Division Four Preseason Rankings

Ever since the state went to five divisions, division four has been the toughest for me to predict, there are alot of unknowns. Many of the teams in D4 would never of been seen in years past because of the bigger D3 schools they were going against, so many of these teams are unknowns. The only thing I can say for sure and I think everyone can say for sure is that Whitefish Bay Dominican is the #1 ranked team in everyones eyes. I'll admit on this one alot of my rankings come from the yearbook.

1. Dominican- Easily the cream of the crop here as their led by a pair of D1 recruits in a pair of 6'2 guards in senior Jamall Taylor and jr Duane Wilson Jr.. If 6'9 freshmen Diamond Stone lives up to half the hype Dominican should run away with the division.
2. Aburndale- 20 win team a year ago bring back four of their starters including 6'4 junior Austin Hawkins who averaged 15 points a game a year ago.
3. Cuba City- Have one of the best coaches in the state and have 6'5 senior Corey Vassen.
4. Oshkosh Lourdes- Have four starters back from an 18 win team and should be battled tested after going against the larger Oshkosh schools.
5. Laconia- Very strong tradition and they always seem to get to 20 wins.
6. Elk Mound- Return four starters from last years team.
7. Bonduel- Return a pair of double digit scorers in a pair of seniors in 6'6 Nathan Doell and 6'1 Jacob Thorne.
8. Three Lakes- Have 6'8 senior Ross Thorn who averaged a double double a year ago.
9. Fall Creek- Have been very good as of late and have a great coach.
10. Blair Taylor- Have a great coach and they have 6'7 senior Reggie Kujak.
11. Amherst- Don't know anything really but, there always a top ranked team.
12. Grantsburg- State runner ups a year ago always seem to be ranked high and make a strong run at state.
13. Marathon- They were defending state champs. Honestly that's all I have.
14. Destiny- Has been alot of talk about Destiny and I'm not sure if it's just talk or what. 6'4 sophomore transfer Jerrelle Deberry should have a huge year.
15. Eau Claire Regis- Lots of success in the past gives them the nod here.


There are my D4 preseason rankings and there was a lot of guessing and a lot of following the year book.
