incredible for Monona Grove on Saturday. The 6-foot-3 sophomore was getting buckets in a major way against Hartford. Luchetti utilized his deep bag of skills to explode for 19 points in the first half against the Hartford scoring from all three levels. Evan uses his body extremely well from the mid post, off the bounce, and off the ball. Luchetti has great footwork and is rarely sped up or out of control. Luchetti finished the game with 26 points despite MG losing by 19. When MG is healthy with Evan's older brother Austin next season, look out! Luchetti should be considered a stock riser and a player to watch this spring and summer.     Kuepper displayed his limitless range in the Beaver Dam Fieldhouse on Saturday. Alex had five threes on eight attempts and propelled the Orioles' offense in the second half, finishing the game with 26 points. Kuepper in addition to his shooting, scored well off of mid range pullups and attacking downhill. The 5'11 junior hit some very difficult runners over some lengthy defenders. Kuepper has great vision in Coach Chris Smith's dribble drive system and can dish the ball well to his teammates on kick outs and dump offs. Alex is averaging nearly 13 points a game and close to 40% from 3. He is one of the many scoring weapons for Hartford, who could make a deep run this postseason.     Marks had the best performance out of any player in the first three games. The 6-foot- 5 senior is a cheat code around the basket with his quick footwork, lower body strength, and touch off the glass. Marks had 25 points and was relentless on the glass blowing up Lake Mills on the o-glass. Marks is hearing from smaller division three schools and NAIAs for his next act in basketball. Kyler will be a productive college basketball player for the school that lands his commitment. Marks finished through double teams and a talented [player_tooltip player_id='2346694' first='Tyler' last='Wollin'] to earn his points the hard way on Saturday. Marks averages over 22 a game and 9 rebounds a game for Head Coach Bobby Kutcha. If Kyler can continue his dominance, there may not be an argument for Bay Conference player of the year with Marks leading the conversation.     Krause was quiet in the scoring column finishing with 8 points, but was exceptional on the defensive end. Krause is a dynamic scorer, but much like the rest of the Seymour squad, is unselfish when it is not their game scoring. Krause was tasked with guarding [player_tooltip player_id='1745860' first='Brady' last='Benish'], a sharp shooting senior committed to Dubuque, in the second half on Saturday. Jordan, who is ranked #10 in the most recent Prep Hoops 2028 rankings, held Benish to just one three point basket in the second half. Krause is one of the many two way scoring options for Seymour, as they look to push to the state tournament in a few weeks.     Christian is a wing player that is rapidly improving his skillset and strength. The 6 foot-1 junior had 16 points to lead the L-Cats in the scoring column in their game against Seymour. Christian, who competes for [program_tooltip program_id='2078835' first='Wisconsin' last='Swing'] during club season, is a tremendous finisher through contact. Several times Collin was able to extend and use his body to finish through the strong and long Seymour frontcourt players. Christian is a sneaky athlete that can impact the game on both sides of the basketball. The L-Cats are going to need his scoring and defensive presence if they want to make a deep tournament run in March. Christian is averaging 15.5ppg for longtime Head Coach Steve Hicklin and should be on the Capital North all conference team later on this season.     Wollin is a phenomenal multi-sport athlete that excels in both basketball and football. Wollin finished the game with 13 points and a handful of nice assists in transition. Tyler much like the other players on this article, is a tremendous 2-way player that can disrupt opposing offenses. Wollin, Christian, and Benish form a solid trio of scorers for Lake Mills. Wollin uses his size to get downhill and finish over the top of defenders. He is a consistent three point shooter, and can rise up to hit midrange fadeways out of the mid post. Wollin averages 17.6ppg and could go for a triple double on any given night with his ability to see the floor. Tyler will be a player to monitor this club season and surely will have interest in both basketball and football to play at the next level.
