WSN Senior Boys Basketball Awards -- Shooter Finalists:
M.J. Delmore, Wisconsin Dells -- Delmore is a four-year varsity performer for the Chiefs and turned into one of the elite players in the state his senior season. Leading the Dells to a 23-1 record heading into sectional play, he averages 21.8 points per game and his shooting numbers are off the charts. Delmore has connected on 66 of 135 three-point attempts this year fora 48.9% clip from behind the arc. On free throws, he is 111 of 121 for an incredible 91.7% mark.
Nate Dodge, East Troy -- Dodge teams with twin towers Brett and Alex Prahl to form one of the most dynamic inside-outside attacks in the state. Averaging 19.3 points per game this season, Dodge has the Trojans looking good heading into sectional action. He shoots over 78% from the free throw line and has 42 made three-point field goals this year.
Ethan Guske, Sheboygan North -- Guske is a solid all-around player and a capable scorer, but really excels from long-range. In just 16 conference games this year, he made 46 of 127 three-point attempts. He also shot 75% from the free throw line. Overall, he averaged 22.7 points per game on the season.
Matt Thomas, Onalaska -- Thomas will go down as one of the greatest shooters in state history, with few people able to match his ability to put the ball in the basket from long-range. Averaging 28.2 points per game this year, he will attempt to lead the Hilltoppers to a second straight Division 2 state title. In last year's championship game he was 4 of 7 from deep and 8 of 9 from the free throw line on his way to 30 points. He poured in 50 points in less than three quarters of action in a win over Tomah earlier this year.
Tim Wagner, Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau -- Tim is a prolific scorer for his father and coach Mark Wagner. He was a big part of last year's team that made it to the state finals in Division 3, scoring 28 points in the two games. This season he averages 23.2 points per game for the Red Hawks, scoring a career-high 41 points in a win over Blair-Taylor early in the year.
