Division Five Preseason Rankings

This might be the most interesting year of D5 that there has been with Randolph being a bit down. Randolph is still my pick to win state but, I have as many as six or seven teams with a chance to win state. Should be a fun year in D5 and here are my rankings...

1. Randolph- Defending state champs lost a lot but, have 6'4 junior Aaron Retzlaff and 6'8 senior Cody Reuter back. Also have a promising freshmen in 5'7 Duke Vander Galien.
2. Sheboygan Lutheran- Any time you have a player like 6'7 senior Sam Dekker you know your team can do some damage.
3. Racine Lutheran- Always seem to be right at the top and play a very very tough schedule.
4. Benton- 5'10 senior David Neis is in his fourth year on varsity and may be able to carry this team far.
5. Clayton- State runner ups a year ago bring back alot of talent from last years team.
6. Green Lake- 6'7 senior Matt Van Scyoc is just a step below Dekker.
7. Royal- This team has been to state before and return a handful of players that were on that team including 6'3 junior Sam Murphy.
8. Young Coggs Prep- Seem to have a ton of talent and play a lot of the city schools but, just can't put it all together come playoff time.
9. Green Bay NEW Lutheran- Another small school that benefits greatly from playing larger schools all year long.
10. Seneca- Play great great defense which allows them to play with anyone in the state.
11.Prentice- Looking at the yearbook and they were a top team all last year.
12. Marion- Honestly just following the year book here.
13. Siren- Have three double digit scorers back.
14. Hilbert- Great tradition and has been to state many times before.
15. Suring- Think they have one of the better coaches around and always seem to be good.

Well these are my preseason rankings. I have two games I will be attending the next two days and we will see if I will get the chance to post about the games. Will be seeing Randolph and Madison Memorial in the next two days.
