Arrowhead proves to a be top contender
When March rolls around, don’t be surprised if Arrowhead is able to make a deep tournament run. The Warhawks are very good. Led by

form underrated duo
It is now time for the rest of the state to wake up and realize how good Burch and Murchison are. Burch is a dynamic scorer who can get buckets from all three levels. Murchison is a strong, powerful forward. He uses his size and athletic ability to dominate the paint on both ends of the court. Over the weekend, the Milwaukee Hamilton duo combined to score 48 points in a blowout win.
Dominican’s young core continues to thrive
Dominican fell to a very good Pius XI squad on Saturday. But even though they lost, I still thought that Dominican’s young prospects impressed. Markel Webb scored 21 points,

posts efficient stat line in win
It doesn’t always have to be an insane stat line. Sometimes efficiency gets the headlines. In a win for Lakeside Lutheran on Saturday, Birkholz posted 16 points on 6-7 shooting. Over the course of the past couple seasons, Birkholz has become one of my favorite prospects to watch. He is a very smart player who always makes the right basketball play.

leads Marquette University past Catholic Memorial
While playing for Chapman Basketball Academy this past AAU season, Minessale’s stock skyrocketed. The small forward impressed scouts with his ability to slash to the paint and make plays at the rim. So far this high school season, the SF has continued to play at a high level. In a win for Marquette University on Saturday, Minessale tallied 21 points.
Muskego’s balanced scoring proves to be dangerous
In a blowout win over Menomonee Falls, Muskego’s balanced scoring was too much to handle. On Saturday, four Muskego prospects were able to score over 15 points. Through five games, Muskego is 5-0. Keep an eye on this squad — they could make some noise in March.
