Arike Ogunbowale of Divine Savior Holy Angels and Madison Wolf of Sheboygan North headline the 2015 WBCA Division 1 All-State Team as unanimous selections. It marks the fourth All-State selection for Ogunbowale, while Bre Cera of Mukwonago, Shakeela Fowler of Milwaukee King, and Taylor Hodell of D.C. Everest are repeat choices from last season.

Ogunbowale will go down as one of the best players to ever come from Wisconsin, ranked in the top ten by most major recruiting services. The 5-9 senior Notre Dame commit has DSHA at the D1 State Tournament after averaging 26.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.5 steals per game for the Dashers.

Wolf, a 6-3 senior forward, led Sheboygan North to an FRCC title and 20-3 overall record. Committed to Green Bay, the dominating post presence averaged 17 points per game for the Golden Raiders.

Cera helped the Indians to the State Tournament her first two years though Mukwonago came up just short this season. The versatile 5-11 junior guard averaged 16.8 points per game and is committed to Iowa.

Fowler has been a four-year varsity standout for head coach Craig Machut, helping the Generals to a share of the Milwaukee City-Gold title this year. The 5-3 senior guard averaged a team-best 14.8 points per game to go with 4.9 assists and 2.9 steals per contest.

Hodell is the key player on a D.C. Everest team that is 26-0 heading into the Division 1 State Tournament. The imposing 6-4 senior forward averages 18.5 points, 9 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game for the Evergreens.

Taylor Higginbotham of Germantown helped the Warhawks claim an outright North Shore title as a senior. In the fast-paced offense, the 5-10 senior guard averaged 18.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, connecting on 60 three-pointers.

Alison Hughes keyed Janesville Craig's ascension to the top of the Big Eight standings, as they shared the league title with Verona and finished 22-4 after a run to the Sectional Finals. Hughes averaged a team-best 17.6 points per game, shooting 85.3% from the free throw line.

Ally May of Arrowhead has helped the Warhawks back to the State Tournament for the second time in the last three years, as the team shared the Classic Eight title this season. The 6-2 senior Northern Illinois commit averages 12.5 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Dani Rhodes of Waukesha West was part of a resurgence of the Wolverines program, helping the team claim a share of the Classic Eight title and 22-3 overall record. The 5-5 junior guard averaged better than 19 points per game.

Jasmin Samz of Wausau West had an outstanding senior season, averaging 25.4 points per game for the Warriors. The 5-10 point guard will play collegiately at Saint Louis.
