Below is a list of players in the class of 2024 who had impressive performances during the week of January 18th- January 22nd.
Chloey Bynum | Green Bay Southwest | 5’8 G
The guard has become an essential role player this season and has done everything her team has needed her to. She moves with the ball well and can handle high pressure defense. She’s patient but very competitive on the floor. She has an effortless way of scoring the basketball that could very well make her an offensive spark plug for this team. In a huge win over Manitowoc Lincoln, the freshman scored 9 points for her team.
Alayna Feidt | Fox Valley Lutheran | 6’0 F
The forward has a high ceiling for being a dominant post player in the North Eastern conference. She’s strong and athletic with well developed footwork inside the lane. She uses her size well and is able to be a force on the glass. She continues to improve her shot blocking ability and is a player to watch in that category. She works nicely with her team’s guard and capitalizes off their missed buckets. In a close game against Wrightstown, Feidt dropped 9 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
Alana Durtschi | Albany | 5’7 G
Durtschi is a high energy guard who can score the ball in so many ways. She’s energetic and crafty on the floor. She can attack the rim well and finishes strong against contact. She’s a defensive threat as well- playing with a lot of maturity at such a young age. A playmaking guard for sure, the Albany freshman is a player who will help this team big time in the years to come. In a huge win over Johnson creek, Durtschi scored 10 points for her team.
Teagan Mallegni Teagan Mallegni 6'1" | SF McFarland | 2024 State WI | McFarland | 5’11 F
Mallegni is a phenomenal athlete with so much upside for the future. She is a lengthy and fluid athlete with the perfect skill set for a modern day post player. She can play and defend any position on the floor. She’s quick on the perimeter and she’s slippery near the rim. She has a quick first step and ability to back her playing into the post or put her head down and attack the rim. She possesses a soft touch around the rim and a smooth release to her jumper. In a close win over Turner, Mallegni scored 27 points.
Carly Drew Carly Drew 5'8" | CG Westfield | 2024 State WI | Westfield | 5’9 G
Drew is an outstanding competitor with the ability to put crazy numbers on the board. She’s a three level scorer who is crafty and strong when attacking the rim. She’s so confident on the floor already and has an extremely high basketball IQ. Her feel for the game shines through by her ability to play make for herself and her teammates. Drew does not shy away from contact in the lane and is a rebounding specialist for this team. In a win over Ripon, the freshman led her team with 32 points and 11 rebounds.
Khloe Zentkowski | Superior | 6’0 G
The freshman is helping lead Superior to some major victories this season. She led her team in scoring to a 50-45 victory over Rice Lake. She finished with 15 points and hit two huge three pointers in the win. Zentowski can handle the ball more than proficient for her size; teams have a hard time finding a good matchup for her. Her shot blocking ability is next level, but even if she doesn’t physically block the shot, she can still affect shots by getting into the heads of opponents. They know she’s there, so she doesn’t have to block the ball every time to be an intimidation factor.
