Teams With The Most Ranked Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's not a coincidence that the top teams in the state also have the most ranked players in the state. Here's a look at the teams that have the most PRZ ranked prospects (this does not include the WL): </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Chandler</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chandler comes in with a total of 22 ranked prospects, as their 2024 class helped put them over the edge with 12 ranked prospects in that group alone. Some of their top prospects include [player_tooltip player_id='364178' first='Dylan' last='Raiola'], [player_tooltip player_id='165882' first='A'Mauri' last='Washington'], [player_tooltip player_id='169404' first='Ca'Lil' last='Valentine'], [player_tooltip player_id='115501' first='Kennedy' last='Urlacher'], [player_tooltip player_id='203117' first='Zarius' last='Wells'], and [player_tooltip player_id='42941' first='Andereya' last='Nsubuga']. Chandler's 2024 and 2023 class are coming in with a chip on their shoulder, and it's no surprise that they look to be set up as contenders for the foreseeable future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Saguaro </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saguaro is tied with Basha with a total of 18 ranked players. Again, no surprise at the top 2 as Saguaro was able to defeat Chandler last year in the open division title. Saguaro will retain a number of those key players who are also top prospects such as [player_tooltip player_id='42902' first='Devon' last='Dampier'], [player_tooltip player_id='42909' first='Deric' last='English'], [player_tooltip player_id='155808' first='Jojo' last='Clark'], [player_tooltip player_id='42901' first='Zaccheus' last='Cooper'], [player_tooltip player_id='368906' first='Dajon' last='Hinton'], [player_tooltip player_id='368907' first='Logan' last='Powell'], [player_tooltip player_id='115483' first='Jaci' last='Dickerson'], [player_tooltip player_id='115524' first='Jaedon' last='Matthews'] and many others. <img class="wp-image-64635" style="width: 220px;" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/10/IMG_4613-rotated.jpg" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Basha</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>People have been raving about Basha's young talent for years now. They also enter the 2022 season with 18 ranked prospects. Within those 18, numerous are within the top 3 at their respected positions which include [player_tooltip player_id='42934' first='Cole' last='Martin'] (#1), [player_tooltip player_id='42897' first='Deshaun' last='Buchanan'] (#1), [player_tooltip player_id='42938' first='Wyatt' last='Milkovic'] (#1), [player_tooltip player_id='115486' first='Miles' last='Lockhart'] (#1), [player_tooltip player_id='115519' first='Demond' last='Williams'] (#2), [player_tooltip player_id='42908' first='James' last='Durand'] (#3), [player_tooltip player_id='121210' first='Cade' last='Price'] (#3), [player_tooltip player_id='368914' first='Samuel' last='Garcia'] (#3), and [player_tooltip player_id='169410' first='Bryson' last='Dedmon'] (#3). Overall a very explosive young squad that we could easily see compete in a state title game within the next few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Hamilton </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hamilton comes in with 17 total prospects with a dominant senior class with 12 prospects in that 2023 class. The class splits are 12-3-2 regarding the Hamilton '23, '24, and '25 classes with a big opportunity for those seniors to take control here in 2022. Although they have less ranked underclassmen as the rest, don't be suprised if you see some young unknown guys on Hamilton step up, as coach Zdebski does a phenomenal job grooming those young prospects. Definitely an exciting team to watch. Some of their top prospects include [player_tooltip player_id='165883' first='Tre' last='Spivey'], [player_tooltip player_id='165926' first='Genesis' last='Smith'], [player_tooltip player_id='214076' first='Alex' last='McLaughlin'], Chanlder David and [player_tooltip player_id='214124' first='Roch' last='Cholowsky']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Other teams with many ranked prospects include: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Desert Edge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brophy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Desert Mountain </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chaparral </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mountain View</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Salpointe Catholic </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Red Mountain </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mountain Ridge </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Liberty</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
