Divison Three Preseason

Division three might be the most interesting division in the state. There are just so many good teams that could probably compete with most of the top D1 schools. This division also brings the most controversy with the private verse public debate. Since private schools have join the WIAA this division has been dominated by privates and this year should be no different.

1. Racine St Catherines- St Cats bring back four starters from last year and are led by a trio of 6'3 seniors in the Lawson twins and Jake Thomas.
2. Eau Claire Regis- State team a year ago, return their two best players in 6'3 junior Adam Ganske and 5'11 junior Jack Eaton.
3. Lacrosse Aquinas- Defending state champs return seniors 6'1 Jimmy Whitehead and 6'7 Michael Hanson.
4. Whitefish Bay Dominican- Always tough Knights bring back 5'11 senior Jerrel Harris and 6'4 junior Mikael Luter along with most of their bench.
5. Laconia- 6'3 senior Derek Semenas is a D1 recruit that can go off at any time.
6. Marshall- Bring back lots of experience and height.
7. Milwaukee Northwest- Coming out of the City Conference they will be well prepared for tournament play.
8. Manitowoc Roncalli- Strong tradition and emergence of 6'0 sophomore Ben Stelzer should carry team.
9. Luck- D4 state team year ago brings back 6'5 senior Brennan Olson.
10. Cuba City- Scrappy team is led by sharpshooter 6'2 junior Evan Richard.

I will admit I show some favoritism to players that I have actually seen in person, just because its so difficult to rank players based on what others say. Well in the next coming days will be D4 preview and the season will begin in a week.
