Region Preview: 6A Southern
The 6A Southern region does not have as much depth as many of the other 6A regions. However, there are some talented players in the region. One of the best players in the state, Derek Williams, will be ready to try to lead Tucson through this revamped region.
Region Preview: 6A Southern
1. Kofa
This region saw a lot of turnover from last year’s rosters. Kofa has the most returners despite having the worst record in the region last year. Kofa should be improved and in position to win the region this year. A couple of the key returners to keep an eye on are Chuy Ortiz and Jeremy Smith. Smith and Ortiz are both capable scorers. However, Ortiz also runs the show at the point and does a nice job of getting his teammates involved.
2. Tucson
Although Tucson does not have as much talent as last year, they have the best player in the region and one of the best guards in the state. Derek Williams will be on a tear this upcoming season and doing all that he can to win his team a region title. He is going to be the key to whatever success that Tucson has in this upcoming season.
3. Cibola
Cibola will have a lot of work to do after losing their leader in scoring, assists, and rebounds. However, they bring back a couple of 2018 prospects who should be able to help with the transition. Ivan Galindo and CJ Atherton will need to play a big role if Cibola is going to make this prediction accurate. Look for Galindo and Atherton to do big things this year for Cibola.
