Third Round my Team Rankings

Figured I have seen six new teams from my last rankings so, I should probably update my rankings a bit. I have decided to not break teams down by division but, just rank all the teams in one lump sum since most people can figure out the division rankings from there.


1. Linn-Marr Iowa (1)- Easily the best team I have seen play. Lightning quick point guard that can take over the game without having to take a shot with his defense and play making and have a big man that can score inside or out with ease.
2. Madison Memorial (4)- Getting some of their top tear talent back and have the best eight man rotation in the state. Lots of athletic freaks between 6'4 to 6'6. Junior Lomomba can take the game over at any time and he has lots of help.
3. Milwaukee King (1)- Very athletic team that loves to run but, they are always playing under control. Have a very solid top nine rotation with lots of guards and will have a premier inside man in Cimmeon Bowers come playoff time. Lots of guys that can shoot and handle the ball.
4. Sun Prairie (3)- Have four players that could score 20 plus points on any given night. As Nick Fuller gets stronger and better game to game this team will rise with him. Have the size to battle with Memorial.
5. Southeast Springfield (1)- Just a very solid overall team. Run their offense very efficiently and can shoot the three as well as any team I've seen.
6. Lacrosse Aquinas (1)- Really like this team as the play very under control and don't seem to get flustered. Have lots of guys between 6'2 to 6'5 that can move well. Can play slow tempo or fast and do very well in either setting.
7. Germantown (1)- Have a star in Showalter that really makes them go but, have the size and outside shooting to really complement him.
8. St. Paul Johnson (1)- Another team with lots of athletes that loves to push the tempo. Have four different players that have the ability to score at will from the outside or driving to the hoop.
9. Lamphier Springfield (1)- Really like to push the tempo. Apply in your face pressure defense the entire game and will turn you over.
10. Marshfield (1)- Probably overall the tallest team in the state and their 1-3-1 defense is nearly impossible to score against. Run a very slow patient offense and really take good shots.
11. Onalaska (1)- Shoot the outside shot very very well and love to push the tempo. Play a pretty solid man to man defense.
12. Waunakee (1)- One of the better rebounding teams you will see. Have lots of depth and will press the whole game. Have two very good guards in Staege and Murray.
13. Wauwatosa East (1)- Another team with lots of depth that love to push the tempo. In transition they are very tough to stop.
14. Sacred Heart-Griffin Springfield (1)- Another team that really runs their offense well and loves to shoot the three ball where they usually make the shot. Rebound very well.
15. Springfield High (1)- Like to push the tempo and love to shoot the three point shot in their half court offense. Have a handful of guys that can penetrate and finish at the rim in a variety of ways.
16. Minneapolis South (1)- Love to push the tempo and shoot the long ball. Play a good pressure defense and can take the ball to the hoop strong.
17. Beloit (1)- Another athletic team that likes to push the tempo. Play to their opponents ability so if their playing a good team they look very good.
18. Monroe (2)- Move very well without the ball and another team that is very patient on the offensive end and only take good shots. Bryan Tordoff and Michael Barrett are stars that have both been on varsity forever.
19. Middleton (3)- Ian Joyce is really coming into his own and controls the inside and has a nice game around the hoop. Have a deep team but, not alot of stars.
20. Madison Edgewood (2)- Have one of the best coach's in the state and their team plays as hard as anyone in the state. Run their offense very well which always seems to give them an open shot. Go 12 deep and don't lose anything.
21. Randolph (1)- Typical Randolph team. Moves the ball well on offense and always get good shots and play very good man to man defense. Have a handful of very good players that can really score.
22. Baraboo (3)- Have some very good seniors and a pair of legit stars in Mark Kowalke and Sean McGann. Overall size is a concern though.
23. Madison East (2)- Nimrod Hillard is one of the best players in the state and the team plays really hard. Lack height though.
25. Racine Park (1)- Extremely quick and athletic team. Lack outside shooting though and ballhandlers.
26. Lacrosse Logan (1)- Trevor Jorgenson is as tough as any big man in the state and have some good outside shooters. Finding Jorgenson and handling pressure defense could be a problem though.
27. Monona Grove (1)- Need some more scorers but, Zach Zweifel can score 20 points a night. Could probably carry them a decent way in playoffs.
28. Whitefish Bay Dominican (1)- Lots of athletes but, not much size and not much outside shooting.
29. Green Lake (1)- So so team but, have a great talent in Matt Von Syoc.
30. West Depere (1)- Have nice size and rebound well but, another team without consistent guard play with the shooting and ball handling.
31. Milwaukee Bay View (1)- Honestly just the only other team that I have seen this year.

There are my team rankings not a lot of changes just a few new teams which I had just recently seen. This weekend will be seeing at least two more games possible three if I can get the chance.
