Battle at the Lakes: Sunday's Wisconsin standouts

Here is a look at some of the players from Wisconsin who performed well Sunday at the annual Prep Hoops Battle at the Lakes club event held at Wayzata High School in Plymouth, Minnesota.    Tiutczenko was outstanding in [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP']'s impressive 69-68 victory over the [program_tooltip program_id='2076033' first='Wisconsin' last='Playmakers'] P32 squad. He used his size and toughness to hold off opponents while snatching down huge rebounds on the defensive end while spotting up and drilling six three-point baskets on the offensive side of things. Tiutczenko's skill level, particularly his shooting from deep, is his No. 1 asset. His size and strength also are strong areas. He is a player who figures to pick up NCAA Division II and, possibly, some Division I offers in the coming days and weeks since his combination of size, strength and skill are in such demand for the next level.     It was a very good weekend for Gustafson, who had NCAA DII coaches watching each time he competed at the Battle at the Lakes event at Wayzata High School. And he didn't disappoint as his smooth jumper swished through the nets at a high level all weekend. Known as one of the better marksman from outside the arc in the state's 2026 class, Gustafson also displayed plenty of grit and toughness when battling for rebounds and when trying to keep opponents away from the basket. He understands proper positioning to overcome a lack of true quickness when guarding, and he is a threat each time he touches the ball on the other end of the court. He finished with a game-best 20 points in [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP']'s win over the Playmakers.     Ramus has evolved as a player over the past few seasons. He was known primarily as a shooter during his freshman and sophomore years, but now is considered a true point guard thanks to his ball handling, shooting, passing and, perhaps most importantly, decision making. Teams seem to run better when he has the ball in his hands and is directing things on offense. And if you sag off of him to prevent drives to the basket, he will stop on a dime and bury a jump shot. At times, Ramus is almost too unselfish as he often passes up shot opportunities in order to move the ball to a teammate. He has a NCAA DII scholarship offer from Northern Michigan, and an assistant from that school was at each of his outings at the Battle at the Lakes.     Anderson figures to fill out over the next couple of seasons and become more of a physical player as he has a true basketball frame. But right now, the forward from Superior is known for his skill. He can handle the ball and he can face up from outside the arc and drain three-point shots. Additionally, he has the size and length to defend and be a factor when rebounding. Anderson had it going for the Playmakers in their narrow loss to [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP'] as he buried six three-point baskets and scored 18 points. He missed maybe two or three shots in the game and was a factor defending as well as scoring. He currently holds NCAA DII scholarship offers from Michigan Tech and Minnesota-Duluth.     Sweeney never appears to tire on the basketball court. He goes full speed from the opening minute until the closing seconds. He is a terrific ball handler, a solid on-ball defender and a point guard who can push the ball in transition while also getting into the lane in the half court. At times, Sweeney found the terrain near the hoop difficult to navigate against Team Warwick as the South Dakota club had 6-9 and 6-6 forwards waiting for him. He he nonetheless finished with 16 points and did a solid job of making foul shots near the end of the contest in an effort to salt away the win. Unfortunately for [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848'], a late three did them in as Team Warwick came from behind to register a 72-71 victory in a physical, hotly contested game.     Uhlenbrauck is the very definition of shooting guard. It's who he is and what he does. And he does it at a high level as his sweet jumper was falling to the tune of three big second-half triples in the one-point loss to Team Warwick. Uhlenbrauck did a good job of moving without the basketball in an effort to get free for clean looks at the basket. And once he gets his feet set and fires from deep, the results are usually positive. As a junior at Saint Mary Catholic, Uhlenbrauck made 76-of-178 attempts from deep for 43 percent. He also made 83 percent of his foul shots in 2024-25. And at 6-foot-2, Uhlenbrauck has the size and strength to guard well on the perimeter while also digging out some key rebounds.     A quick lead guard who handles the ball exceptionally well and is fearless going to the basket. That pretty much sums up the play of Ise, who had a team-best 16 points for the [program_tooltip program_id='2076025' first='Wisconsin' last='Blaze'] Inferno 17U squad in its 62-60 loss to Drive Pro Select. Ise popped in a three, converted drives over taller defenders and got to the foul line for the Blaze. He also exerted some solid on-ball defensive pressure with his lateral quickness and aggressiveness. At times, Ise over penetrated and got himself into some trouble. However, when the lane got clogged and he kicked out to his open teammates, the results were positive as the Blaze rallied from a 13-point second-half deficit to take the lead before losing on a late three-point shot.     The [program_tooltip program_id='2076025' first='Wisconsin' last='Blaze'] Inferno squad trailed by 13 points in the early portions of the second half in its contest with Drive Pro Select out of Iowa. Enter Mr. Bartel. He came down and buried not one, not two, but three huge three-point shots to get the Blaze back into the contest. He had a fourth appear to go down only to rattle out. Bartel finished with 11 points in the game while also doing a solid job of hitting the glass on both ends of the court. He is a versatile 6-foot-4 wing who can play on the perimeter or use his size, length and strength to do some damage in the post.     Beaman and his teammates on the [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848'] Under Armour Rise 17U squad played a very strong game in a 72-71 loss to Team Warwick out of South Dakota. Beaman was effective in different ways. He scored from outside the three-point arc and from the foul line. He also used his length and aggressiveness off the dribble to get to the basket for some baskets. Beaman finished with 15 points in the tightly contested game, and showed the ability to score at all three levels for [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848']. Beaman averaged 18.8 points and 5.7 rebounds as a junior while helping Oconto Falls to a 15-11 record. He earned unanimous first-team all-North Eastern Conference recognition.
