<p>We are about to approach the beginning of the 2019-2020 HS season. </p>
<p>I like to take a look at my annual "Top-5's". </p>
<p>It's just a fun way to take a look at players' elite skills in different categories. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We start with shooting. Which seniors will have the top shooting seasons in the AIA?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here are my Top-5:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Brycen Long (Gilbert)-</strong>-Did it in big moments last year to prove that he is one of the better shooters. Committed to <strong>Houston Baptist. </strong></p>

<p>2. <strong>Dominic Gonzalez (Ironwood)</strong>--Another that is highly thought of as the top shooter in the AIA. He should open up many coaches eyes this year. </p>
<p>3.<strong> Jackson Risi (Valley Christian)</strong>-- Arguably the quickest shooting release in the state. Gets hot in a blink of an eye and will look to help the Trojans repeat as 3A champions. </p>

<p>4. <strong>Xzavier Lino (Sunnyslope)</strong>--One of the best, if not the best, corner 3pt shooter in the state. (Pictured) </p>
<p>5. <strong>Anthony Irivin (Corona del Sol)</strong>--Made a name for himself this summer with some monster shooting games including a half court shot to beat Belmont Shore at the buzzer. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My next-5:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Evan Nelson (Salpointe Catholic)</strong>--He is a good shooter but also creates more shots for himself then anyone on the list. He is both a scorer and a shooter. Committed to <strong>Harvard. </strong> </p>
<p>4. <strong>Tay Boothman (Buckeye)</strong>--Another creator but also a very good shooter. Had a huge game in the Section-7 this summer with over 40 points. </p>
<p>3. <strong>Caleb Alonso (Desert Ridge</strong>)--The lone lefty on the list has great size and can shoot it consistently. </p>
<p>4. <strong>Isaac Monroe (Peoria)</strong>--A quick shooter likes big moments and can shoot it off the dribble. </p>
<p>5. <strong>JD Feagles (Horizon</strong>)--Deep shooter may avg near 20 ppg with his top-tier shooting for the Huskies. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 way under the radar:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Cameron Snyder (Tempe</strong>)-Catch shooter can light it up. He also plays a nice lead guard role as well. </p>
<p>2. <strong>Christian Valle (Hamilton)</strong>--Not well known but Valle has a clip! Almost all off the catch and has a smooth jumper. </p>
<p>3. <strong>Robby Devries (Millennium</strong>)--A bigger guard can really shoot it. The Texas transfer should be a nice piece next to Holmes and Jackson. </p>
<p>4. <strong>Anthony Giliberto (Paradise Valley)</strong>--The lone big forward on the list is arguably the top shooting forward. </p>
<p>5. <strong>Tyrese Rogers (Boulder Creek)</strong>--Another good shooter could also score near 20 ppg this year. </p>
