A quartet of players lead the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Division 1 boys basketball All-State Team as repeat selections: John Kinziger of De Pere, Jackson Paveletzke of Kimberly, Seth Trimble of Menomonee Falls, and Mac Wrecke of Arrowhead.

Kinziger led De Pere to an outright conference title in the FRCC, 25-3 overall record, and appearance in the sectional finals. The 6’0” junior has already scored more than 1500 points in his career, averaging 21 per game this season to go with 4.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He shot 52% from the field, 46% from three, and 86% from the free throw line.

Paveletzke was third in the state in scoring this season, leading Division 1 with 30 points per game. That included three games of at least 45 points, including a career-high 50 against De Pere. A very efficient scorer, he shot 58% overall, 81% from the free throw line, and 45% from deep.

Trimble was recently announced as the 2022 Mr. Basketball by the WBCA after guiding the Phoenix to a Greater Metro Conference title and appearance in the school’s first-ever appearance in the state tournament. The 6’3” senior went over 2000 points for his career, averaging 26.2 per game as a senior to go with 7.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per contest.

Wrecke is a three-year varsity standout for Arrowhead, averaging more than 20 points per game each of the last two seasons. As a repeat All-State pick, he averaged 20.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game in his senior campaign.

Leon Bond was part of Wauwatosa East’s state title team last season and was asked to take on more of the scoring load as a senior. He increased his output from 11 points per game as a junior to 21 as a senior, as the 6’6” Virginia recruit added 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game as well.

Demarion Burch of Milwaukee Hamilton was the fourth leading scorer in the state this year and second in Division 1 with 29.7 points per game. The 6’3” junior guard added 7.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per contest for the Wildcats.

Steven Clay of Menomonee Falls joined teammate Seth Trimble as WBCA All-State picks and one of the most dynamic duos in the state. The 6’5” wing player averaged 19.3 points per game in his senior season, finishing his career with more than 1600 points as the team made the state tournament and won a conference championship.

Tyran Cook helped Waukesha South to a surprising outright league title in the Classic Eight Conference, as the Blackshirts finished 22-6 overall. The conference Player of the Year, Cook averaged 22.5 points and 7.8 rebounds to lead the team.

Chevalier Emery was the leading scorer this season as Neenah won its first state championship in more than 40 years. The lightning quick point guard averaged 18.3 points per game, showing considerable improvement in all facets. An 83% free throw shooter, he also led the Rockets with four steals per contest. 

Max Nelson of Appleton North was one of the most productive big men in the state this season, averaging 23.7 points and 11.6 rebounds per game. It marked the second straight year he averaged at least 20 and 10 for the Lightning. The Valparaiso recruit was excellent from outside, making 73 three-pointers this season.

Andrew Rohde of Brookfield Central was one of the most improved players in the state this season, and was the driving factor in the Lancers making the Division 1 state title game. He averaged 28.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game this year, scoring a new state tournament record 55 combined points in two games at the Kohl Center.
