More than 175 players from across the state of Wisconsin traveled to Wisconsin Dells on Saturday to take part in the annual Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Prep Showcase at the Just A Game Fieldhouse.

Following are the award winners for the event, which attracted college coaches from throughout the state as well as some coaches from outside Wisconsin:

Most Valuable Player (Selected by camp coaches)

Nate Jenkins, 6-2, Jr., G, Kettle Moraine
Already a two-year varsity performer for coach Brad Bestor at Kettle Moraine, Jenkins has improved his physical strength and confidence over the past 12 months. He was the leader for Team 5, which won the championship at the Showcase. Jenkins missed a portion of last season with an injury, but did average 9.0 points as a starter for the Lasers. One of the better class of 2019 prospects in Wisconsin, Jenkins can play either guard position, but appears most comfortable directing a team from the point-guard spot.
