Kniseley anchored the Blair/Taylor backcourt with his two-way play and relentless energy. A hard-nosed defender and capable shooter, he made life difficult for opposing guards. He also contributed timely scoring for his squad. He averaged 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game. His top performance came against Eleva-Strum, where he finished with 24 points and 6 steals, including back-to-back threes to turn the momentum late.

Balancing his academic schedule while also playing two varsity sports, Kniseley has set a strong foundation for future success. He has excelled as a student-athlete, maintaining a 3.95 weighted GPA in addition to participating in athletics.

On the basketball court, Kniseley averaged 13 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals per game last season, showcasing his skill and versatility for Blair-Taylor.

I’ve caught a very limited amount of Ethan’s play with Chippewa Valley Select on the Prep Hoops Circuit, and I was looking forward to seeing him play in this event. He did not disappoint. Kniseley has a high basketball IQ and pairs that with a strong body and athleticism to offset less than optimal height. He is solid in all phases. He will take on larger players, driving to the hoop and keeping his body between the defender and the ball to convert over them or draw the foul. He leverages his ability to drive and score to also drive and kick, giving his teammates open looks on the perimeter. When on the perimeter himself, Ethan can and will knock down the three-ball. Ethan doesn’t let up on the defensive end and is an aggressive on-ball defender.
