Conor Cruz, Howards Grove (2025) Cruz plays with a high motor that aided his 11.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game stat line last year. At 6-3, he's undersized as a forward, but his athleticism and work ethic give him more scoring opportunities.
Brody Feldmann, Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah (2025) Feldmann was a unanimous first-team all-conference performer last season after averaging 19.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. The 6-3 guard does most of his damage inside the perimeter as he's taken just 38 three-point shots in three seasons.
Preston Fields, Saint Mary Catholic (2025) Fields does a little bit of everything for SMC as he averaged 10.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.6 steals per game as a junior. At 6-1 he rebounds above his height. Fields IQ sets him apart from his peers as he he a good decision maker on the court.
Trent Grunewald, Howards Grove (2025) Grunewald was a unanimous first team all-conference selection and Player of the Year after he averaged 19.1 points, 9 rebounds, and 3.4 assists last year. He can score from anywhere in the half court and poses a matchup problem for both undersized wings and oversized bigs.
Wesley Hecker, Manitowoc Lutheran (2026) Hecker serves as the lead guard for Manitowoc and runs a great break. At 5-10 he's a tad undersized, but he dished out 5.1 assists per game to go along with his 8.6 points. He shot over 40% from three last season and earned second team all-conference honors.
Brody Hein, Hilbert (2026) Hein was an honorable mention all-conference selection as a sophomore after averaging 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. He is the top returning scorer for Hilbert and can be expected to grow into a larger scoring role.
Derek Laabs, Manitowoc Lutheran (2025) Laabs and teammate Wesley Hecker form a fiery duo in the Lancers backcourt. Laabs averaged 13.3 points and 2.8 assists last season as he earned second team all-conference honors. The shooting guard does most of his damage in the lane where his shooting percentage is much higher than outside the arc.
Ben Prochnow, Reedsville (2026) Prochnow was a unanimous first team all-Big East North selection last season after averaging 18.7 points, 4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game. A coach's son, Prochnow has a great feel for the game and effects it in many different ways, with and without the ball in his hands.
Arden Strenn, Reedsville (2026) Strenn forms a great junior backcourt with teammate Prochnow. He averaged 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. The 6-1 guard plays well off of Prochnow and is aggressive on the defensive end, turning steals into points.
Ashton Thuecks, Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah (2026) Thuecks was a second team all-Big East North sleection as a sophomore last season after he averaged 15.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. The lengthy 6-6 forward uses that length to cause problems on the defensive end, averaging over a steal and block per game.

Outlook: Saint Mary Catholic does lose the top two scorers from last season in Braeden Brenn and Fisher MacKenzie.

Guard play and pace of play will be an advantage for Coach Bradshaw's squad as the loss of their top two rebounders will leave them struggling with size.

First year head coach Connor Kuhn will need to find more scoring from that group in order to stay competitive in games.
