Preseason Awards (All-State Team)
The basketball season is right around the corner! Everyone is getting excited for the new season, with all the excitement comes new predictions. Here are my predictions for the 2018-2019 season (All-State Team):
All-State Player of the Year: Nico Mannion (Pinnacle 2019)
Nico Mannion is hands down the best player in the state in my opinion. He just committed to the University of Arizona and should have another impressive season, maybe another state championship as well. I fully expect Nico to keep his foot on the gas and have a terrific season, while leading his team to a back to back state title run.

Nico Mannion (Pinnacle 2019)
Evan Nelson (Salpointe 2020)
Jaelen House (Shadow Mountain 2019)
Jovan Blackshear (Shadow Mountain 2019)

2nd Team:
Majok Deng (Salpointe 2019)
Jackson Ruai (Amphi 2019)
JT Elder (Cienega 2021)
DaRon Holmes (Milennium 2021)
Dominic Gonzalez (Ironwood 2020)
3rd Team:
Paris Woods (Apollo 2021)
Zay On-Tay Boothman (Buckeye 2020)
Otis Frazier (Buckeye 2019)
