Wisconsin Expo: Team 9 Evaluations

Kettle Moraine went 25-1 a year ago with a senior dominated lineup so Losenegger played on the JV1 team for the Lasers. He showed in Appleton is he ready for the prime time in 2025-26 as he made one impressive play after another for Team 9. A 6-foot-4 wing with good jumping ability and skill, Losenegger competes with high energy and possesses a good feel for the game. He can make three-point shots, but seems to be more at home taking the ball to the basket and scoring with his size and bounce. Look for Losenegger to play a big role for coach Brian Richert's squad this winter.     Notre Dame is loaded with good guards, but it will be difficult to keep Donart-Manty off the floor as his hustle, aggressiveness and toughness help him make winning players for his team. Donart-Manty played a key role for Notre Dame's 13-8 JV1 squad last winter. He will attempt to break into the Tritons' regular guard rotation with his court savvy and ability to put points up in bunches.     An under-the-radar backcourt player who simply does many different things to help his team. Papka can get deflections, steals and rebounds on defense while also scoring in different ways on the offensive end of the court. Papka can lead or score in transition and got four baskets in a game against Team 10 on the fast break. A key returning player for Kenosha Tremper, Papka is poised to have an all-league type of season for the Trojans.     A locked-and-loaded three-point shooter, you don't have to insist that Ostrowski let go with a three-point attempt. He's seemingly always ready to fire away and the results can be positive for his team as he found the bottom of the net several times for Team 9 in its outing against Team 10. Ostrowski competed with the JV1 team at Wauwatosa East last winter and hopes his jump shot and length can help him earn a spot in the Red Raiders' playing rotation in 2025-26.     Thin combination guard who handled the ball well for Team 9 at The Expo last Sunday in Appleton. The New Berlin Eisenhower junior displayed some play-making ability in addition to his solid ball handling skills. Competing for an Eisenhower squad that plays in the very tough Woodland West Conference, Sarkar was a member of the Lions' JV1 team that finished 17-5. He will push returning players in the backcourt as coach Austin Stueck's squad looks to better an 8-17 record.     Hendricks is an outstanding defender who uses his size, mobility and basketball instincts to keep opponents in front of him while also making it difficult for shooters to get off good looks at the basket. A returning starter for Notre Dame, Hendricks can play either guard spot, can make three-point shots, can move the ball and can get into the lane to score. He is a solid player in virtually every aspect of the game and a guy Notre Dame coach Brian Bobinski will rely on heavily as the Tritons attempts to match or better last year's 21-7 record.     A guy who is wired to score in the backcourt, Robinson hunted shots with his quickness and looked for open teammates with his court vision while continually dribbling into the lane. He is an aggressive player on both ends of the court and calls upon his speed and quick hands to make things difficult for opponents. A times, Robinson might dribble a bit too much, but he's of the mindset to consistently probe the defense for openings. A key returning player for an experienced and high-scoring Audubon Technology squad, Robinson averaged 17.6 points as a sophomore and earned third-team all-Milwaukee City Conference honors in the Blue Division.
