A rematch of the schools involved in the 2015 WIAA Division 1 title game is the featured matchup of the 27 games scheduled for the 11th annual Wisconsin Basketball Yearbook Shootout, set for December 28-29-30 at Concordia University's Buuck Fieldhouse in Mequon.

Defending champion Stevens Point and defending runner-up Germantown are slated to meet at 7:30 p.m. on December 30 as both schools figure to be ranked among the top five teams in the state when preseason rankings are released for the 2015-16 season in November.

Stevens Point, which finished 27-1 under coach Scott Anderson last season, is led by a pair of NCAA Division I players in Marquette recruit Sam Hauser (6-6) and prolific scoring senior guard Trev Anderson (6-2).

Germantown, which lost its head coach, Steve Showalter, to NCAA Division II Lindenwood University near St. Louis earlier this week, also returns a very talented lineup, led by Northern Iowa point guard recruit Juwan McCloud (5-10). 

A total of 39 schools from throughout the state of Wisconsin will take part in the WBY Shootout, including defending state champions Stevens Point (Division 1) and Dominican (Division 4).

Terry Porter Classic features top City Conference teams


Terrance Lewis

Eight teams from the powerful Milwaukee City Conference will participate in the annual Terry Porter Classic, set for December 3-4-5 at Milwaukee South Division High School.

The marquee matchups of the event feature Milwaukee Riverside taking on Stevens Point at 4:45 p.m., Milwaukee King meeting up with Milwaukee Marquette at 6:30 p.m. and Dominican playing Brown Deer at 8:15 p.m. on December 5.

Stevens Point figures to be the preseason No. 1 team among WIAA Division 1 schools in Wisconsin while Riverside also appears to have a lineup worthy of top five consideration behind the return of talented 2017 prospects Terrance Lewis and George Dixon.

King won the City Conference title last winter, but lost to Marquette in a sectional semifinal game. Marquette then lost to West Allis Central in the sectional final.

Brown Deer is the two-time defending WIAA Division 3 state champion while Dominican has won the last four Division 4 state crowns.

The annual Midwest Players Classic, set for January 16, 2016 at the La Crosse Center, features six intriguing matchups that include championship-caliber teams from three different states. 

Schools from Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin will compete in the event at the La Crosse Center, including a pair of defending state champions in Stevens Point (Wisconsin, Division 1) and Rushford-Peterson (Minnesota, 1A).
