Continue ReadingI’ve never seen a Prescott High School class as loaded as 2025. Last year they made it to the 4A State Quarterfinals and they will no doubt be contenders for the State title next year and the following year as well. They might even make some noise in the newly formed Arizona Open division. Local rival Bradshaw Mountain does not have the firepower of Prescott, but they have a couple of 2025s who will definitely make an impact in the Grand Canyon Region. These are the fab 5 of the class of 2025 in Yavapai County.
Uriah Tenette Uriah Tenette 5'10" | PG Prescott | 2025 State AZ is the leader of the Prescott High Badgers. He is an elite Point Guard with deft handles, an old school pull-up game, and can shoot the three with deadly accuracy. He is fearless off the bounce, converting circus lay-ups and dunks. He can draw fouls like Dwayne Wade and shoots a very high percentage from the free-throw line. He also leads the team in steals. He is easily the best Point Guard this area has seen in decades. Uriah Tenette Uriah Tenette 5'10" | PG Prescott | 2025 State AZ is an exceptional overall athlete who also excels on the football field and he plays basketball with a football mentality.
Zane Gaul Zane Gaul 6'10" | C Prescott | 2025 State AZ has a tremendous upside. At 6’10 the sky is the limit. He already is a cerebral player and a masterful passer from the high post. He has a really sweet shot for a big-man and with a little more strength and confidence Zane will dominate the post. At times it seems Zane does not realize how good he can really be. Once he realizes that he has a Division 1 body and Division 1 mind, he will be close to unstoppable. He will no doubt gain valuable experience this spring playing alongside Uriah Tenette Uriah Tenette 5'10" | PG Prescott | 2025 State AZ with the Factory team.
Danian Bernardo Danian Bernardo 5'11" | PG Prescott | 2025 State AZ will prove a valuable asset to the Prescott High team. Like his running mate Zane Gaul Zane Gaul 6'10" | C Prescott | 2025 State AZ , he is a very intelligent basketball player with good court vision. He can play Point Guard which will allow Uriah Tenette Uriah Tenette 5'10" | PG Prescott | 2025 State AZ to play off-ball more. Danian is a capable passer and defender and can score the ball off the bounce with a deadly spin move. He is also developing into a legitimate threat from 3. Although he did not get much playing time last season mainly due to AIA transfer rules, Danian Bernardo Danian Bernardo 5'11" | PG Prescott | 2025 State AZ will no doubt prove his worth the next two seasons.
Jaden Blasczyk is a true diamond in the rough. The son of a former All-American volleyball player at the University of Arizona, Jaden has such tremendous potential. Jaden has an intuitive ability to rebound and play great help defense and has a very good shot for a big man. He will grow into his 6’9 frame in the next 12-18 months and with the increased strength and size Jaden will be a formidable force in the post for Bradshaw Mountain. The battles with Zane Gaul Zane Gaul 6'10" | C Prescott | 2025 State AZ next year and the following year will no doubt be epic.
Preston Ranniker Preston Ranniker 6'2" | SG Bradshaw Mountain | 2025 State AZ will have a break-out season next year for Bradshaw Mountain. Preston has all the tools to dominate on the offensive end. He can catch and shoot from 3; he can play as a slasher on the wing, scoring easily with either hand; and he has a very good floater/runner game. His athleticism is developing as well. Look for him to throw down some epic dunks next year. Preston will have to carry a large offensive load next season for Bradshaw Mountain and all indications are he is up for the challenge.
