Final Team Rankings

Now that the season has come to an end its time for my final team rankings. With seeing so many teams in a short period of time I'm probably not going to give each time the appropriate amount of thought but, I'll try to do my best. Once again I will be ranking teams on what I saw not on how they did throughout the entire year. So a team may defeat a team but, if I didn't seem that game I will probably not take that game into my consideration of the rankings.

Rankings
1. Wauwatosa East (3)- Well they won the D1 championship. Tosa has seven players that can go off for 15 plus points in any given game. Are a well balanced team that shoots three incredibly well and can score on the inside as well.
2. Madison Memorial (7)- Have Jeronne Maymon who in my opinion is the best player in the state. Are a extremely athletic team that plays a very tough trapping defense that leads to easy fast break baskets.
3. Minnetonka MN (1)- Team full of players in the 6'5-6'7 height range. Shoot the three very well and play some very good defense.
4. Oshkosh West (2)- An extremely tall team that starts two 6'8 guys and a 6'6 player, teammed with two very good guards. Very disciplined team on the offensive side and play great defense.
5. Germantown (1)- Another tall team, that has arguably the best post player in the state in Ben Averkamp. They have one of the best point guards in the state in Rick Bowers and a very good third scoring option in three point sharp shooter Nick Doedens.
6. Waupun (1)- Yes they didn't make state but, they have the best shooting combo in the state in Ryan Rasmussen and Aris Wurtz. Austin Armga is a very good third option that can get his points in a hurry.
7. Janesville Craig (2)- Tall team that can play the slow paced game or can play an uptempo game. Have a shooter and star in Lucas Burns, have a post presence in Jojo Pregont, and have a solid point guard in Cooper Cullen.
8. Waunakee (1)- Very tall team overall, have very good balance, and lots of depth. Disciplined that plays great defense and doesn't lose a thing when they bring their bench players in.
9. Lacrosse Aquinas (4)- Very disciplined team that likes to play an uptempo game. Their top six players are all very capable scorers. They rebound very very well and play some good defense.
10. Madison Lafollette (3)- Cashton Craig and DJ Fuller are both legit bigtime stars and they have found some inside presence on the defensive end. Play good defense as a team and rebound well as a team.
11. Laconia (1)- Kieran Weed is an absolute stud, that can jump out of the gym. Their starting five is as good as anyones in the state. Weed is the star but, Derek Semenas is a very good #2 option.
12. Brookfield Central (2)- Disciplined team that plays good defense and rebounds very well as a team. Cory Degner is a star that will put the team as his back and carry them.
13. Verona (1)- Another discipline team, that really looks to get the ball inside to their star Jason Ziemer. Led by Ziemer they are a very good rebounding team and play very good defense.
14. Eleva Strum (2)- An extremely physically strong team. They rebound the ball very well and play a very tough defense. They have two stars in Lance Rongstad and Jordan Peterson.
15. New Berlin Eisenhower (2)- Have a big time post player in Mike Hojnacki and shoot the ball very very well from the outside.
