Cimarron-Memorial -</strong> Cimarron has a team that is full of competitors. They play hungry and have guys that have been playing together for a while now. Expect [player_tooltip player_id='1277105' first='Christian' last='Cardona'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1336295' first='Gerald' last='Patterson'] to lead the way night in and night out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Shadow Ridge - </strong>I like some of Shadow Ridge's pieces. When I watched them play in the varsity fall league and at their practice, you could tell that this has some chemistry going. [player_tooltip player_id='2635516' first='Jaden' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1974865' first='Ralu' last='Udom'] are two of the guys who play well off each other. At the moment, I predict that they'll finish second in the Sky Division. But they will definitely be fighting for that number one spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3.</strong> <strong>Legacy -</strong> There is a decent amount of youth on Legacy's squad this season. [player_tooltip player_id='2127131' first='Marlin' last='Miles'] (2028), [player_tooltip player_id='2450001' first='Walter' last='Townsend'] (2028), [player_tooltip player_id='2654786' first='Jordan' last='Troya'] (2028) and [player_tooltip player_id='2635490' first='Grayson' last='Williams'] (2027) are all on the roster. In addition to the young guns, they have [player_tooltip player_id='2611918' first='Ramon' last='Troya'] and D'Anthony Rabb. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>Chaparral -</strong> Chaparral will be captained by [player_tooltip player_id='1338783' first='Qualib' last='Ghallab'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1858255' first='Rayshawn' last='Armstead'] this year. The battle for third will be tough, but I predict that Legacy will snag it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5.</strong> <strong>Western -</strong> Western came in 5th place in the conference last season, and I predict that they will land in 5th again this year. There is a lot of talent on the top squads. They'll likely have to grind out some games with good defense to pick up some conference wins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6.</strong> <strong>Del Sol -</strong> Del Sol unfortunately lost every conference game last year. Hopefully they can rebound this season and pick up a few wins to compete for 4th or 5th in the Sky conference. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Projected All-Conference Teams</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>MVP -</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1336295' first='Gerald' last='Patterson'] - Cimarron</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1277105' first='Christian' last='Cardona'] - Cimarron</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2635516' first='Jaden' last='Williams'] - Shadow Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1974865' first='Ralu' last='Udom'] - Shadow Ridge </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>D'Anthony Rabb -Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1338783' first='Qualib' last='Ghallab'] - Chaparral </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1664088' first='Josiah' last='Arellano'] - Cimarron</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2334738' first='Daniel' last='Brown'] - Cimarron </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tysen Leland - Shadow Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2635490' first='Grayson' last='Williams'] - Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2611918' first='Ramon' last='Troya'] - Legacy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Best of the Best </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Best Shooter:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2635516' first='Jaden' last='Williams']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Best Rebounder:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1974865' first='Ralu' last='Udom']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Best Defender:</strong> D'Anthony Rabb </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Best College Prospect:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1336295' first='Gerald' last='Patterson']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Most Improved Player:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2640670' first='Da'kari' last='Gill'] </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
