A very top heavy 3A leads to a hopeful amazing Final-4 or maybe an Elite-8.
Here are the top teams to keep an eye out for:
1. Paradise Honors
2. Valley Christian
3. ALA-Queen Creek
These 3 all can easily win it. All have D1 talented players and good coaching.
PHHS has the deepest roster of talent led by Jalen Scott and Jerry Iliya plus stud soph transfer Nate Pickens.
VC has the top shooting senior duo in Logan Phillips and Jackson Risi. Phillips may be top player period in 3A.
ALA-QC has one of the biggest front lines regardless of 6A-3A with Dyson Lighthall and Devon Brooke but also have some decent complimenting guards. Both Holmes brothers can play. Sr and Jr.
4. Sabino
5. Gilbert Christian
6. Chinle
7. WInslow
8. Page
All 5 teams have senior scoring.
Sabino have seniors Pablo Gutierrez and Cesar Saenz.
Gilbert Christian has one of the top guards in 3A in Trey Donaldson.
Chinle has the Netflix senior star Cooper Burbank plus senior Curtis Begay.
Winslow has do it all senior Zachary Wagner.
Page have senior guards Dainian Sloan and Gabe Gomez.
Maybe 2 sleepers could be:
9. Payson
10. Show Low
Both teams have senior shot blockers.
Payson has Will Howell who I viewed at Ironwood JV team 2 years ago and last year led 3A in Blocks and was 4th in rebs while avg over 10 ppg. He was around 6'5+.
Show Low have 2 in the top-5 shot blockers which include 6'3 Thadeus Carlyon and 6'6 Colton McGinnis. Both avg over 10 ppg in points.
