Two big games over defending champion Skyline Prep with 34 points (13-18 FG), 13 rebounds, 3 blocks and 25 points (9-13 FG), 11 rebounds, 3 blocks in the State Semifinals.

Coach of the Year: Jason Fraser, Skyline Prep
Skyline Prep head coach Jason Fraser was in his first season for the defending state champions. The Bengals graduated 10 seniors from the previous year so Fraser had to rebuild the entire varsity roster. Coach Fraser starred at Villanova in his college playing days and was recently coaching at the professional level before taking over at Skyline Prep. His team showed dramatic improvement throughout the season. The team entered the state tournament as the 14 seed and advanced all the way to the state semifinals knocking off 3 seed Desert Heights and 6 seed AZ Compass before falling to 2 seed Tri-City, 66-51. Skyline Prep finished the season 15-9 with a solid foundation for the future under Coach Fraser.
