Notes: The Jaguars have something that not many teams can claim—a legitimate star player in 6’5” sophomore Timmy Allen. While Timmy had a solid freshman campaign expect for him to be a major player in the Mr. Basketball running this season. Other than Allen, no other major contributor will have much experience. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t talented. 6’2” Keith Holmes emerged as one of the top juniors in the state while playing on the travel circuit this past spring and summer. His activity and athleticism will help him to make a big impact for Desert Ridge on both ends. After a growth spurt 6’7” Billy Jordan has also become one of the state’s biggest sleepers. This trio gives the Jaguars a chance to have a very successful team for the next two seasons.
