#1 Millennium
Millennium has to be the favorites heading into the season. They are bringing back virtually everybody from last year and have added two solid transfers that will surely help! Holmes and Jackson seem to be only getting better as well!
#2 Ironwood
Ironwood was this close to beating Millennium last season, losing by 1 point. They bring back all of their key players and have two big time transfers that will help bridge that gap between them and Millennium. Ironwood is definitely a team to watch this year.
#3 Sunnyslope
Slope is really solid and they added more size to their already big line up, with Elijah Saunders. They only thing I’m worried about with them is their guard play and ability to match the speed of teams like Millennium and Ironwood. If they show that they can match their speed or control the tempo of the game, they will move up.
#4 Gilbert
I fully intend Gilbert to be right back in contention this year. Caserio is an amazing coach and he’s bringing back some key contributors to last year’s state title team. I would not be shocked to see them back in the final 4.
#5 Sunrise Mountain
I really think Sunrise Mountain will shock some people this year. They have a lot of solid players and are bringing back majority of their team from last season. They might not have a great record come region play since they have Ironwood, Sunnyslope, and Centennial, in the same region but come playoff time, they’ll be a problem.
