Taylor Wurtz (2009 prospect)

Here's a profile on Taylor Wurtz, a junior guard at Ripon high school. She was named Athlete of the Week by WBAY-TV in Green Bay. Wurtz is being recruited by Michigan for the 2009 class:

Taylor is rewriting the Ripon record books. She became the all-time leading scorer just ten games into her junior year.

She was already the steals and assists leader as a sophomore.

"I like to get the ball up and down the court, and I like to have fun," Taylor says, "and I've had great teammates -- that helps."

"It was more shocking when I looked at the records initially and noticed she was close after her freshman year. We knew she'd have a shot at the scoring record if she stayed healthy," Ripon head coach Bill Peters said.

A six-foot guard with NBA range who can do it all, Taylor is averaging 20 points, eight boards, four assists, and four steals per game -- making her one of the highly-recruited juniors in the state.
