Middleton over Madison East

Probably going to keep this one a little shorter then normal as I'm posting this in a hurry after being a week behind on this game and trying to catch up with my post of the Midwest Classic. This was a game that gave me the first shot at seeing East star 6'6 junior Keshawn Justice play and see where Middleton is at, at this point in the season.

Justice didn't disappoint early on as he came out firing and I think hit four huge threes in the first half. Justice has really filled out in the past year and seems to have grown physically, which shouldn't between shocking between a sophomore and junior year. I really see Justice will be even most successful at the next level because he's really a shooter that could be a great second or third option where he can sit outside and drop the threes, where right now he has to be the man and Mr. everything at the high school level. For Middleton 5'11 senior Storm Murphy really struggled early on and couldn't buy a basket but, thankfully team mate 6'5 senior Tyree Eady came with a ton of energy and was grabbing rebounds and really making those "dirty" buckets on the inside with his hustle. It kept seeing like East was on the verge of taking this game over but, every time East would turn the ball over and it let to fast break buckets for Middleton.

In the second half 5'8 junior Datril Thompson got things going as he was nearly impossible to keep from getting to the rim. Thompson drove time and time again to the rim and Middleton had no one to stop him. Murphy did eventually hit some threes in this game but, he shot a lot and I mean a lot. 6'1 senior Myron Ashford hit a pair of monster threes which he seems to do every game. I also have to give a shoutout to Middleton junior Alan Roden. Roden is only listed at 5'11 but, he gets a ton of rebounds and I swear when he's in the game every rebound is his and he's usually one of the shorter guys on the court. 6'6 senior Steve Wooten didn't start the game for East for whatever reason but, he did show some good play in this game rebounding and scoring in transition. Late in the game Middleton was able to salt the game away with some sweet free throw shooting from 6'5 senior Ben Jackson who has a very nice three point shot as well as a free throw shot that doesn't hit the rim.

Top Players 
Storm Murphy 5'11 senior Middleton- Despite his troubles he does control the game and he got his 15 points. Can get his shot at any time and can finish at the rim with either hand but, sometimes he does settle for difficult he shots he can make but, he's settling.

Tyree Eady 6'5 senior Middleton- Controlled the glass on both side and worked incredibly hard scoring on the tough buckets on the inside.

Keshawn Justice 6'6 junior Madison East- Couldn't miss in the first half and he doesn't need much room to get that shot off with his size and quick release.

Datril Thompson 5'8 junior Madison East- Was limited in the first half due to foul trouble but, he could get to the rim any time he wanted and everyone knew he was driving the ball.

Box Score
MD 70- Eady 17 Murphy 16 CJ Fermanish 11 Jackson 9 Jack Smith 5 Ashford 6 Brogan Brunker 4 Davis Rouquet 2 Parker Sigmon 0 Alan Roden 0
ME 61- Justice 22 Wooten 12 Thompson 10 Kenny Jones 8 Cameron Cratic 6 Chris Warren 2 Davion Washington 1 Earl Lewis 0 Nick Wilcox 0

I know this wasn't much of a post but, just trying to get it in, in a short time where I don't have a ton of time to write. Also something to take note of is that Madison Memorial has defeated Middleton for the second time this year and seem poised to take a 13th straight conference title. Both of these teams were thought to have the ability to take Memorial down and they may both need to wait another year as Memorial is rounding into form but, there is still a lot of season left.

Regis lost to Altoona which isn't terrible behind that they have a very good record and are D3 so Regis falls to eight. Howards Grove lost to St Mary's Springs, dropping them to 15 and allowing Springs to jump into the 13 spot. Marathon lost to Columbus Catholic which isn't surprising since CC is #1 D5 team so Marathon holds put with all the teams behind them losing.

Swingfam Showcase

Took in the Swingfam Showcase yesterday which involved teams that had players that play for the Swing AAU team. This lead to some very good teams and out of the eight teams five of them were ranked in the top 10 of their division, two of which were ranked #1 in their division. I missed the opening game where a ranked D5 team in Seneca took down ranked D3 team Columbus.

Madison Edgewood 60 Lake Mills 58
I got to this game just a little late and missed tip off so I just couldn't get into this game and honestly didn't watch much of Edgewood and was more focused on Lake Mills as they were one of the top ranked D3 teams. Lake Mills is an extremely undersized team that rely on the outside shooting and they have two very solid senior guards in 6'1 Brady Wagner and 6'1 Alex Ranney. Wagner is a sharp shooter from the outside whose shot really wasn't falling today and Ranney is a hard nosed point guard whose outside shot also wasn't falling but, did a very nice job of posting up smaller defenders. In the end it was Lake Mills struggles from the outside and their lack of rebounding that killed them. Edgewood was typical Edgewood team in that they rotated a lot and went pretty deep in their bench. Their two stars 6'3 junior Mandela Deang and 6'4 senior Alex Arians didn't have great games from the outside but, they did a lot of damaged on the offensive glass.

Ripon 70 Lakeside Lutheran 53
Lutheran was vastly over matched in this game but, they played extremely hard throughout and the future is very bright for them. They started three sophomores who were very impressive in 6'0 Will DeNoyer, 6'4 Jack Monis, and 6'6 Cameron Paske. Right now they rely heavily on their star 6'4 senior Cameron Kuepers but, the three I mentioned I will be interested to watch Lakeside Lutheran the next two years. Ripon looks every bit the top team in D3. They have three seniors that are extremely impressive. 6'8 Bennett Vander Plas might be the top post player in the state and has a soft touch shooting the ball from 15 foot and in and just dominates the game in every aspect at times even hitting the three, 6'4 Edward Muench is a sharp shooter from the outside and moves extremely well moving without the ball and playing off of Vander Plas, with cuts to the hoop, and 5'7 Melvin Lee who might be the biggest key to this team. Lee gives them a true point guard that they have been missing and he gets a relatively slow team to push the ball in transition and gives the team that super athlete.

Waunakee 66 Burlington 34
Not much to say here as this one was over quick as Burlington had only eight points at half time. Not much to say about Burlington 6'2 senior Luke Geiger it a spot up sharp shooter who got into foul trouble early and never got things going and 6'0 junior Nick Klug is a solid ball handler and can get open at any time but, he really struggled to get his shot to fall. Waunakee is a really good team that plays exceptional defense as a team and have a couple very good players. 6'3 junior Mitch Listau is a flat out scorer and you can really see that he could play at the next level as a guard. Goes to his left a little much and isn't super quick but, he can get where he wants at any time. 6'2 junior Mason Steffen is playing off the ball now and not sure if it's better or worse but, he's an exciting player to watch that moves very well without the ball in his hand and isn't afraid to score on the inside as well as knocking down the shot from the outside. Late in the game 6'6 junior Nate Carter really took over and looked impressive scoring from the inside. Carter scored well going over either shoulder and had a nice and one dunk as well which surprised me.

Top 10 Dunks

Last few years I've kept track of the top 10 dunks that I see during the year So far this year I haven't seen a ton of dunks but, have been trying to keep tracking of them and this list will be the top 10 dunks I've seen this year. Some may be because of the shock of the dunk or purely because the dunk was that great. Most of the dunks I saw came in one day at the WBBY Shootout and I just haven't seen a ton of games yet this year.

1. Carlos Curtis 6'3 junior Milwaukee Riverside vs Oshkosh North December 29
Was a little unexpected but, was a very nice dunk. Curtis drove baseline from the left side and came back with his right hand to finish a nice powerful dunk.

2. Marlon Ruffin 6'4 junior Sun Prairie vs Madison West December 20
Not as powerful as Curtis but similar in that he came from the left elbow drove the lane in the half court and again finished with the right hand.

3. Brett Ellestad 6'2 senior Oshkosh North vs Milwaukee Riverside December 29
Mostly here because of the surprise of it. Ellestad caught a full court pass off the bounce and was able to grab it in one motion and finish with the dunk.

4. Xzavier Jones 6'5 sophomore Martin Luther vs Brookfield Academy December 29
In the transition Jones's team mate drove baseline and found a cutting Jones who finished at the rim with a nice one handed dunk.

5. Victor Nwagbaraocha 6'4 senior Milwaukee Pius vs La Crosse Central December 29
Nothing too special here but, it was with a lot of power. Break away dunk and he threw it down hard.

6. Greg Foster jr 6'5 junior Homestead vs Brookfield Central December 29
Another break away dunk but, was a pretty powerful one handed dunk.

7. Jake Ferguson 6'5 senior Madison Memorial vs Middleton December 1
A strong two handed break away dunk.

8. Kobe King 6'4 senior La Crosse Central vs Milwaukee Pius December 29
Team mate drove the lane and dished off to King on the block and he finished with the dunk.

9. Tyler Herro 6'5 junior Whitnall vs Kaukauna December 29
Just a run of the mill dunk on the breakaway.

Week 6 Rankings

WBBY Shootout

Was a good day of basketball but, a very long day that took it's tole on me. It was also two days ago now so I will do my best to do a recap on the long day of basketball where I watched seven straight games and then two halves of two other games. Were some good games, some lopsided games, and some games that were just a little boring which is pretty rare for me to say about a high school game.

Martin Luther 79 Brookfield Academy 49
I got to this game just before half time and this game was basically over before it started. Brookfield Academy is an extremely young team and their big man 6'10 senior Alex Setzer didn't play in the game. Martin Luther really pushed the tempo and looked for their three point shooters after they pushed that tempo and they were hitting their threes.

Kettle Moraine Lutheran 66 St. Thomas More 58
Thinking back now I really don't remember much of this game Lutheran was their typical team with no real star and just a very solid top eight players that they could rotate in. 6'2 senior Joey Behm is one of the few seniors on the team and he made his presence known from the outside hitting threes. For St Thomas More their star 5'10 senior Jason Klatt could never get himself going and really forced a lot.

Beaver Dam 63 Wausau West 61 
I watched this game and I was still surprised that this game went to over time. Beaver Dam clearly was the better team in my eyes but, Wausau West played extremely hard and fought to the bitter end and could of just as well as won this game. I don't know much about Nate Lemmons the coach of West but, he really impressed me and really got his players to play extremely hard for him. I will be curious to watch West in coming years. For Beaver Dam 5'11 senior Garrett Nelson was the best player in the game but, late in the game he forced things a bit too much an was out of control at times.

Wauwatosa East 62 Whitefish Bay Dominican 49
Tosa East may of won the game but, I have more to say about Dominican. East doesn't have any stars just a ton of good players and they are very balanced. Dominican has really took a step back and will probably take a year under Coach Gosz before he can put his stamp on this team. 6'1 junior Gacoby Jones seems a little lost right now in the offense. Last year the point guard dominated the ball and his primary offense was to drive to the rim and finish or dish off to a team mate. This year Jones is playing off the ball a good amount of time and was taking a lot more jumpers from the outside then he did in the past. Domincan overall is a young team with very little experience.

Milwaukee Pius 57 La Crosse Central 56
I think everyone came to watch Badger recruit 6'5 senior Kobe King and Central play and everyone had to come away very impressed by Pius. King did his thing whenever he touched the ball and looked very impressive and 6'0 senior Baily Kale struggled in the first half but, got it going late to bring Central back into this game. Pius came out like gang busters off the bat and jumped Central and Central had to claw back all game long. Pius is long and athletic and can shoot the three very well. Pius's starting lineup consists of five guys between 6'3 and 6'6 and they all move very well and can shoot.

Brookfield Central 59 Homestead 41
This was one of the more boring games as Central jumped out early and Homestead never really threatened to come back at all. Central moved the ball extremely well and have a solid point guard in 5'9 sophomore Gage Malensek and 6'2 junior Andres Peralta-Werns was draining threes from the outside in route to 27 points. Homestead had no offense what so ever other then a few dump downs to their big man but, other then that they settled for outside jumpers that just weren't falling.

Oshkosh North 94 Milwaukee Riverside 84
In a battle of top five teams North really showed that they are the top team in the state right now. Riverside just had nothing of a consistent offensive basis other then their star 6'6 senior Terrence Lewis. Lewis was the most impressive player in the game as he had 29 points in the first half and finished with 43. Lewis was hitting everything from the outside and was able to score on the inside and just seemed to have a nose for the ball. For North it was really a three headed monster that got it done and each took their turn doing it. 6'2 senior Brett Ellestad came off the bench with a monster first half knocking down the three point shot and saved one highlight for the second half with a nice breakaway dunk. 6'5 senior Philip Flory took his turn early in the second half scoring in transition and knocking down some outside shots and 6'5 junior Tyrese Haliburton finished it off when Riverside had to extend their defense and Haliburton was able to drive to the rim and score at will it seemed.

Kaukauna 84 Whitnall 57
This was probably deemed the game of the day but, unfortunately this game didn't live up to it. Whitnall couldn't do anything at all and Badger recruit 6'5 junior Tyler Herro probably had one of the worst games of his life scoring nine points and zero in the second half. Their number two guy 6'6 Kevon Taylor didn't even look to shoot it seemed and he hit a pair of shots late in the game. One thing that made this game interesting though was that it was the Jordan McCabe show. The 6'0 junior put on a And One like performance and was playing to the crowd who was oohing and awing all game long and McCabe was loving every second of it and was playing to the crowd. McCabe did it all knocking down NBA threes, scoring in the lane, rebounding, and of course his passing with no looks and behind the backs.

Personal All Showcase Team (from Day 3 anyway)
1st team
Jordan McCabe 6'0 junior Kaukauna
Terrence Lewis 6'6 senior Milwaukee Riverside
Kobe King 6'4 senior La Crosse Central
Garrett Nelson 5'11 senior Beaver Dam
Bailey Kale 6'0 senior La Crosse Central

2nd Team
Tyrese Haliburton 6'5 junior Oshkosh North
Michael Pitrof 6'3 senior Milwaukee Pius
Brett Ellestad 6'2 senior Oshkosh North
Andres Peralta-Werns 6'2 junior Brookfield Central
Carlos Curtis 6'3 junior Milwaukee Riverside

3rd Team
Victor Nwagbaraocha 6'4 senior Milwaukee Pius
Philip Flory 6'5 senior Oshkosh North
Joey Behm 6'2 senior Kettle Moraine Lutheran
Tommy Borta 6'7 senior Wausau West
Gage Malensek 5'9 sophomore Brookfield Central

This tournament always has some great story lines and this one was no different. D2 was the biggest story with Lax Central handling Kaukauna and then going and getting beat by Pius, while Kaukauna dominated Whitnall. Oshkosh North showed their dominance which a huge win over Riverside as did Ripon winning both of their games. Potentially their may of been three state champions here and maybe even four if you count the Prairie School who I didn't get an opportunity to watch.
