There still may be a glimmer of hope the season actually still goes on with a possible re-vote by the AIA committee or having it as an AAU season or the ABCA will just run it like they ran the Section-7 or Border League.
We look at more PG’s in 5A.
Here are some sleeper PG’s that will impact their team:
Brandon Austin Brandon Austin 6'0" | PG Arcadia | 2022 State AZ (Arcadia)

Cody Blumenthal Cody Blumenthal 5'10" | PG Catalina Foothills | 2021 State AZ (Catalina Foothills)
-Another pure PG sets the table for his scorers. He runs the offense and plays with a high IQ. He can shoot it and can get into the paint with the use of hesitations. You will usually see him making the right decision off of pick and rolls.
Drey Sherwood Drey Sherwood 5'9" | CG Casteel | 2021 State AZ (Casteel)
-A cerebral combo guard is undersized but he plays a big game. He can fill it up from deep with a quick trigger and plays really hard. He can handle some of he PG duties and play off the ball.
Eli Johnson Eli Johnson 5'10" | CG Gilbert | 2022 State AZ (Gilbert)
-The fast guard is a pure PG who has improved every season. His jumper has steadily got better and he can use his burst to get into the lane and score it. He will help relieve some ball handling pressure off of Tampa Scott Tampa Scott 5'10" | PG Gilbert | 2021 State AZ .
Rafe Canale Rafe Canale 6'0" | PG Sunrise Mountain | 2022 State AZ (Sunrise Mountain)

Gray Ndagijimana Gray Ndagijimana 6'0" | PG Agua Fria | 2023 AZ (Agua Fria)
-A scoring ball handler who loves touching the paint with his tighter handle and length. He can make plays but will try to take the ball to the rim.
Chuck Bailey Chuck Bailey 6'4" | CG Donda Academy | 2023 CA-S (Higley) (Pictured)
-A long, taller and stronger guard likes shooting it off the dribble from the perimeter. He can get you on his hip and get into the lane and score. He has good length to defend and the sophomore may be the team leader in points already.
Isaiah Bronson Isaiah Bronson 6'2" | PG Phhoenix Prep | 2024 State AZ (Williams Field)
-A quick jitterbug PG is fast in the open court. He can score from mid to the 3pt line plus get inside and drive and kick it out to an open shooter.
