Gavin McGrath, Onalaska boys basketball: Gavin helped the undefeated Hilltoppers secure a pair of impressive victories this past week. In a 68-40 win over La Crescent, Gavin shot six of nine from the field, scoring 15 points while adding a pair of blocks. Onalaska then matched up with fellow undefeated DeForest on Saturday. He had 14 points and 12 rebounds. Gavin was also a force defensively, blocking six shots of DeForest.

Brandon Wilde, Palmyra-Eagle boys basketball: Brandon doesn't stuff the stat sheet with high scoring numbers game in and game out. He does however epitomize the concept of a floor general. In a 59-37 win over Parkview, Brandon had 16 assists and five steals from the point guard position. He then added 17 assists in a 63-41 win over Abundant Life/St. Ambrose. Despite only two combined points in the two victories, Brandon controlled the flow of the offense throughout. His willingness to make the extra pass allowed his teammates ample scoring opportunities.
