Pewaukee senior Amy Terrian has been named the 2025 Ms. Basketball recipient by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), presented by Wisconsin Clothing Company.

Terrian will be one of the few players ever selected First Team All-State by the WBCA all four years of high school, earning the designation in Division 2 the last three seasons before the Pirates were elevated to D1 this year.

During her four years on varsity, Pewaukee had a record of 108-10 with four conference championships, four regional championships, three sectional championships, a pair of state runner-up finishes and the 2024 WIAA Division 2 state title, the first in program history.

Terrian burst onto the scene along with twin sister Anna as freshmen, helping the team to the state tournament while averaging 16.8 points per game. She'd go on to average 14.6, 18.4 and 14.4 points per game over the remainder of her career.

"Ultimately, Amy is a competitor," said Pewaukee head coach Jim Reuter. "She possesses a 'refuse-to-lose' attitude and mindset and leads others on her team to share that. Whatever is required by the team, she will do. She is a leader, she is articulate, and she makes others around her better. I'll never forget the lines at the Resch Center after our games at the Resch Center of little girls (and boys!) waiting to have their picture taken with Amy."

"When I learned that I was selected as Wisconsin Ms. Basketball, I was very shocked as there is so much talent in our state, especially within the five players that were nominated," said Terrian, upon being informed of the news of her selection. "I was overwhelmed with gratitude and thankfulness knowing that I was picked to join a list of remarkable basketball players and people. I am incredibly honored and humbled to receive this award and all the glory goes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Terrian holds school records for points, three-pointers, assists, rebounds, and steals. 

"During my time at Pewaukee, I am most proud of building a culture that will last a lifetime and a community that loves girls basketball that is second to none," Terrian added. "I also am so proud of all my teammates and coaches that I have had the blessing to work and play with throughout my career at Pewaukee. They have helped me become the player I am today, pushed this program to new heights, and made history. Lastly, I am very proud of impacting the next generation by allowing the little girls in Pewaukee to dream a little bigger and hopefully one day they will be holding up a Ms. Basketball award."

"When she came here, we were a very good program but during her time here, she worked to bring us up to one of the state's elite programs," added Reuter.

The finalists for Ms. Basketball were Terrian, JJ Barnes of The Prairie School, Makena Christian of Hartford, Kristina Ouimette of Lakeland, and Rainey Welson of Hortonville.
