Dawson and Anderson were the top two scorers for De Pere last season. The Redbirds are off to an impressive start to the season as they beat Milwaukee Riverside and Divine Savior Holy Angels in the Thanksgiving Shootout at Brookfield Central. Morgan Anderson finished with 16 points in each of the first two games. Sussex Hamilton opens at #2 after an impressive start of their own to the season. Last year's runner-up Milwaukee King begins the season at #3 and Bay Port and Superior round out the top 5.

Division 2

Monona Grove returns their whole team from last season and started the season with a bang as they scored over 100 points in a win over Evansville to start the season. The Silver Eagles also got a victory over DeForest and open ranked #1 in the WisSports.net Coaches Poll. Pius XI have wins over Oak Creek, New Berlin Eisenhower and South Milwaukee and come in at #2 in the opening poll. New London, last year's state champion, open at #3 while Beaver Dam and Notre Dame finish out the top 5.
