Division Four Preseason Rankings

For most people Division Four rankings begin and end with Whitefish Bay Dominican. Unfortunately I'm in that boat and will be the first to admit that outside of Dominican  don't really have much of a clue and will rely heavily on the High School basketball year book. So here are my rankings the best I can come up with anyway.

Division Four
1. Dominican- 6'3 senior Duane Wilson is one of the best players in the state and 6'9 sophomore Diamond Stone is one of the top sophomores in the country.

2. Pacelli- Yearbook has them number two and they bring back four starters and have a talent transfer in 6'2 sophomore James Gollon.

3. Aburndale- Always have a very strong team and a guy that does it all in 6'4 Austin Hawkins who seems like he's been on varsity forever.

4. Brookfield Academy- Have two players that nearly averaged 20 points a game in 5'11 senior Domonique Criss and 6'3 junior Sean Clarey.

5. Southwestern- Have three guys back that averaged double digit scoring a year ago.

6. Eau Claire Regis- Have a pair of 6'4 stars in senior Nick Stanke and sophomore Billy Wampler.

7. Colfax- State team a year ago. Have three double digit scores and a star in 6'6 senior Lane Olson.

8. St Mary's Springs- Won 18 games a year ago and play in an ultra competitive conference.

9. Fall Creek- Mark Miller had them ranked fourth so that's good enough for me.

10. Cuba City- State runner up a year ago and have the all time winnest coach on their sideline. Senior point guard 5'10 Brandon Slaats is back and is coming off a successful football season.

11. Algoma- Return a pair of first team all conference performers in 6'1 junior Sam Koss and 6'6 senior Travis Kostichka.

12. Laconia- 6'4 senior Tyler Semenas is poised for a monster year after the extremely impressive summer season.

13. Marathon- Have a pair of 6'2 seniors back that were both all-conference players and have lots of experience in Vince Dinkel and Collin Seubert.

14. Shiocton- Bring back five players that averaged at least eights points, two of which were all conference performers.

15. Cameron- Have four starters back from a team that took second in their conference a year ago.

There are my rankings and I have to credit the yearbook with a lot of help with them.
