Tyler Zastrow of Sheboygan Lutheran and Dakota Zinser of Green Bay NEW Lutheran lead the way as unanimous selections to the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Division 5 All-State Team.

Zastrow is a three-year varsity standout for the Crusaders, playing a key role in the team's 2012 state championship and helping Sheboygan Lutheran back to state this year. He averages 20.2 points per game while shooting 35.8% from the three point line and 82.4% from the free throw stripe during his senior season.

Zinser has NEW Lutheran back at state for the second straight season, and has taken over a much larger role this year. The Packerland Conference Player of the Year, Zinser is a 6-3 senior guard that poured in 19.4 points per game to go with 4.6 rebounds and better than 2 assists and steals per game.

Tyler DeYoung, a 6-4 junior, helped Central Wisconsin Christian to a second place finish in the highly competitive Trailways-North Conference, averaging a team-best 15.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. A formidable interior threat, he also connected on 35.8% of his three-point attempts.

Albert Goerlitz helped Owen-Withee to a share of the Cloverbelt-East title as a senior. The 6-1 guard was among the top scorers in the division, averaging 21.6 points per game for the Hawks while adding 11.5 rebounds per contest.

Tiwon Jones was a force all season for Young Coggs Prep, who finished 16-7 against a challenging independent schedule. Jones, a 6-1 junior guard, averaged 22.6 points per game for head coach Tim Richert.

Jacob Jurss is just a junior, but he's no stranger to the big stage. He hit numerous big shots as Sheboygan Lutheran captured the 2012 Division 5 title, and is a big reason the Crusaders are back at state this year. The 6-0 guard averages 16.7 points per game and has made 88 three-pointers this season.

Ty Kartman was off to a great start to his season in 2012-13 but saw it end early to injury. He came back with a vengeance as a senior, averaging 22.4 points per game as the Comets went unbeaten in the regular season before falling to Barneveld in a sectional semi-final.

Juafonyay Lyte was an honorable mention All-State choice last year, and upped it to First Team recognition as a senior. The 6-5 wing used his frame, athletic ability, and skills to post 20.5 points and 13 rebounds per game as Milwaukee Academy of Science went 20-4.

Albi Maksuti is the leading scorer on the very balanced Thorp Cardinals team, averaging 14.7 points per game. The 6-2 senior guard was a First Team All-Conference choice in the Cloverbelt-West, also leading the team in rebounds and assists while playing stellar defense.

Nick Ptaschinski posted eye-popping numbers for Wayland Academy this season, averaging 22.3 points while connecting on 96 three-pointers. The 6-3 senior guard also shot an impressive 81.5% from the free throw line.. 

Nathan Toenjes, a 6-7 senior, is a key part of back-to-back state tournament teams for Green Bay NEW Lutheran. He was a Unanimous First Team All-Conference choice in the Packerland after averaging 13.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.
