Under-The-Radar Standouts: Small 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 4-5.    Arcand's poise, physical strength and skill level are all keys for Clear Lake, which has won 14 of 20 games under coach Jason Sargent during its first season in the Dunn-St. Croix Conference after previously competing in the Lakeland West. Arcand leads the Warriors in scoring at 20.1 ppg while also pitching in 5.3 rpg and 3.2 apg. He gets to the foul line often as he can penetrate to the basket and either finish or get fouled. Through the first 18 games of the season, Arcand had made 89 of 106 foul shots for 84 percent. He also recently surpassed 1,000 career points with the Warriors.     Chrisman's strong play in 2025-26 has played a big role in the Rebels of Wabeno/Laona finishing undefeated in the Northern Lakes Conference. The talented junior guard is averaging 18.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 steals for a Wabeno/Laona squad that is 16-3 overall and 8-0 in league play. Chrisman is one of the better shooting guards in northern Wisconsin as he has made 57 of 153 tries from beyond the arc for 37 percent.     Quickness on the basketball court can be a huge asset. And Farley is as quick as they come with the ball in his hands. His ability to use a jab fake or ball fake and then zoom around defenders on his way to the basket is difficult to stop because of his explosiveness. He also is a capable shooter from three-point range so defenders cannot just play him for the drive. Defensively, Farley does an excellent job doubling the ball and getting deflections that often lead to steals and layups. He is averaging 25.9 points and a remarkable 6.9 steals for St. Thomas Aquinas, which is 9-9 under Farley's older brother/coach, Jack Farley.     Frozena's versatility on both ends of the court is a big reason why Roncalli is enjoying yet another successful season under coach Josh Erickson. The 6-foot-5 combination forward leads the Jets in rebounding (5.3 rpg) and assists (4.1 apg) while also contributing 9.5 ppg. Defensively, Frozena can guard multiple positions because of his mobility, length and ability to move his feet. A very unselfish player who is willing to do whatever it takes to help Roncalli win, Frozena's maturity as a player figures to bode well for his future in the game.     The son of Rib Lake coach Todd Henderson, [player_tooltip player_id='2629220' first='Jed' last='Henderson'] is having an impressive season for a Rib Lake squad that has won 14 of 19 games while playing a rugged schedule as a member of the Marawood Conference. Henderson is listed at 6-foot-5, but he plays bigger due to his verticality and length. He is close to averaging a double/double at 17.3 ppg and 8.5 rpg. He's also shooting 57 percent from the floor for the Redmen. A three-year varsity performer for Rib Lake, Henderson is nearing 1,000 career points as he currently sits at 923.     Much has been expected of Konieczny since he came into his own his sophomore season while helping the Dons win the WIAA Division 5 state title. And the son of long-time Columbus Catholic coach Joe Konieczny has lived up to those expectations and then some. He earned Player of the Year honors as a junior in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference and again ranks as one of the top backcourt players in central Wisconsin. A true leader as the Dons' point guard, Konieczny is averaging 16.9 points per game and is a threat to score from downtown each time he touches the ball. Also a standout football and baseball player, Konieczny plans to kick for the Lakeland College football team and also play baseball for the Muskies following graduation from Columbus Catholic.     Tangley's stats might not jump off the page, but watch him play and you immediately understand the value he brings to the stellar basketball team at Fall Creek. Tangley's leadership and feel for the game have helped the Crickets to an 18-2 record and a first-place standing in the Western Cloverbelt Conference. The 6-foot-1 combination guard is shooting 46 percent from three-point range (32-of-69) and a team-best 81 percent from the foul stripe. Tangley leads Fall Creek in assists at 5.0 apg while also contributing 13.1 ppg and 3.2 rpg for coach Rick Storlie's club.     Kickapoo is 21-1, ranked No. 1 among WIAA Division 5 teams in the Prep Hoops Wisconsin/WBCA poll and the champions of the Ridge & Valley Conference. And Walter definitely is a big key to the Panthers' success. He has grown some from a year ago and now is listed at 6-foot-8. And he uses his size and length to disrupt things when he's playing defense. He is averaging 10.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocked shots per game while also leading the squad in scoring at 16.4 ppg. In the Panthers' 85-80 overtime win at North Crawford in January, Walter finished with 28 points, 19 rebounds and two blocked shots. His emergence is a major reason Kickapoo is considered one of the favorites to hoist the Division 5 Gold Ball at the Kohl Center next month.
