Division Two Preseason

Yesterday was Division One and now today is Division Two. As always D2 may be the most wide open division with numerous teams that could possibly win the title.

1. Rice Lake- State runner ups a year ago. 6'10 senior Henry Ellenson is a top five player in the country and 5'11 senior point guard Ben Widdes is also back.

2. Wisconsin Lutheran- State champ a year ago and this is a team that always reloads and has a ton of depth and quickness. Will rely heavily on 6'4 senior Anthony Carver who guard Ellenson very well a year ago in the title game.

3. Whitefish Bay- A team that always seems to be underrated all year but, play one of the toughest D2 schedules in the state. Have a pair of talented seniors in 6'3 Miles Sigh and 6'4 Isaiah Johnson.

4. Milwaukee Washington- Are going to apply lots of pressure and play an uptempo game, which can help them or hurt them at times. 5'11 junior Te'jon Lucas is a big time transfer that they got added to a very deep backcourt.

5. Mt Horeb- They only lost one game last year but, just not convinced their that good being that they don't play the toughest schedule. 6'1 senior Drew Fredrickson and 6'2 junior Max Meylor are back and they were the top two scorers a year ago.

6. Wauwatosa West- May have the best back court in D2 with a pair of 6'1 seniors in Steffan Brown and Andre Carroll.

7. Kaukauna- Another team with a very strong back court led by 6'1 senior Carter Belling, 5'11 senior Derek Hanson, and 6'0 freshmen Jordan McCabe. Have great coaching and the solid tradition.

8. Milwaukee Pius- 6'7 senior Levi Bradley is one of the top post players in the state and teams with 6'6 senior Dominic Kenyon for a solid front line.

9. La Crosse Central- Bring back 6'5 senior Jerred Ambrose and have a very talented sophomore class.

10. West De Pere- D1 recruit 6'8 senior Cody Schwartz is back along with 6'3 senior Connor Konshak from a final four team.

11. Stoughton- Bring back double double machine 6'8 senior Nick McGlynn and that's all you need to know.

12. Milwaukee Messmer- 20 win team a year ago that I really underestimated. 6'5 senior Dallas Polk-Hillard is back and he was their best player a year ago.

13. Ashwaubenon- Very strong tradition. Have 6'5 senior Kyle Monroe back who averaged 21 a game a year ago.

14. Shawano- Surprise team a year ago that battled with West De Pere and Seymour a year ago.

15. Appleton Xavier- Needed a 15th team to be honest and best I could find.

Had to reach a little bit at the end but, outside of D1 the early rankings are always a hard one.
