Every year there is a debate about the best teams in the state, and here in Louisiana, we have the distinction of Select vs Non-Select. Before the season starts, I think we should start the conversation about the Top Teams in the State in each Division regardless of their classification.

[player_tooltip player_id='2132763' first='Mason' last='Newman'] had a big summer and has evolved his game as well, and to top it off, Senior [player_tooltip player_id='1543667' first='Cambren' last='Price'] looked like he will be a big-time difference maker as he could be the x factor in big games, adding to his skill set over the summer as well.

[player_tooltip player_id='1543704' first='Kenny' last='Brown'] was a name to know around the state as he caught the attention of several coaches and scouts around the state. They have also added some notable transfers, including 6'8 [player_tooltip player_id='2906290' first='Aguar' last='Maper'] and he adds another element of size and potential which could make them even more dangerous. &nbsp;End to end they have size, skill, athleticism and time on the court together. There is also a young core of talent that could earn minutes during the season and further frustrate competition. Just remember these names and keep an eye out for emerging talent on this roster. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3A/ Division III </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bossier City has a slogan “Nothing Bigger Than the B” and this year it looks like they will be the team to beat.
