A quartet of former area high school basketball stars, including two from New Berlin West, will return to Milwaukee this weekend with the Edgewood College men's and women's teams.

Edgewood will be in town to take on Wisconsin Lutheran College in a doubleheader on Saturday, Jan. 10. The women's game will begin at 5 p.m. and the men's game will follow at about 7:15 p.m.

That means fans can once again see West graduates Ben Wisniewski and Ashley Averkamp as well as West Allis Central graduate Jeff Barczak and Franklin grad Jon Ciche.

Wisniewski, a freshman guard, was the Eagles' leading scorer coming into this week at 15.5 points per game. He had started all 11 Edgewood games and was shooting 44 percent from the field, including 48 percent from 3-point range. He also was averaging 2.9 rebounds and had 19 assists. He tallied 26 points in his second collegiate game and has hardly slowed since then.

West classmate Averkamp, a freshman center, was third among the women's scoring leaders with 7.5 points per game, shooting 48 percent from the floor and 93 percent at the line. She also had 32 rebounds (3.2), plus nine assists, eight blocked shots and six steals.

She had a breakthrough performance in a 72-59 loss to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point on Dec. 30, scoring 25 points on 11-of-18 shooting, including her only 3-point goal of the season. She also had two assists and three rebounds in that contest.

Barczak, a sophomore forward, has started all 11 games and was at 8.4 points (shooting 46 percent from the floor) and 3.7 boards per game. He had a high of 10 rebounds in a loss to Aurora University.

Ciche, a senior center, tallied 9.1 points per game while hitting 66 percent of his shots from the floor and led the Eagles in rebounds with 7.2 per contest.

The men's team came into this week at 4-7, while the women's squad stood at 5-5.
