Notes: Powerhouse Black enters the season with, potentially one of the deepest backcourts in the state. Led by Corona’s Saben Lee and Desert Vista’s Caleb Simmons, Powerhouse will have the athleticism and versatility to disrupt a lot of their opposition’s ball handlers. Add in sharpshooter Colten Kresl and playmaker Noah Baumann and you have a big perimeter group that can make things happen on both ends. DeShawn Wilson and Lawrence Combs add the ability to go big or small as both can play either forward spot effectively on both ends. On the inside count of 6’6” George Faull to be all over the glass while Nate Graville and Jared Rodriguez add a great inside-out combo. Though they are without a true center there are few teams that will be able to match up with the moving parts in this group. They will be fun to watch!
