With the release of the <a href="https://prephoops.com/wisconsin/rankings/2028-rankings/">Prep Hoops Wisconsin Player Rankings for the class of 2028, </a>here is a look at some of the players who joined the rankings for the first time.    Parks' ability to finish plays near the basket is vitally important for Middleton, making it difficult for the opposition to put too much defensive emphasis on just stopping the Cardinals' stellar guards. Parks' ability to provide a physical defensive presence in the lane on the other end makes it tough for opponents to finish in the paint. Parks can attack the basket from the wing or on a dive to the hoop while also having the ability to play and score with his back to the basket. He is having a strong season for a very good Middleton squad as he is averaging 12.6 points per game while shooting 55 percent from the floor. He also tops the Cardinals with 89 rebounds through 11 games (8.1 rpg).     Anderson has earned starting assignments for a very good Oshkosh North team and the sophomore combination guard has responded well for coach Brad Weber. He is averaging 9.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists for the Spartans while also topping the squad in made three-point baskets with 23 through the first 12 games of the season. His competitiveness, quickness and skill are all assets for Oshkosh North, which is 7-5 heading into its next game against Kimberly.     Michalkiewicz is proving to be one of the elite young athletes in the Fox Valley Association. After starting at quarterback for the Cardinals' football team last fall, Michalkiewciz has taken over the starting point-guard duties on the basketball court. Competing for a young team in rugged FVA, Michalkiewicz is averaging 10.2 points. 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists for first-year coach Josh Dilling. In addition, Michalkiewicz leads the Cardinals in made three-point baskets with 46 through the first 13 games of the season.     Cowley does a bit of everything for the Melrose-Mindoro basketball team. He can handle the ball against pressure defense on the perimeter while also keeping his head up and finding cutting teammates. Cowley can score from deep and off the bounce, and he's strong on the glass for the Mustangs. Through the first 12 games of the 2025-26 season, Cowley is averaging 12.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists for a team that starts four underclassmen.     Bradley is proving he can score for a very young Ripon squad. The 6-foot-2 wing prospect is putting in a team-best 23.3 points per game. In addition, his success from three-point range is very impressive as Bradley is 44-of-98 from deep through 11 games for 45 percent. In addition to his scoring, Bradley also is contributing a team-high 7.2 rebounds per game. Bradley's strong play has helped Ripon to a 4-8 record after winning just two games all of last season.     Klopcic provides Fort Atkinson with diversity as the athletic forward can play multiple positions while scoring from outside the three-point arc and in the lane. He is averaging around 13.0 points per game for coach Mike Hintz's squad and is the Blackhawks' No. 2 scoring option behind junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2508477' first='Graeson' last='Geiger']. Klopcic has done a steady job of attacking the basket and either finishing at the rim or earning free-throw opportunities.     Luchetti is leading a very young Monona Grove squad in scoring and rebounding, averaging 14.5 points and 5.0 rebounds for the Silver Eagles. With his older brother, [player_tooltip player_id='2140876' first='Austin' last='Luchetti'], out for the season with an injury, Evan has picked up his game and is scoring from the perimeter, from the mid range and near the basket for coach Dan Zweifel's squad. Luchetti has a smooth jump shot and the size to shoot over smaller defenders. He has helped Monona Grove to a 7-7 record competing against top-level teams in and outside of league play.     Playing big minutes for one of the better teams in the Madison area, Muniz is producing at a high level for coach Tyler Selk and the Warriors. The transfer from Arizona is averaging almost three made three-point shots per contest while helping Waunakee to an 11-4 record against a challenging schedule. In addition, Muniz is contributing 11.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per outing. His competitiveness, quickness and aggressiveness are major assets for the Warriors.     Competing for the state's top-ranked WIAA Division 5 squad, Michael is a very quick lead guard who can defend on the perimeter, push the ball in transition and score from deep and off the bounce. He competes with plenty of energy throughout the game and usually ends up with an impressive stat line for the Crusaders. Helping Sheboygan Lutheran to a 12-2 record, Michael is averaging 15.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.2 steals for a high-powered offense.
