Division Two Preseason

Of all the divisions in the state, division two is probably the most wide open. At this point in time there is no clear cut favorites. There is a lot of good players in the division but, they just don't seem to have enough around them to be considered a true favorite. Originally Adams Friendship was going to be my #1 team, being that the were the state runner ups last year and were returning their top two scores in Lance Fritz and Tommie Gaston. Now with Gaston no longer being at Adams they are no longer the favorites.

1. Monroe- Top back court in D2 with Tordoff brothers.
2. Wisconsin Lutheran- 6'4 Junior star Flavian Davis is looking to have a breakout season after a subpar year the previous season.
3.Northwestern- Tallest overall frontline in 6'4 junior Steve Tecker, 6'6 senior Aaron Corry, and 6'7 Junior Donnie Hissa, all double digit scorers last year.
4. Milwaukee Lutheran- Red Knights should be able to make some noise with the return of D1 recruit 6'5 junior Chim Kadima.
5. Waukesha Catholic Memorial- 6'4 junior TJ Bray is in his third year on varsity, while 5'11 guards junior Derek Schill and Jack Fleming form a solid backcourt.
6. Adams Friendship- May of lost their top player in Gaston but, return their leading scorer in Lance Fritz and their 1-3-1 defense.
7. Port Washington- Battle tested Pirates should go far led by 6'4 junior Josh Gasser.
8. Wisconsin Dells- 6'0 senior Jade Royston is a 20 point per game scorer and teams with 6'9 junior Nate Gibson.
9. Madison Edgewood- Always scrappy team should be able to play with anyone and have ultra talented 6'6 senior Derek Braucht.
10. Black River Falls- Led by leading scorer in the state 5'10 senior Jack Taylor.

The all state team was a little difficult because the players from smaller schools are not as well known as the guys from the big schools but, I believe that I did a pretty solid job. As you can see by the all state team there aren't a lot of top big men in division two as the majority of the guys that I put on the all state are guards. About 90% are guards.
