<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194315' first='Dooney' last='Johnson']- Milwaukee Juneau 6-5 Junior</strong></p>

Tyler has been as steady as they come to compliment Johnson's star power this year for Pioneers. Takis is impossible to guard when he gets downhill with his speed.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Division 5</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Notes: </strong>1st Team All Marawood North Conference performer. 17ppg, 7.1rpg, 3.7apg. Hause plays on the interior for Prentice and did a great job of containing [player_tooltip player_id='2406762' first='Brandon' last='Wagner'] in their sectional final game last Saturday. Hause could have a breakout performance in Madison as Southwestern's lineup does not feature a ton of size. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561897' first='Ben' last='Prochnow']- Reedsville 5-10 Senior</strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Notes: </strong>#100 Ranked Player in the 2026 class. Big East North Player of the Year. 21.4ppg, 4.8rpg, 11.1apg. Son of Head Coach Ron Prochnow, Ben is like having a second head coach on the floor. It is rare for Ben to make a mistake on the offensive end, as he currently ranks in the top three for assists across the five divisions. A talented scorer and shooter, Sheboygan Lutheran will have their hands full containing the prolific Prochnow. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2617712' first='Arden' last='Strenn']- Reedsville- 6-3 Senior</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Notes: </strong>1st Team All Big East North Conference performer. 17.3ppg, 7.1rpg 1.7spg. Strenn is an elite offensive rebounder generating second chance opportunities for the Panthers. When he is not cleaning the glass, he is burying triples from well beyond deep for his team. An efficient and physical player, Strenn looks to lead Reedsville to their first state title since 1946. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2551616' first='Aiden' last='Keleher']- Southwestern 6-1 Senior</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Notes: </strong>#170 Ranked Player in the 2026 class. 1st Team All SWAL Conference performer. 16.0ppg, 5.8rpg. Keleher operates the best out of ball screens for the Wildcats, and has a great stop and go move to get downhill. Keleher will be one of the better guards in the Division Five field. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2822992' first='Carsen' last='Splinter']- Southwestern 6'0 Junior</strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Notes: </strong>#251 ranked player in the 2027 class. 1st Team All SWAL Conference performer. 15.7ppg, 6.0rpg, 2.5spg. Splinter is another great guard option for Southwestern. Splinter was instrumental in helping contain talented JT Schalefer after he started the game red hot on Saturday in their Sectional Final. Splinter and Keleher's ability to create and get down hill in their spread actions could be enough for them to beat Prentice in Madison.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2224503' first='Brennen' last='Hackbarth']- Sheboygan Lutheran 6-5 Senior</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Notes: </strong>#89 Ranked player in the 2026 Class. 1st Team All Big East South Performer. Committed to St. Norbert's next season. 21.8ppg, 7.3rpg. Hackbarth does a ton of damage near and at the basket. Brennen is a very physical and physically strong prospect that when he is not finishing directly at the rim, he is drawing contact to make it to the free throw line. Hackbarth has earned 154 free throw attempts this year due to his savvyness to get defenders off balanced. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Mccoy Michael- Sheboygan Lutheran 5-10 Sophomore</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Notes: </strong>#82 Ranked Player in the 2028 class. 2nd Team All Big East South performer. Michael is one of the guards that can make big plays for Head Coach Nick Verhagen. Mccoy had 13 points in their sectional final victory, draining two threes for the Crusaders, and keeping his composure as a young player. </p>
