Under-The-Radar Standouts: Large Schools

Following are updated player profiles for some of the standout high school basketball players in Wisconsin who, for a variety of reasons, fly a bit under the radar. None of these players are ranked among the top 100 in their respective class in the Prep Hoops Wisconsin Player Rankings, but each is having an impactful season for their high school teams. So, today, we give them their due. Presenting the Prep Hoops Wisconsin "Under-the-Radar Standouts: Large Schools" squad, which covers Divisions 1-3.    Some times you have to wait your turn to shine. Such is the case with Braun. After receiving limited playing time as a junior, Braun has blossomed into an all-league caliber player for Madison Memorial as a senior. His hard work and love for the game has yielded big results for one of the state's top teams. Braun leads Madison Memorial in scoring, averaging just over 16 points per game. And his ability to score off the dribble and from outside the three-point arc is huge for coach Steve Collins' squad. Braun is also one of the better players in the Big Eight Conference in drawing fouls and earning trips to the free throw line.     The talented guards at Tomah get much of the acclaim for the Timberwolves, but Cram is, without question, one of the top frontline players not only for Tomah but also in the competitive Mississippi Valley Conference. Now listed at 6-foot-5, Cram has the mobility to move inside and outside while also possessing the skill set to hurt opponents facing the basket from the perimeter or going inside and using his length and height to score at the rim. Cram is averaging 12.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists for the Timberwolves and continues to take impressive strides in his game.     Dickerson roams the perimeter looking for openings from three or gaps in the defense that allow him to penetrate. He does both of those things very well. He also uses his length and mobility to get into passing lanes and make it difficult for opponents to shoot over his outstretched rams. Dickerson is having a very good junior campaign for a very good D.C. Everest squad. The lankly 6-foot-5 wing is averaging 14.8 points and 2.9 rebounds while also shooting 47 percent from three-point range (26 of 55). In the Evergreens recent 82-77 win over highly regarded Marshfield, Dickerson had 26 points and made five three-point baskets.     Healy's versatility and poise on the basketball court have been huge factors in the Raiders' successful season. The combination guard is averaging 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists as Hudson has won 15 of 19 outings. In addition to his stat line, Healy plays with a very good feel for the game and picks his spots wisely while also being extremely unselfish. Healy is shooting 47 percent from three-point range, making 36-of-76 tries from outside the arc through 19 contests.     Labus has stepped up his productivity in a big-time way for yet another very good squad at West Salem. After averaging 5.1 ppg and 5.0 rpg as a junior, the mobile 6-foot-6 forward is putting up 16.5 ppg and 8.2 rpg as a senior while helping the Panthers to a 17-2 record. Labus' ability to use his versatility on offense along with his size on defense have been huge factors in the success for West Salem, which is closing in on its fifth consecutive championship in the Coulee Conference.     Port Washington might be the surprise team of the state in 2025-26 as the Pirates have won 18 of 19 games and lead the newly formed Glacier Trails Conference. And the biggest reason for the Pirates' rise to the top has been the play of Loose, a smart and skilled backcourt ace who is averaging 18.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists. Loose also is shooting 41 percent from three-point range and has made 47 triples for the Pirates. Defensively, Loose uses his size, quickness and competitiveness to make it difficult on opposing guards.     A very good baseball prospect, Noller also is making a name for himself on the hardwood this winter. Despite missing some games, Noller is putting up impressive numbers for Elk Mound, which is 8-10 overall but 7-3 in its new home, the Western Cloverbelt Conference. Noller is averaging 18.5 points and 8.4 rebounds for the Mounders, using his size, strength and bounce to create havoc for opponents. In a recent win over state-ranked Stanley-Boyd, Noller went for 22 points and six rebounds while also making four-of-nine shots from beyond the three-point arc.     A bouncy wing prospect who is having a monster season for one of the state's top WIAA Division 3 teams, Nottling can finish above the rim, from the foul line and from outside the three-point arc. His numbers are extremely impressive -- 24.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 2.0 spg for a team that has won 15 of 16 games and is battling for the championship in the Midwest Classic Conference. The muscular senior has made 44-of-99 tries from three-point range for 44 percent. He had 30 points in a recent win over Brookfield Academy and looks to take Watertown Luther Prep far once the WIAA playoffs get underway next month.     A recent commitment for NCAA Division III Northwestern College in St. Paul, Skates is one of the better backcourt players in the Southern Lakes Conference. He can fill up a stat sheet in several different areas and his strong play is a big reason why Badger is 13-6 on the campaign. Skates is averaging 15.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.4 steals for the Badgers, and went for 31 points and six three-point baskets in a recent victory over Wilmot.     Known as a terrific soccer player for the strong program at Notre Dame, Weber also is an accomplished performer on the basketball court. When you have 99 assists compared with just 29 turnovers, people tend to take notice. And that's exactly what Weber has contributed to the Notre Dame program. In addition, Weber is shooting over 40 percent from three-point range and is averaging 14.8 ppg and 4.9 apg for the Tritons, who have won 15 of 20 games and have huge outings with [program_tooltip program_id='2829078' first='West' last='De Pere'], Sheboygan North, Bay Port and De Pere remaining on the schedule.
