The boys high school basketball season is over at Gresham, but the awards continue to mount for senior guard Christian Haffner.
Haffner, who was recently named Central Wisconsin Conference-10 Player of the Year, was a unanimous choice for the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association’s Division 5 all-state team.
Haffner averaged 26.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game for the Wildcats, who finished the season 21-4, including a 15-3 mark in the CWC-10, good for second place.
Haffner was one of three unanimous all-state selections. The others were Sheboygan Lutheran senior Jacob Jurss and Bangor senior Canon O’Heron.
Haffner also will compete in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association’s 3-Point Challenge as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the boys state basketball tournament Saturday.
The 3-point contest will be held at 9 a.m. at the Kohl Center in Madison.
Participants were selected on the basis of 3-point field goal shooting during the course of the season, with a minimum of 75 attempts. The top two shooters in each of the five divisions will compete.
Haffner led all Division 5 players with a .486 percentage (87 of 179).
Shawano’s Eric Carl was the fifth-most accurate 3-point shooter in Division 2 with a .466 percentage (54 of 116).
