Preseason Division Two Rankings

The past few years it also seemed like the high major talent has been in division two and this year appears to be no different. The top three teams in the state regardless of division may very all be in D2 this year.

1. Nicolet- Might be the the most talented team in the state with the top two juniors in the state in 6'8 Jalen Johnson and 6'9 Jamari Sibley. Johnson can basically go anywhere he wants to for college and Sibley has his own handful of college offers. It seems every week they get another transfer that was starting for another school a year ago.
2. La Crosse Central- A state team a year ago they bring back all five starters and they are headlined by a trio of scholarship college players in 6'5 junior twins Johnny and Jordan Davis along with 6'7 junior Terrence Thompson. Can't over look 6'1 senior point guard Noah Parcher a four year varsity player as well.
3. Milwaukee Washington- Lost in the championship game a year ago and bring back their top two scorers in 6'5 senior Deontay Long and 6'9 sophomore Michael Foster. Forster is considered by many a top three sophomore in the country.
4. Onalaska- Went 20-4 a  year ago and bring back three starters from that team that averaged double digits in points along with 6'9 sophomore Gavin McGrath off the bench.
5. Westosha Central- A state team a year ago and they bring back three starters including their top two scoers in 6'1 senior Jaeden Zackery and 6'3 senior Dyland Anderson. Zackery is one of the elite players in the state.
6. Kaukauna- Another returning state team they bring back two starters in 6'0 junior Keaton Ferris and 6'5 senior Donovan Ivory who should have monster years after the graduation of a very talented senior class.
7. Green Bay Southwest- A little yearbook help here but, they bring back two all conference senior performers in 6'3 Will Pytleski and 6'2 Lucas Stieber.
8. Monona Grove- 6'7 senior Sam Hepp seems poised for a monster senior season and fellow senior 6'1 Caden Nelson is a returning first team all conference player.
9. Milwaukee Madison- A little yearbook help here but, they bring back four starters from a very successful team last year. Three returners averaged double digit points while the fourth starer averaged double digit rebounds.
10. Mount Horeb- Yearbook help here but, they won 18 games a year ago and bring back four starters that all averaged eight plus points a game.
