MILWAUKEE, Wis. – A trio of high school standouts have signed their National Letters of Intent and are set to join the Milwaukee women's basketball team for the 2021-22 school year.
Head Coach
Kyle Rechlicz announced the addition of Justina Hernandez, Anna Lutz, and Hallie Majoros. "We are thrilled with the signing of our three newest Panthers. They fill in pieces of the puzzle that we are missing, and they will be a highly competitive group in the next few years," Rechlicz stated. "They are skilled, athletic, and come from great families who have taught them character first. They are going to fit in with our team culture and we can't wait to help them all reach their potential both on and off the court."
Hernandez joins the Panthers having helped her team win the regional title three consecutive years. The 5-10 guard averaged 15.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists as a junior and has scored over 1,000 points in just three seasons.
"Justina is an athletic scoring guard with a very high ceiling," Rechlicz said. "She has the ability to score off the dribble and from behind the arc. She has worked incredibly hard to be in this position and we know that will continue when she steps on campus here at Milwaukee."
Lutz, a two-time Division 3 State Champion, brings a list of accomplishments to Milwaukee including two-time Capital South Conference Player of the Year, two-time Wisconsin State Journal All-Area First Team, two-time AP All-State Third Team, and more. Lutz closed her junior year at Marshall High School with 1,479 career points after averaging 23 points and 9.4 rebounds per game in 2019-20.
"Anna is a skilled post player who knows how to win. She has an incredibly high basketball IQ which fits our system well," Rechlicz commented. "We have had a lot of success with players in her position with her skill set. We know that she will help us win many championships in the future."
Coming to Milwaukee from Nordonia High School in Ohio, Majoros was named Suburban League All-Conference back-to-back years. The 5-9 guard also has a pair of Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association All-Northeast Inland District honors to her name.
"Hallie is a knock down shooter with one of the quickest releases in the 2021 class," Rechlicz mentioned. "She has a passion for the game and is always striving for improvement. We are excited to have someone in our program with her skill set as it will open up the lane for our many drivers."
