Division II Boys Basketball Preview

By Don Ketchum AIA365

Can Tucson Salpointe Catholic’s boys earn a Division II basketball championship trophy to go with the school’s piece of hardware from football last fall? We are about to find out. The Lancers, who finished as state runner-up to Paradise Valley a year ago as the No. 6 seed, come in this time at No. 1. They and seven other teams earned first-round byes on Feb. 20 and will begin play in the second round on Feb. 22. Those seven other teams are No. 2 Tempe, No. 3 Flagstaff, No. 4 Vail Cienega, No. 5 Cave Creek Cactus Shadows, No. 6 Surprise Shadow Ridge, No. 7 Lake Havasu and No. 8 Phoenix Shadow Mountain. Leading the way for Salpointe is hard-charging guard Cameron Denson, who was azcentral.com’s Big Schools Player of the Year in football and is headed to his hometown University of Arizona on a football scholarship. Denson is as complete of a player on the basketball floor as he was in football. He can run the floor, of course, defend, shoot and yes, even throw down a spectacular dunk now and then. Shadow Mountain dueled with Salpointe for the top seed most of the regular season, but surprisingly fell to No. 8 on the final list. Shadow Mountain, coached by Jerry Conner and Matadors alumnus and former NBA player Mike Bibby, is loaded with talented underclassmen, most notably Bibby’s son, Michael, a sophomore point guard. Paradise Valley, which was seeded No. 4 in last year’s tournament, has a tougher road to travel this time around. The Trojans are seeded No. 10 and play host to No. 23 Phoenix Arcadia in the first round on Feb. 20. Should PV win that contest, it would travel to face No. 7 Lake Havasu on Feb. 22. Southern Arizona teams comprise a large portion of the bracket. In addition to Salpointe and Cienega, there are Tucson Sunnyside, Tucson Catalina Foothills, Tucson Canyon del Oro, Tucson Cholla, Tucson Ironwood Ridge, Sierra Vista Buena, Tucson Sahuaro and Tucson Sabino. After the second round on Feb. 22, the quarterfinals will be held Feb. 26 at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale. Semifinals are Feb. 27 and championship game is March 1, both at Jobing.com.

page 21 Division II Girls Basketball Preview

By Don Ketchum AIA365

The Division II state girls basketball tournament proved to be an exciting one in the 2012-13 season, as Scottsdale Saguaro emerged with the No. 8 seed and went all the way to claim the crown. Will a similar situation occur this time around? The prospects are intriguing. Saguaro was unable to earn a first-round bye on Feb. 19, and comes in at No. 10. The Sabercats will play host to No. 23 Phoenix Washington. Saguaro is led by guards Casey Rarrick and Jelani Huma. Chandler Seton Catholic, which reached the semifinals as the No. 2 seed a year ago, is the top seed this year. No matter which division or section in which Seton competes, it always seems to be at the top of its game under Karen Self, one of the state’s top coaches. Seton opens play in the second round on Feb. 21 along with the other top seven seeds that received first-round byes. The seven are No. 2 Phoenix Sierra Linda, No. 3 Vail Cienega, No. 4 Phoenix Thunderbird, No. 5 Flagstaff Coconino, No. 6 Yuma Cibola, No. 7 Tucson Flowing Wells, and No. 8 Phoenix South Mountain. South Mountain held the top spot for most of the second half of the regular season, but slipped to the No. 8 spot on the final list. If you are looking for potential surprises, keep an eye on Thunderbird, Flowing Wells, No. 9 Tempe Marcos de Niza, No. 12 Buckeye or the winner of a first-round game on Feb. 19 between No. 18 Peoria and No. 15 Prescott Valley Bradshaw Mountain. The quarterfinals will be held on Feb. 25 at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale. It also will be the site for the semifinals on Feb. 27 and the championship game on March 1.

Division I Boys Basketball Preview

By Les Willsey AIA365

Corona del Sol didn't have an easy time repeating as Division I boys basketball champs last season. It won all four of its tourna- ment game by a total of 14 points. Standout guard Casey Benson lost many of the surrounding players that helped forge the first title in 2012 when he was a sophomore. Last year it was more of an unsung, blue-collar group led by Benson that prevailed with clutch performances and a little luck. The Great Expectation as state tournament play opens this week: Corona should/will have no trouble winning a third consecutive state title against a field -- other than the Aztecs -- that would otherwise be a donnybrook among half a dozen, maybe more teams. If Corona prevails it would equal a feat accomplished in state big-school lore just seven years ago by Mesa Mountain View (2005- 2006-2007). The Mountain View three-peat was led by former collegians Harper Kamp and Kendall Wallace. Is there any way can Corona be knocked off in its bid for a three-peat with one of most talented lineups the state has seen? Don't think so. But a bunch of other teams would like nothing more than to be remembered as the Arizona team that took down the 2013-2014 Corona juggernaut. Here's an overview of the tournament with matchups, some darkhorses, who's hot, who's not and other notes in the battle for D-I supremacy. The tournament opens Thursday (Feb. 20), continues with the round of 16 on Saturday (Feb. 22) and concludes the following week with games Feb. 27 (quarterfinals), Feb. 28 (semifinals) and March 1 (championship). Thursday Feb. 20 1st-round matchups: #17 Desert Ridge at #16 Desert Mountain (winner at #1 Corona del Sol); #24 Ironwood at #9 Mesa Mtn. View (winner at #8 Highland); #21 Deer Valley at #12 Mesa (winner at #5 Sunnyslope); #20 Cesar Chavez at #13 Red Mountain (winner at #4 Perry); #19 Central at #14 Apollo (winner at #3 Pinnacle); #22 Carl Hayden at #11 Chaparral (winner at #6 Gilbert); #23 St. Mary's at #10 Westview (winner at #7 Hamilton); #18 Chandler at #15 Desert Vista (winner at #2 Dobson). FAVORITE: Corona del Sol (29-1). Can you say prohibitive favorite. The school that has Benson for the fourth straight year added transfers Dane Kuiper and Connor MacDougall. It already had returnees Cassius Peat, Jarret Givens and Russ Davis. Toss in freshman enrollee Alex Barcello for good measure and the Aztecs have been awesome the majority of the time, very good the rest. As mentioned earlier Corona won four games by 14 points total at state last year. This year's team has won its games by an average of 20 points. There have been a few single-digit victories (Chaparral, Dobson, Mesa Mountain View and Perry), but they've also crushed very good teams (Hamilton, Highland, Gilbert to name a few) by as much as 25 to 35. What amazes about Corona with all the individual talent in hand is how well they mesh for coach Sammy Duane Jr. Noone seems worried about being the star or to shine above another teammate. That chemistry plus the talent makes it difficult to see the Aztecs losing. Corona, how- ever, does enter state with a close call behind it. Corona trailed Perry by 20 points last week in a super-sectional final and rallied for a one-point win. That tells Duane his club can dig itself out of a big hole, which hasn't happened to that extent in any of its other games save its loss to Findlay Prep. DARK HORSES: Going with the first-round bye teams in the bottom of the bracket and Perry. No. 3 Pinnacle (20-9) won't have an easy road. What the Pioneers do have is four-year standout Dorian Pickens, who has picked up his scoring some to boost the offense. Pickens forms a nice 1-2 punch with guard Trey Ingram. Pinnacle has depth and a solid starting group. The Pioneers face either Central or Apollo in their first game -- it beat both during the seasion. After that the likes of Chaparral, Gilbert lurk. Chaparral has beaten Pinnacle twice. Both were close. No. 6 Gilbert gets the Carl Hayden-Chaparral winner first. Gilbert matches up well with most teams and has plenty of size and solid point guard in Anthony Bryant. The Tigers also could end up meeting Pinnacle in a later round. Gilbert has not played either this season, but closed out state last year beating Chaparral and losing to Pinnacle with most of the same players in the quarterfinals. No. 7 Hamilton has played under the radar with a lineup that plays good defense and doesn't include a household name like Benson, Pickens, (Jake) Toolson or (Michael) Humphrey. Hamilton was blasted by Corona by 35 points after the Huskies opened with 13 wins. Its only other losses are to Gilbert and was upset by Central in super-sectional play. The Huskies also have a win over Dobson, a rematch that could take place in the quarterfi- nals. No. 2 Dobson found itself in late December and save a loss to Westwood almost two weeks ago has shocked many observers with its entry among the top contenders. The Mustangs are a three-point-shooting phenomenon. They have five players that have shot between 38 and 50 percent from three-point range. As a team have made nearly 280 3s and shoot 45 percent from long range. Live by the three, die by the three some say. True, but most teams prolific from beyond the arc have two maybe three play- ers who are marksmen. It's difficult for all their trey shooters to be off the same game. Dobson has a close loss to Hamilton and two close wins over Pinnacle. They are teams Dobson could face to reach the final. No. 4 Perry (24-5) suffered but one loss until late January when it faced a stretch of games vs. Highland, Corona, Gilbert and Hamilton. The Pumas lost three of four and then bounced back in the super-sectional to nearly win it before bowing to Corona late. Perry has a good draw, but must beat (likely Sunnyslope) and Corona to reach the title game. No doubt Perry has been battle-tested most recently and the last loss top Corona has to be a confidence boost. ODDS AND ENDS: Here are records of the top-10 seeded teams when playing against teams seed- ed 1-12 in the tournament: Corona del Sol (9-0); Hamilton (4-2); Dobson (4-4); Highland (4-4); Gilbert (3-3); Perry (3-4); Pinnacle (2-3); Sunnyslope (0-1); Westview (0-3); Mesa Mtn. View (0-5). The last teams other than St. Mary's to win the D-I (big school) title were Mountain View (2011) and North (2010). WHO'S HOT: Corona del Sol has won 16 games in a row. Dobson and Chaparral four in a row. HANDFUL OF PLAYERS TO WATCH: Casey Benson, Dane Kuiper, Corona; Michael Humphrey, Sammy Barnes- Thompkins, Sunnyslope; Ryan Richardson, Dobson; Kodi Justice, Dobson; Zach Evans, Hamilton; Anthony Bryant, Gilbert; Markus Howard, Jordan Howard, Perry; Dorian Pickens, Trey Ingram, Pinnacle; Jake Toolson, Highland; Payon Dastrup, Mesa Mtn.

page 53 Division I Girls Basketball Preview

By Les Willsey AIA365

Unlike the last three seasons fans won't be yawning the next two weeks watching the Division I girls basketball state tournament. There is no foregone conclusion that one team has it wrapped up before any team steps on the court as in the case of St. Mary's' dominance (2011-2013). The 2013-2014 season has been a breath of fresh air. More normal and more thrilling. With the exception of a cou- ple anticipated matchups in the round of 16 -- say Highland-Hamilton, Basha-Millennium and perhaps Westview-Mtn. View -- the real fun should be unleashed in the quarterfinals where there figures to be no sure thing. Here's an overview with matchups, favorites, darkhorses, who's hot and not and other notes in the battle for D-I supremacy. The tournament opens Wednesday (Feb. 19), continues with the round of 16 on Friday (Feb. 21) and con- cludes the following week with games Feb. 26 (quarterfinals), Feb. 28 (semifinals) and March 1 (championship). Wednesday Feb. 19 1st-round matchups: #17 Betty Fairfax at #16 Corona del Sol (winner at #1 Dobson); #24 Mesa at #9 Basha (winner at #8 Millennium); #21 Ironwood at #12 Horizon (winner at #5 Desert Vista); #20 Valley Vista at #13 Pinnacle (winner at #4 Mountain Pointe); #19 Tolleson at #14 Chaparral (winner at #3 Liberty); #22 Red Mountain at #11 Mesa Mtn. View (winner at #6 Westview); #23 Chandler at #10 Hamilton (winner at #7 Highland); #18 Desert Mountain at #15 Boulder Creek (winner at #2 Mesquite). FAVORITE(S): Desert Vista (26-2) slipped to the #5 seed after losing in the semis of its super-sectional to Mesquite. It was only Desert Vista's second loss of the season and both were to Mesquite. The Thunder have the most talent in the field. In a few games down the stretch they lost focus and composure, especially in games they were pressed until the end by Mesquite and Mountain Pointe. Other con- tenders have gained confidence knowing a killer-instinct that existed the first half of the year by the Thunder has waned a bit. There are teams capable of beating Desert Vista straight up, but if the Thunder's mindset is right.....Top- seed Dobson (28-2) played the toughest schedule of any D-I team. The Mustangs lost twice during the sesason (Desert Vista and Mesquite), but have not lost since Jan. 10 while racking up 11 wins in a row. They also beat Mesquite once and would love a shot at redemption vs. Desert Vista (most anticipate a Dobson-Desert Vista matchup in the semifinals). Mesquite (25-5) solidified itself as a top contender by beating Dobson and Desert Vista in a two- week span in mid-January, then dispatched Desert Vista again in double overtime last week. Mesquite has beaten Desert Vista, Dobson, Westview, Highland, Hamilton and Mountain Pointe this season. Mesquite showed signs of coming back as a contender last season after a couple of down years and may have the best chance of the trio of favorites of reaching the title game. DARK HORSE(S): Highland, Westview and Mountain Pointe. Any of the three could make a run at the finals. Highland and Westview would have to overcome Mesquite. Mountain Pointe would have to get past Desert Vista and Dobson. The caveat is they must play three or four solid games in succession to reach the title game. No clunkers. ODDS AND ENDS: Here are records of the top-10 seeded teams when playing against teams seeded 1-12 in the tournament: Dobson (11-2); Desert Vista (6-2), Mesquite (9-4), Liberty (2-1), Highland (5-6), Mt. Pointe (5-6), Westview (4-5), Millennium (2-3), Basha (2-3) and Hamilton (2-6). The last teams other than St. Mary's to win the D-I (big school) title were Dobson (2010) and Highland in 2008 and 2009. WHO'S HOT: Dobson has won 12 games in a row, Mesquite seven in a row and Hamilton six in a row. WHO'S NOT: Chandler has dropped five games in a row and Red Mountain has lost four straight. PLAYERS TO WATCH: Miyah Leith, Tori Lloyd, Dobson; Cecily Wilson, Mesquite; Emily Wolph, Kristine Anigwe, Desert Vista; Renee Contreras, Westview; Maddy Sulka, Mtn.
