All Shooter Team

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately but, theres just been a lot going on and not much time to write. The Badgers looked horrible in their final game of the year while the four number ones seeds made it to the final four which wasn't a huge surprise to anyone. The only good game of the weekend was Davidson vs Kansas, which Davidson could of won if Stephen Curry could of gotten a three off. The baseballs opening day was yesterday which provide some new excitement in my sports world. This means that my postings will begin to focus on baseball and slow pitch softball. Speaking of which Saturday was my first time out on the field and took some batting practice and a little defense, already getting real excited for the season. Well anyway on to my all shooter team which may be my final high school basketball posting of the year unless something else strikes me. I'll also be posting my sixth man of the year.

1st Team
6'7 JR Michael Hanson Lacrosse Aquinas- Best shooting big man in the state. Falls in love with the three a little too much at times and needs to look to score on the inside.
6'2 SR Ryan Rasmussen Waupun- Was lights out in the game I saw him as he scored 18 first quarter points.
6'0 SR Jimmy Merritt Lake Geneva Badger- Single handily kept Badger in the state game against Madison Memorial with the three ball.
6'3 SR Michael Griffin Iola Scandinavia- Knocks down some of the deepest three pointers in the state and doesn't need much room to get his shot off.
6'4 SR Aris Wurtz Waupun- If he gets a chance to spot up the shots going to drop.

2nd Team
6'1 SR Alex Izzo New Berlin Eisenhower- Dominated the state championship game with his three point shooting. When he's hot he just doesn't miss.
6'4 SR Jon Stubbe Middleton- Best spot up shooter I saw all year long. He sets his feet the shots going to fall.
5'11 JR Johnny Lacy Milwaukee Bay View- Very good three point shooter off the dribble.
6'1 SR Michael Knop Madison Lafollette- Didn't play big minutes but, when he came in you knew he was gonna drop a three and he usually did just that.
6'1 SR Cashton Craig Madison Lafollette- When he gets hot he doesn't even need to be looking at the hoop for his shot to fall.

HM
6'0 JR Jade Royston Wisconsin Dells- Very tough shooter then never lets his struggles get him down. He may struggle in a game but, when the game is on the line he'll knock down the shot.
6'0 SR Marc Manske River Valley- Big time gamer that gets his feet set very quickly and knock down a ton of shots in a hurry.
6'2 SR Brett Semenas Middleton- Another very very good spot up shooter.
5'9 SR Josh Regal Suring- Very good shooter off the dribble, with a great mid range jumper.
6'0 JR Mitch Tordoff Monroe- Knocks down the deep threes with ease give him room and the shot will fall.

Now it comes down to the sixth man award. It came down to two guys. Eric Williams for Wauwatosa East and Kirk Nicklaus from Lacrosse Aquinas. Williams probably would of started for most teams in the state but, for some reason the East coach decided to bring him off the bench. Nicklaus had a great state tournament but, Williams did it for the entire year as he was second on the Tosa East team in scoring. Therefor Eric Willams of Wauwatosa East is my sixth man of the year (Yes he started half the games but, didn't start a majority and came off the bench in the two of the three games I saw him).

Well that concludes my high school basketball talk for the year and we will now start the baseball and softball talk.
