<div>Thought I'd start this season out right and try writing some sort of preseason predictions for a rapidly improving Conference 16. While the top team St. Louis may not be able to repeat on three consecutive 23+ win seasons, this conference is definitely improving from the middle of the pack up. <br />
<br />
<br />
Cinci, Peoria, Dayton, Youngstown, and St. Louis all landed decent to great classes and all seemingly have their programs on their way to contention. This makes things much harder in conference however, where many of the past easy victories may soon become very hard fought rivalry games. <br />
<br />
<br />
Overview of Recruiting (From Best to Worst): <br />
<br />
<br />
St. Louis Masqueraders: 2/3 <br />
<br />
Coming off there incredible run with the loss of there final pieces to there two class dynasty that lead them to a 67 game win streak, Coach JB was in need of some new talent that could come in and somewhat make up for the loss of three spectacular starters. While these guys definitely won't have the chemistry or experience to come in and right away replace the three SRs from last year, they may actually have very similar talent, which is very scary considering the guards St. Louis returns. Faustino Horn could very easily in time be a star for this team. If he can come in and right away be a solid low post scorer and not make to many mistakes this team is going to be on its way to another Conf 16 title. The other two frosh could well be starters for this team and with time, they could both grow up into real solid role players on what could be another St. Louis NTT champion squad. <br />
<br />
<br />
Peoria War Eagles: 29/21 <br />
<br />
Peoria pulled in their second strong class over the last three years with this top 25 class of all mid sized players. It will be interesting to see where these guys fit into Coach Balla's lineup this year. With one definite solid scorer in Rafeal Mace (23ppg), Peoria has upgraded some on offense even with the loss of SG Jeremy Espinal. Mace would also fit nicely as the teams PG with his solid apg numbers. This could allow JR Drew Low to slide into the SG spot and maybe let the remaining to incoming Frosh fight over the SF spot. Both these guys seem capable of playing in the SF role and maybe even the PF slot if called upon, but that will be up to Coach Balla to decide. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dayton Fightin Ags: 31/40 <br />
<br />
Dayton barely edges out both Youngstown and Cinci as the third overall combined rankings class. Dayton brings in two very nice guards in Wayne Carrol and Brandon Vaughn as well as a probabl career NA in Keegan Larson. Vaughn will be a four year starter at SG as he brings some potent scoring from his 26-1 HS team on which he scored nearly 22 a game. Dayton is hoping that his scoring will come close to replacing recently departed Cody Dollard's scoring. Carrol brings some very neat PG skills to a team that had an absolute abundance of TOs last year. Here's hoping he lives up to his talent and HS numbers and finds his niche as Dayton's PG this year so that I can play him along with SR Larry Graves who could move to SF this year. <br />
<br />
<br />
Youngstown Jazz: 54/19 <br />
<br />
The Jazz bring in a very well rounded class to continue its revival started last year begun under new hot shot coach Ospete for whom the Youngstown Athletic Department spent an enormous amount to hire. This class adds some valuable hieght to this team, as any signs of a post player left after last years SRs departure. Two if not all three of these players could see significant time as starters for Youngstown this year. Hopefully Ospete can compliment this class and last years star FR John Williams with another solid class this cycle to continue in its revival. This team should come close matching the Youngstown team of 4 or 5 cycles ago that was so much fun to "watch". <br />
<br />
<br />
Cincinatti Hitmen: 50/22 <br />
<br />
Cinci brings in its third straight top 50 class. Something that singnals the soon coming of a more than just fringe NTT team. Cinci landed two PG prospects and a solid looking post player. One of the Frosh will likely start at point this year as last year Cinci struggled with TO's. However this class fails to replace the lack of hieght and especially the loss of big time C Eric O'Connell who was a true force down low for all of the last four years. His massive presence will be missed until, hopefully next year, Cinci can find a low block player or two. This team does look on its way to building a solid team but I don't know if they can contend for any conference control this year. However, I have definitely seen Coach JBayer do some incredible things with his teams and seemingly put under talented teams in the right positions to make run after run to the NTT, so I am not gonna doubt the chance of this team doing some really good things this year. <br />
<br />
<br />
The Rest of the Confernce: <br />
<br />
<br />
Sioux City simpletons: 133/118- Landed a decent 6-10 guy and an ok looking guard, shouldn't get any worse but I don't know if they improved very much over last years 9-15 squad. <br />
<br />
<br />
Milwaukee athletics: 97/93- A top 100 class is not bad for a bad CPU program. There is definitely a decent guard between those guys however they desperately needed hieght and didn't get any of real signifigance. Milwaukee shouldn't be that good this year again. <br />
<br />
<br />
Pontiac D-stroyers: 200+- This doesn't help the perennial whipping boys of Conf 16. Nothing kills a program worse than an absolutely inactive human coach that somehow maintains control over his team. Maybe Coach Vidic will wake up from his longggg slumber or maybe the CPU will finally take Pontiac over.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Some_Good_Articles_on_16_from_MB&diff=2328Some Good Articles on 16 from MB2007-04-13T23:40:33Z<p>Blalock: </p>

<br />
NTT Teams: St. Louis, Cinci, Dayton? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Key Players: ==<br />
<br />
'''Cinci''': Eric O’Connell: Has to shoulder the load Outlaw carried for Cinci in conference play. He’s definitely got the talent to be that inside force, maybe without the scoring numbers. His play as a sophomore will be the deciding factor in whether or not Cinci can hold onto the north title. <br />
<br />
'''Dayton''': Cody Dollard- Has to be a huge force as an undersized 6-8 center. A very, very capable scorer, needs to average around 16pts and 6 boards while playing his best D against players like O’Connell. He has been inconsistent in the past, but Dayton we’ll need him to be rock solid to take control of the North. <br />
<br />
'''Sioux City''': The simpletons still have a very good chance at beating Dayton this year, if SG Claude Muse can be huge and take his team on his shoulders. He has shown signs of being a dominate player in this years first two games. <br />
<br />
'''St. Louis''': Dan White: A guy who has not shown up very much for St. Louis in terms of stats and in their last game really never showed up at all. However when St. Louis plays Cinci they’ll probably need some production from White to break Cinci’s hold of power in this conference. <br />
<br />
'''Youngstown''': I love the trio of guards they got: Ryan Koch, Bruce Spain, Jerry Peacock. These guys, all upperclassmen, can flat out score… they may not play D or pass the ball, but they’ll shoot lights out. They really have absolutely no one else around them to support, so if they are going to get a big upset its gonna have to come from lights out play by these three. I’m kinda of excited/scared about playing these guys cause they really can lights up the score board. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Games to Watch: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Game 9 and 10 for St. Louis are going to be huge: Cinci vs. St. Louis game 9 and Dayton vs. St Louis in game 10 <br />
<br />
<br />
Both game 6 and 15 will be huge as Cinci and Dayton will battle it out for North Division Supremacy. Also the games between Sioux City and Dayton will be interesting and the Dayton-Youngstown game will be all about revenge as last year Youngstown derailed Dayton’s season with a big upset win. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== '''Summary''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
This Conference will likely be a three team struggle, but I really don’t see any way St. Louis loses it. The Youngstown and Sioux City teams will be pretty decent and could be set for an upset this year; I’m hoping this conference can sneak three teams into the NTT and maybe both Youngstown and S.C. will get to the PTT. We have 4 teams undefeated + a 1-1 St. Louis team that has played two very difficult games in OOC play so that has to bode pretty well for the conf.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=S35_Conference_Preview&diff=2326S35 Conference Preview2007-04-13T23:32:16Z<p>Blalock: New page: Keys to Conference 16 play: Projected order of Finish: North: 1.

<hr />
<div><br />
== Region 16 Pre-Season All-Conference Team: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Lawerence Kroeker''' – St. Louis: PG, Jr.- Last year’s conference player of the year will once again be one of the best in the conference if not the league. His 20+ ppg average is likely to increase a little while his all-around game continues to develop. With the rest of last years starters returning Kroeker will try to lead a pretty young team to a conference title and maybe further. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Norman Myers'''- Cincinnati: PG, Sr.- One of two returning starting SR guards for Cinci. His scoring will have to increase with the loss of Khalil Outlaw and will have to be huge for Cinci to continue its dominance of Region 16. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Todd Kyser'''- Dayton: SG, Sr.- This senior will look to close out his career with four straight first team all-conference selections. Last season was a disappointment for him as he only averaged 16.5 ppg and shot under 50% for the first time in his entire career. However the addition of Larry Graves at point guard will help improve his chances to score. Look for him to once again average well over 20ppg. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Curtis Green'''- St. Louis: SF So.- Last years FPOY in region 16 will continue to dominate all aspects of the game from the SF spot. His versatility at 6-10 makes him a very dangerous match-up. A key component if St. Louis is going to make a run in the NTT. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Ryan Koch'''- Youngstown: PG Sr. – An excellent scoring PG and a good defender for Youngstown. While his A/TO is bad for a PG as he is playing out of position he still is the key player on this squad. Last year avg. 17.6 ppg on +50% shooting and over a spg. Another returning all-conference player. <br />
<br />
<br />
There is 4 returning first team all-conference players and all of them are guards. This region is definitely heavy on the guards and with the loss of Outlaw, has very few if any good post players. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a few unheralded players to watch this year: <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Cody Dollard'''- Dayton: C, So – 14.2ppg, 5rpg: A plus 6 player with tremendous talent at both ends of the floor. A little sad that he got snubbed by both freshman of the year honor in the conf and 2nd team honors but this year his presence will definitely be noted. The only problem he faces is overcoming the lack of a larger post player playing beside him. At 6-8 he’ll have to find a way to match up against larger post players. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jerry Peacock'''- Youngstown: SF, Jr- 14.5ppg +50% shooting and 3pt shooting: A great scoring threat from the wing. While he may not be that versatile he is a deadly shooter and one of the best 3pt shooters out there. Along with Koch and Bruce Spain, this Youngstown team seems set to score at very high rate and shoot very accurately. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Francis Jacobs'''- Pontiac: C, Jr- A guy who has not started but has the projected numbers to nearly average a double-double on a poor team, could also bring in 40 blocks. He could maybe add a little depth to the quality of post players in this region.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Some_Good_Articles_on_16_from_MB&diff=2323Some Good Articles on 16 from MB2007-04-13T23:28:44Z<p>Blalock: </p>

<hr />
<div>Season Preview: <br />
<br />
'''North:'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Cincinnati hitmen: The Hitmen are the reigning champs of conf. 16 and have been a long time powerhouse. Following a one win NTT appearance, Cincinnati returns four of its starters and looks to repeat as conf. champs. The one graduating senior, Khalil Outlaw, will be sorely missed. He was the mainstay and powerhouse at center for the hitmen and consistently did all the things you would ask from a center. His presence as an all-around player will have to be replaced in part by returning starting PF Eric O’Connell. This Freshman proved to be an effective post presence, but will need to up his game to replace some of Outlaws production. The team’s heart and soul will be in its two returning senior guards, who will need to provide a consistent dose of scoring to make up for Outlaws’ loss and to compliment JR SF Gary Ware. <br />
<br />
<br />
Sioux City simpletons: A consistently decent team will be in need of a PG after this year as it loses their mainstay SR Bruce Milazzo. The team returns three starters, but to remain competitive this team will need to find a ball-handler and scorer who can fill some of the production that Milazzo leaves behind. SF Claude Muse will look to build on a solid sophomore season and up his scoring from 13ppg. The two post spots will likely be manned by 6-11 JR Sergio Askew and 7-0 SR Maurice Brewster. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dayton Fightin Ags: For the first time in likely over a decade of seasons Dayton will be coming off a non-losing season and hopefully building up to even bigger and better things. The Ags lose no seniors of significance and return four starters. The backcourt will be the strength of this team, as it will return two seniors who can light it up. Todd Kyser and Ernest Murray both shoot over 50% on their careers and look to continue to produce on the offensive side, while hopefully providing some disruption on defense with their athleticism. The frontcourt will be lead by Sophomore Cody Dollard, who showed flashes of his capability in his FR campaign. This team will be Dayton’s best up to date and will look to be even more competitive. <br />
<br />
<br />
Peoria War Eagles: Consistently bad recruiting coupled with a 5-17 season so far don’t bode well for Peoria in the coming years. The loss of two senior starters will hurt, but next year will likely have 3 Senior starters looking to salvage some kind of success next year. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''South'''<br />
<br />
St Louis Masqueraders: The perennial C16 South champions are looking to upgrade their status to C16 champions with the graduation of Cincinnati's Khalil Outlaw. Six of the team's top 7 players return, all of whom are capable of earning a starting job (though the lineup will very likely stay as-is). All-League 2nd-teamer Lawrence Kroeker leads the team, setting the tone on offense with his 22ppg and 2.7apg, while also leading the defense with 1.6spg. Inexperience will still be a concern with no seniors in the starting lineup, but there is sufficient raw talent to expect a top-40 finish. Small Forward Curtis Green is emerging as an "all-over-the-court" player. <br />
<br />
Youngstown Steelers: A painfully weak schedule and a pair of surprising victories (#77 Rockford, #106 Dayon) inflated Youngstown's record this season, as a lineup with a 6'4" PF (Andrew Gordon) doesn't typically belong in the middle rankings of any league. Don't get me wrong - they're not completely incompetent. They're going to return three starters who shoot over 50% FGs and aren't shy to shoot the long ball. A human coach would have done wonders, as I expect junior Ryan Koch would have done better at SG with senior Tim Aguirre starting. Koch will be back, however, and should cause matchup problems on offense and defense. He simply doesn't have the talent surrounding him to get into the PTT again. <br />
<br />
Milwaukee Athletics: Milwaukee is in trouble this off-season. An already-weak rebounding situation will get worse when center Calvin Bell graduates, and there's nobody over 6'7" to take his spot. Senior-to-be Kip Pratt will likely take his spot, but his talents lie in other areas like his 1.4spg. A graduation in the backcourt may give sophomore Bernard Stokes a chance to start; as the team's only 50% shooter, he has earned it. But Milwaukee will need a star recruit (or three) to break their RTT habit. <br />
<br />
Pontiac M-City Bears: Pontiac fell off the deep end this season, after having graduated their top scorer and a defensive-minded PG. With no "personality" left on the team, the CPU-coached Bears relied on the skills of their 6'7" frontcourt. Freshman Bruce Barrett showed a great flair for defense with his 28 blocks, and if sophomore Francis Jacobs gets promoted off the bench, the frontcourt could be an appealing "go-to" for next season's coach. Jacobs' per-minute averages would rival any big man in the conference not named "Outlaw". Still, despite the possible decent frontcourt, this team isn't going anywhere - the guards are completely useless, and I doubt the CPU recruiter is going to fill that need.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=S34_Recruiting&diff=2321S34 Recruiting2007-04-13T23:26:20Z<p>Blalock: New page: Here is a region 16 HS All-Region Team: PG Billy Freeman: Dayton- 6-0 11.3ppg, 4.2apg, 1.7stpg: This PG is the classic assist specialist and a very solid defender.

<hr />
<div>Here is a region 16 HS All-Region Team: <br />
<br />
<br />
PG Billy Freeman: Dayton- 6-0 11.3ppg, 4.2apg, 1.7stpg: This PG is the classic assist specialist and a very solid defender. He spent most his time feeding the ball down low to Center Rodolfo Feliciano. He also help lead his team to a 24-2 record so far in his SR season. <br />
<br />
<br />
SG Andres Martin: Cincinnati- 6-4 22.8ppg, 2.4stpg, 1.5apg: Martin has shown throughout the year that he is both one of the Regions best scorers and one of the best defensive lockdown guys. His presence on the court in Cinci carried his team to a winning record. This guy will be premier 2 guard at the next level. <br />
<br />
<br />
SF D.J. Wilde: Peoria- 6-9 20.2ppg, 5.7rpg, 1.3stpg: The region was short on SF this year, but in a weak class Wilde stood out for his scoring. He was the number one option on his HS team and at 6-9 created some matchup problems at the SF spot. While his ball-handling skills are much questioned, he has the ability to hold his own when it comes to defense and will be able to score a few points at the next level. <br />
<br />
<br />
PF Larry Riddles: Pontiac- 6-11 15.8ppg, 9rpg, 2.3 blpg, 1.4 apg: A standout post player on the region's number one team. The combination of his abilities to rebound and block shots was unmatched in this region. He'll be a very nice presence in the low block and has a chance to be a great all-around player at the next level who can handle the ball, score, rebound, and play solid D. <br />
<br />
<br />
C Rodolfo Feliciano: Dayton- 6-11 22.4ppg, 9.6rpg, 1.8blpg: Probably Region 6's best player, he dominated the low block and provided most of the scoring on Dayton's 24-2 team. The presence he provides in rebounding and scoring will show up at the next level. He'll one day be one of the top low block players in this league. <br />
<br />
<br />
Other Players to Watch: <br />
<br />
PG Larry Graves: Pontiac- 6-5 15.3ppg, 2.8apg, 1.1stpg: A team doesn't go 25-1 without strong PG play and Graves provided that. His all-around play was very solid and although he was never counted on to carry the load of the teams offense, he has a chance to be a very effective offensive player at the next level. <br />
<br />
<br />
PG Vernon Baker: Youngstown- 6-2 18ppg, 3apg, 1.4stpg: Baker is a very solid point guard who does everything well. He has the ability to be a solid all-around PG who will score, dish it out, and play a little defense.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Some_Good_Articles_on_16_from_MB&diff=2320Some Good Articles on 16 from MB2007-04-13T23:25:25Z<p>Blalock: </p>

<div>'''JB's Ranking'''<br />
<br />
<br />
PGs - Mullan (CIN), Carroll (DAY), Gould (YNG) <br />
<br />
- I was tempted to bump Gould up the ranks in PG; otherwise, I like this trio. Mullan should continue to make others look bad. <br />
<br />
<br />
SGs - Vaughan (DAY), Gamble (MIL), Mace (PEO) <br />
<br />
- I was close to adding Delbert Marble (CIN), but felt Mace was more important to his team. Gamble's youth makes him a risk, but he's the scariest of the SGs. <br />
<br />
<br />
SFs - Manning (STL), Odell (DAY), Walters (YNG) <br />
<br />
- Not a whole lot at SF; Manning takes the cake for being a reliable scorer, while Odell's versatility pushes him past Crist. <br />
<br />
<br />
PFs - Eversole (PEO), Bland (YNG), Horn (STL) <br />
<br />
- Hard to judge here; Bland and Horn are both 20ppg potential, but have a history of disappearing for several-game stretches. Eversole brings well-roundedness along with the grit of a true C. <br />
<br />
<br />
Cs - Morgan (DAY), Hewitt (MIL), Ponce (STL) <br />
<br />
- C16's deepest position; also the easiest trio to pick. The next couple Cs (Tallant, Stubbs, McGrew) are very worthwhile players.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Some_Good_Articles_on_16_from_MB&diff=2317Some Good Articles on 16 from MB2007-04-13T23:20:59Z<p>Blalock: </p>

Up in the North, Dayton should be good for another year of success. Their best players are in their SR and JR classes, and they have a freshman who seems to fit the same mold as all their previously successful SFs. Cincy continues to land bland recruits with surprisingly-high rankings, and should tread water in 2nd. Peoria needs to find a way to exploit their talent while compensating for their relative lack of depth; with Rafael Mace a senior, this might be a do-or-die year. <br />
<br />
<br />
With St Louis likely to drop off and Milwaukee picking up a near-ideal class to complement their big men, C16-South could undergo a shift in power in the near future. Youngstown maintains the talent to stay competitive, but hasn't added any impact players to really draw into contention for 1st. Pontiac Sucks.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Recruit_overview_for_S41&diff=2315Recruit overview for S412007-04-13T23:17:20Z<p>Blalock: /* JB's quick overview */</p>

<br />
Man this conference is just gonna start getting so tough to win in. I can't believe the success of all the coaches in this conference in recruiting, and I finally think that will start resulting in C16 being at the top of the Conference rankings for a while. <br />
<br />
It looks like Milwaukee really made a statement this season in recruiting landing to post monsters that should be mainstays down low as their program this season looks to build on their SR class talent that surprised many last season and will be able to look to the future with hope with these FR. <br />
<br />
Peoria continues bringing in solid classes and hopefully replaces some of their very talented graduated class with these guys. Coach Balla has really done a great job building the War Eagles into consistent competitors, who have shown they can play with the big boys. <br />
<br />
Youngstown built on a terrific class last season to give them four consecutive top 100 classes, which you definitely won't find in its history. They should only grow up even more with the added young talent. We'll be waiting to see if the talent can mesh together and find some chemistry this season. Coach Ospete will have the talent this year and a SR leader in Williams, its just a matter of putting it together to make it to the NTT. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Cincinnati landed its best class in a long while giving them more than just above average players for once. In Delbert Marble, Cinci may have found the all-around star guard that can lift them out of their recent slump and back into their annual NTT runs. I like the looks of this undersized Cinci team with Marble sliding in at any of three Guard slots. It looks like C16 will once again be respecting the talent on this team, not just the coaching. <br />
<br />
To me, St. Louis is gearing up to win the NTT, not just take a shot at it, but to win it in one LG5's all-time great's SR season, Marquis Hopson. They added a little grease to the engine this off-season with three solid back-up players who can all contribute coming off the bench. After two seasons of playing together, Hopson and the JR 2/3 class look like they are finally ready to put together a magical season. <br />
<br />
Dayton will be strong this season as they return their four most important starters and add a 5/10 ranked class, but how good they'll be still remains very much up in the air. Maybe the team will grow up a little bit more this season, or maybe the lack of height in guard position will continue to hinder this teams ability to be able to take down the best. It also remains to be seen if any of the FR will fit into their roles they are being assigned. <br />
<br />
Overall there is little doubt about this conference's ability, but only the proving of it on the floor. I'm looking forward to this season as it should be extremely exciting competition. Good luck to all of our coaches and I'll be seeing Y'all soon on the court.</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Recruit_overview_for_S41&diff=2314Recruit overview for S412007-04-13T23:16:05Z<p>Blalock: New page: == JB's quick overview== This recruiting class definitely needed a new thread.

<div>Currently the most active of LG5's conferences with 6 to 7 active coaches. Not the best of LG5's conferences historically, but in the future could stand as one of the toughest conferences in the land with some very highly respected coaches manning the majority of this conferences teams. Three time NTT title winners St. Louis reigns supreme in conference 16, but there is plenty of talent waiting to overcome the Masquerader's historical dominance.<br />

<hr />
<div>== '''Early Season All-League:''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Lawerence Kroeker: St. Louis Masqueraders- JR, 6-2 PG – 22.3ppg, 2.6apg, 1.6spg, 54.6%FG, 44.2%3pts <br />
<br />
A very solid all-around star player playing the PG spot. His defense is extremely impressive posting that 1.6spg. Another year of experience will do him some good. His numbers so far don’t look impressive, but that was against extremely difficult competition, which he lead his team through to a 2-1 start. <br />
<br />
<br />
Gerald Boylan: Oakland Redzz- SR, 6-4 SG – 24ppg, 3.6rpg, 1.3apg, 1spg, 58.6%FG, 50%3pts, 101 FTA <br />
<br />
A great scorer who does everything that a team wants out of a pure scorer. His FTA really impress me coming from the SG spot, must be an extremely athletic scorer. May not have the numbers he did last year in terms of ppg because he has a good scoring freshman pg playing with him this year. <br />
<br />
<br />
Danny Brennan: Brunswick Wolves- JR, 6-9 SF – (at PF) 21.1ppg, 5.4rpg, 1.1spg, 23 blocks, 52.3%FG <br />
<br />
The move to SF this year will likely do this very versatile player well. He already is showing signs of playing extremely well at SF shooting 66% and averaging over two steals a game. <br />
<br />
<br />
Austin Soza: Grand Rapids Saboteurs- JR, 6-10 PF – 22.7ppg, 5.8rpg, 1spg, 26 blocks, 57.7% fg, 44.6% 3pts, 80% FT <br />
<br />
So far this year Soza has lived up to his billing as one of the best front court scorers in the league, averaging nearly 29 ppg. His game is very similar to Dirk Nowitizki, a big power forward who can go inside and draw the foul, while also a very good long range shooter. Watch out for him as he is only a JR and has another incredible backcourt mate in sophomore center Leland Gritton who does everything extremely well and complements Soza very well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Grant Allison: Bismarck Yardwork- SR, 6-10 C – 21.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.2spg, 50 blocks, 60.5%FG, 55%3pt <br />
<br />
An absolutely brilliant post scorer, who also plays great D both in terms of blocks and steals. Does not really have the players around him to have a great team, but definitely does his best to carry his team. My early season pick for all-league player of the year. <br />
<br />

<br />
'''Best Pure Point Guards:''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Jeff Morin: Ocala Redemption- SR – 10ppg, 5.5apg, 1.3 spg, 51%3pt: <br />
<br />
<br />
Made everybody on his team look incredible last year; all of the other starter averaged well over 12ppg. Likely to take more of the scoring load this year, which he seems capable of doing. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dale Furham: Baton Rouge Bobbleheads- SR – 13.1ppg, 4.7apg, 1.7spg <br />
<br />
<br />
Edward Myer: Lincoln Pimpzillas- JR - 7.2apg, 1spg, .9TO, 60%FG <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Break-Out Players''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Lloyd Whitworth: Abilene The Mad Cows- SO 6-9 SF – 14.1ppg, 6.0rpg, 1.1spg, 55%FG <br />
<br />
Looking to have a break out year at SF. No longer has two senior stud guards who took up most of the scoring last year. Already averaging 29 a game. <br />
<br />
<br />
Todd Kyser: Dayton Fightin Ags- SR 6-2 SG – 16.5ppg, 1.8apg, 48%FG <br />
<br />
Had to play point guard were nothing went right for him last year. As a freshman he lead the league in scoring at around 26ppg and has a career average of 22.7ppg. This year he has a great true point guard playing next to him, something he has never had and so far he is averaging over 30ppg. <br />
<br />
<br />
Jimmie Dean: Rockford Vikings- SR 6-4 SF- 59%FG, 33/34FT <br />
<br />
First chance to start and Rockford has to replace lots of scoring; already averaging well over 20ppg. <br />
Wendell Lyle: Riverside Fighting Okra- SO 6-6 SG- 12.2ppg, 2.1 apg, 54.2%FG, 44%3pts <br />
Only played 20 minutes a game last year, which limited his numbers and played most of those minutes out of position at PG. He's a pure SG who should produce big this year. <br />
<br />
<br />
Donald Riddles: Ocala Redemption- SO 6-9 SF-13.3ppg, 5.4rpg, 26 blocks, 54.8%FG <br />
<br />
A premier scorer who was held in check last year with lots of senior talent scoring alongside him. If Ocala is going to make one last hurrah run at it, Riddles will probably be doing most of the scoring, getting tons of assists from SR stud PG Jeff Morin. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Frosh Watch''' <br />
<br />
Philip Dittrich: Jersey City Shockers: SG: Could easily be an all-league player as a freshman. Has the skills to be an incredible scorer, averages over 30ppg in his first three games, while also shutting down the opponents best scorer. This guy will be a four year stud. <br />
<br />
<br />
Walter Hunt: Syracuse Minutemen- PG: The guy to fill graduated league scoring champ Kris Bush’s big shoes. Through three games he averaged 25ppg while playing PG for the Minutemen, the same he put up in HS. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ray Nen: Savannah beavers- 6-4 SF: The Beavers are starting three freshmen and Nen stands out as the best scorer of the bunch <br />
<br />
<br />
The Jimmy Schaefer-Phillip Herold Combo: The Abilene Mad Cows-Yikes. My goodness, over 54 ppg in HS, these two are already combining for over 35 points a game while splitting time at SG. This Duo has to terrify opposing defenses, if Abilene ever finds a way to get both these guys on the floor there won’t be enough balls for them to score. <br />
<br />
<br />
Andres Martin: Lubbock Rimrattlers <br />
<br />
<br />
William Stegner: New York City <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The One Man Teams:''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Sean Cannon: Yonkers Scarlet Knights: SR 6-9 PG -20.4ppg, 4.6rpg, 23 blocks, 59.2%FG, 53%3pts <br />
<br />
Yonkers lost three senior starters from last year, yet still Cannon has led his team to a 3-0 start. If Yonkers somehow keeps this up and gets to the NTT, Cannon should have a statue made of him. <br />
<br />
<br />
Sergio Price: Terre-Hautte wiseman22: SO 6-5- 18.1ppg, 2.1apg, 55.5%, 47%3pts, 86%FT <br />
<br />
No one else to score so Sergio has to do it. So far he has carried his team to a 2-1 start while averaging 24 a game and not turning it over once <br />
<br />
<br />
Grant Allison: Bismarck Yardwork- SR, 6-10 C – 21.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.2spg, 50 blocks, 60.5%FG, 55%3pt <br />
<br />
Leading his team to a 3-0 start, single-handedly beat my Dayton team in preseason without anybody else around him. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Point Guard Who Can Light It Up''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Sergio Price: Terre-Hautte wiseman22: SO 6-5- 18.1ppg, 2.1apg, 55.5% FG, 47%3pts, 86%FT <br />
<br />
<br />
Allan Fisher: Jersey City Shockers: SO 6-5- 19ppg, 1.5apg/1TO, 53%FG <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Some of My Favorite Players:''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Raymond Lazenby: Boulder Storm- 6-7 JR PF: 20.2ppg, 5.3rpg, 56.2%FG <br />
<br />
At 6-7 this guy is one of the best low post scorers even though he is undersized. This year he has so far just been insane putting up over 28ppg and 7rpg. In game 4, he put on one of the best performances of any one player this year, scoring 40 and grabbing 11 rebounds. Gotta love the undersized guy who can just flat out play. <br />
<br />
<br />
Leland Gritton: Grand Rapid Saboteurs- 6-11 SO C: 10.7ppg, 7.9rpg, 1.8apg, 1spg, 31 blocks, 52.1%FG, 50%3pts <br />
<br />
This guy would put up absolutely incredible numbers if he did not play along the leagues best PF in Austin Soza. As a freshman Leland filled up the stat sheet, doing everything well and efficiently. One of those guys who does everything you need for a team to win. Its going to fun to watch this guy go off as Senior without Soza. I think he’ll just light it up. I like this guy not only for the type of player he is, but also for his name; I think I’m going to make some sort of All Grit team and with his last name Im gonna have to put him on there. <br />
<br />
<br />
Jeff Morin: Ocala Redemption- SR – 10ppg, 5.5apg, 1.3 spg, 51%3pt: <br />
<br />
Made everybody on his team look incredible last year; all of the other starter averaged well over 12ppg. Likely to take more of the scoring load this year, which he seems capable of doing. This guy is what you talk about when you mean a true PG. The true heart soul of an aging Ocala team. I really think he gives them a shot to be title contenders and by the end of the year, even with his scoring aside he could be my All-League PG. A few incredible stats through four games: 65%FG, 3.2spg!, 7.0apg, 7/1 A/TO, 9/14 3pts... Already some outstanding totals and has lead his team to a 4-0 start to boot. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Early Season High School McDonald’s All-American Team S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
PG: Jon Price- 6-2 College Station, Texas- Jon has all the skills to perform exceptionally at the next level; right now he is carrying his HS team, scoring 26 points a game while still keeping 2/1 A/TO ratio. Look for him to turn into an incredible all-around point at the next level; although his defense isn’t exceptional, he has the athleticism to stay with and disrupt any teams opposing point guard as shown by his 1.7spg.<br />
Early Estimate: EGGFGE= +7<br />
<br />
<br />
SG: Jeffery Harrison- 6-5 Tuscon, Arizona- Jeffery has a tattoo across his back reading “Born to Score”. That is all you really need to know about this guy, 28.8ppg in HS. If he is put on a team that lets this guy just take the rock and score it, he could set all sorts of scoring records. His excellent shooting ability plus his Tracy McGrady like athleticism makes him one of the most exciting/terrifying players to watch depending on which side you’re on. Combine all that with the fact that he pulled a 4.0 in HS means that he’ll know that if he wants to win all he has to do is call for the ball and take it the hole or just shoot a three. I hope this guy lands on a team that’ll just let him rip because he’ll be exciting to watch. I would love to hear who is after this guy.<br />
Early Estimate: EFFGEE= +7<br />
<br />
<br />
SF: Matthew Deleon- 6-9 Canton, Ohio- Deleon is an all-around star for his 9-1 HS team. He’ll be able to do it all at the SF spot, but could easily be move to the low post with his good to excellent rebounding skills. Matthew is quite the defender as he is averaging 2 steals per a game and will be a lock down guy at the next level. His only concern is his relative lack of hands, but his all-around skills make him one of the top players in the country. <br />
Early Estimate: GEPEFE=+7/-1<br />
<br />
<br />
PF: Sandy Adams- 6-10 Bakersfield, Unknown- Like Harrison, Adams also has a tattoo across his back, but his reads “King of the Lane”. One of the more disgusting statistics I have ever seen is his ridiculous 3.5 blocks per a game, that’s close to a 100 blocks in a season, yikes. Probably the best pure defender in this class, he’s also a good rebounder.<br />
Early Estimate: FEGEGE= maybe a little high end but still very possible +8<br />
<br />
<br />
C: Bruce Dunn- 7-1 Toledo, Ohio- The #1 recruit in the country, this guy is probably also one of the best all-around players in the country. He dominates every aspect of the Center position posting great statistics in every category. He’ll be an incredible team player and immediately makes whoever gets this guy a likely contender.<br />
Early Estimate: GEEGGG= +8, something around that<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Early Season Team Assesments S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Early Season Favorites:'''<br />
<br />
'''Grand Rapid Saboteurs'''- Last years runner up lost two starters but returned the two guys that matter most, Leland Gritton and Austin Soza. If your talking about the best big men combos in the league you talking about these two 6-11 monsters. The key for Grand Rapids is to get their two new starters to throw the ball down low and play some good D. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Portland Sharks'''- The talent is there but can they put it together. A very deep team that does not at all rely on one player for its scoring and can play some great D; they can bring a couple players off the bench who can score. Will be tough to stop because of there depth, but its going to be interesting who will step up for them when it comes to crunch time. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Atlantic City Mad Koalas'''- The Back to Back defending LG5 NTT Champs return this year looking to make it three in a row. AC has lots of experience when it comes to big game experience and will undoubtably feed off that come crunch time. The keys for the Koalas this year will be replacing two seniors from last years squad with two Freshman; meanwhile I'm sure their deep bench will also likely play a role in making up for that scoring. AC also will face two very difficult tests in season in LG 5 biggest Rivalry with Pitt. Those games will be huge as both teams are legitimate NTT contenders <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Ocala Redemption''' <br />
<br />
The franchise is dying with consecutive crummy classes, and lost a pair of studs to graduation, but a top-10 senior class still has the talent to "get it done". They busted up Riverside in game 2, and should easily get a high seed thanks to the lack of competition in Conf10. They have no depth, but they have the leaders to make noise in the big dance. One last hurrah for the Redemption? <br />
<br />
'''Lincoln Pimpzillas''' <br />
<br />
An Elite 8 team last season, Lincoln has already replaced their duo of drafted big men. The junior class runs this team now, as 6'11" Thad Osborne provides the muscle and PG Ed Meyer and SF James Valenzuela provide the offense. Meyer is a fantastic "breakout player" option; he dished 7apg while shooting 60% last season, and will get to use his net-ripping abilities more often this season. The team has every role filled, and should be able to match up with any NTT opponent. <br />
<br />
'''Someone from Conference 1''' <br />
<br />
This was initial going to be reserved for Final Four squad Buffalo, but I couldn't find a reason to guarantee they'd survive their brutal conference schedule. Expect three or four teams to make the big dance, and one of them will definitely make some noise. Leading candidates are steady and team-oriented Buffalo, undersized-but-explosive Brunswick, senior-driven Hershey, and the young perimeter assault of Jersey City. Youth-driven Allentown could also contend, if they manage to earn a bid to the dance. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Atlantic City/Pittsburgh''' <br />
<br />
The most publicized rivalry in the league probably doesn't need press from me, but they certainly deserve to be noticed for their consistent success against top-level teams. Tonight's face-off is a MUST-SEE for anyone who wants to succeed in the NTT - one of these teams will be in the Elite 8.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Unorthodox Teams:''' <br />
<br />
'''Toledo Tumbleweeds''': From SG to Center the Tumbleweeds play four 6-7 guys. Headlining this team is its three Sophomores that composed 1/2 class last year. Playing the undersized center is David Devine who had a great year at SF last year as a freshman. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Best Young Teams:''' <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Abilene The Mad Cows''': Headlined by back to back top ten classes Abilene has a bunch of underclassmen studs. Lloyd Whitworth, Philip Herold, and Jimmy Schaefer are all star caliber players capable of averaging well over 20 points a game; look for this team in a year or two to make a deep run when their freshman guards get some experience and playing time. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Baltimore Mice:''' The Mice have two Freshman starters and two Sophmores starting as well. SO SF Hal Riffe and FR SG Chang Collier will be a deadly duo over the next 3 years. Their 2/4 ranked freshman class will be looking to gain control of a strong North division in Conference 4, and maybe in the coming seasons take home that NTT title. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Boise Apocalypse:''' Three Freshman starters on a team with two very strong freshman and sophomore classes. Give this team two years and another good class or two and these guys will be big time competitors. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jersey City Shockers''': Allan Fisher and Phillip Dittrich make up the best young backcourt in the league. Watch these guys as they mature, they both can light it up. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''My Top Five Through the First 6 Games:'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''#1: Pittsburgh Blazing Burros:''' Two big time wins already this year against St. Louis and Atlantic City both 5-1 teams who are possible title contender plus another solid win against Odessa who is 4-2. This Pitt team may not be the most talented of Valdez’s teams but so far their results have been very impressive, if they can beat Atlantic City one more time in their more than likely two match-ups to come, they will probably in my mind guarantee themselves a one seed. A team that relies on defense and all-around team play, right now has the most impressive résumé. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#2. Lincoln Pimpzillas:''' Another very talented team that is 6-0 and has been absolutely unchallenged so far this season. Their average margin of victory through six games has been 31 points. This team is lead by some great upper classmen, with four of them in the starting line-up with JR SF James Valenzuela leading the way. Their unchallenged season so far ends in their next game against a 6-0 Roswell club. I expect to see this experienced and very talented team in the Final Four this year, but we’ll see. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#3. Portland Sharks:''' The most talented team in LG5 in terms of class rankings have so far compiled a 6-0 record against decent opponents. So far they have handed a decent Riverside team a 40 point loss and beaten a 4-2 San Jose team. Their next game against Shawnee will likely point the direction of this team’s destiny and show us if they can really live up to their obvious talent. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#4. Tuscon Court Jesters:''' These guys know how to win the close games against the tough teams. They have already put together a one point win against Baton Rouge and two point win against Charlotte, both teams being 5-1 and ranked in the top 40 and last year were ranked in the top 20. This team is lead by their three starting Juniors who composed a 2/1 ranked class and a solid bench with lots of height lead by SR 6-10 bSF Tony Cobb who is avg 8 points in 12 minutes played. After many years of plus 15 wins this team is trying to finally break that 20 win barrier. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#5. Ocala Redemption:''' So far this upper class laden team has played five decent 3-3 teams and the closest any of those teams came was 16 points. This team, lead by some great seniors, has proven through the first 6 games and the preseason games that they still have what it takes to make a push in the NTT. With a relatively easy regular season schedule remaining, look for this team to be undefeated and carrying a one seed into the NTT. If their back-ups can holds up and nobody gets hurt in their starting line-up we could see them in the final four<br />

== Recap of Best of LG5 S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Early Season All League''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Lawrence Kroeker, St Louis: "Only" third-team all-league, but considering his slow start and NTT Finals appearance, I think he's proven himself a top-shelf guard. <br />
<br />
23.3ppg (52.5%), 28/54 3pts, 70/100 FTs, 2.0apg, 1.7spg, 0.9TOpg <br />
<br />
<br />
Gerald Boylan, Oakland: Stats suffered as he never adjusted to the graduation of his backcourt mate from a season ago; frosh Matt Burton wasn't able to keep him in a rhythm. <br />
<br />
19.0ppg (52.0%), 36/84 3pts, 64/80 FTs, 2.0apg <br />
<br />
<br />
Danny Brennan, Brunswick: Easy choice for defensive player of the year, and pumped in some efficient offense as well. Did everything he could for his team, who desperately needs a C (and now, a new PG). <br />
<br />
18.2ppg (57.3%), 5.1rpg, 2.0spg, 43 blocks <br />
<br />
<br />
Austin Soza, Grand Rapids: #3 in scoring for lg5 this season, and led his team to a Sweet 16 appearance. Still has another season of eligibility to terrorize the league. <br />
<br />
27.1ppg (56.8%), 50/109 3pts, 7.4rpg, 1.3spg <br />
<br />
<br />
Grant Allison, Bismarck: It's a real shame when an All-League caliber player gets injured and his coach isn't around to send him to the trainers. What a waste. <br />
<br />
Was on pace for 21.8ppg, 9.7rpg, 1.8spg, 46blks and 100 FTAs <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Break-Out Players''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Lloyd Whitworth, Abilene: Despite featuring a #1/#2 freshman class, Abilene had no problems giving Lloyd an extended workload on offense. An impressive talent, and dominant SF. <br />
<br />
24.5ppg (52.6%), 36/86 3pts, 78/95 FTs, 1.4spg, 30 blks <br />
<br />
<br />
Todd Kyser, Dayton: Senior star for a surprise Top-25 team (#106 a year ago) that's gone 3-2 in the NTT. Great statistics, and always showed up for big games. <br />
<br />
25.6ppg (55.7%), 64/134 3pts, 77/103 FTs, 1.7apg <br />
<br />
<br />
Jimmie Dean, Rockford: A reserve last season, Jimmie turned heads with his explosive play as a SG and an undersized SF. One of only two noteworthy players on a team that probably shouldn't have made the NTT but did. <br />
<br />
22.0ppg (53.7%), 37/80 3pts, 75/97 FTs <br />
<br />
<br />
Wendell Lyle, Riverside: Didn't quite achieve as expected with the move to SG; struggled to complete the open passes, and criticized for lack of effort on defense. Very accurate shooter, though. <br />
<br />
16.6ppg (58.5%), 34/67 3pts, 2.7apg <br />
<br />
<br />
Donald Riddles, Ocala: Surrounded by a talented, support-styled senior class, this shoot-first SF had the ideal set-up this season. Expect a return to mediocrity next season. <br />
<br />
19.9ppg (50.0%), 4.9rpg, 27 blocks <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Blalock picked Philip Dittrich of Jersey City as a challenger for League POY. While Phil didn't quite rack up All-League Team numbers, he was a fairly easy choice for League FOY. Good pick, Blalock! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Blalock's "Favorites"''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Raymond Lazenby, Boulder: <br />
<br />
Raymond will haunt my thoughts for the next ~36 hours, and then likely proceed to tear apart my otherwise-solid St Louis defense. An incredible, incredible undersized frontcourt scorer who can change the momentum of any game with a long-range swish or a thunderous two-handed dunk. <br />
<br />
21.7ppg (56.9%), 40/81 3pts, 74/92 FTs, 6.3rpg <br />
<br />
<br />
Leland Gritton, Grand Rapids: <br />
<br />
His shooting was a bit of a disappointment after hitting 52% as a freshman; combine that with his low assists, and he was a bit of a black hole considering the higher effectiveness of his teammates Dougherty and Soza. Still, a steady 14/9 performer with elite defense is nothing to be scoffed at, especially when he's adapted his game to the 3pt attack that's developing in Grand Rapids. <br />
<br />
14.3ppg (48.2%), 8.7rpg, 33/62 3pts, 1.0spg, 41 blks <br />
<br />
<br />
Jeff Morin, Ocala: <br />
<br />
It was a disappointing season for Jeff; while he worked effectively with classmate Tracey Barker and helped sophomore Don Riddles reach his potential, his own numbers suffered in comparison with last season (when the team was deeper, with more offensive weapons). Combine that with the Round 2 exit from the NTT, and it's fair to say that Jeff won't be going to Disney World this off-season. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Lawerence Kroeker: St. Louis Masqueraders- JR, 6-2 PG – 22.3ppg, 2.6apg, 1.6spg, 54.6%FG, 44.2%3pts <br />
<br />
A very solid all-around star player playing the PG spot. His defense is extremely impressive posting that 1.6spg. Another year of experience will do him some good. His numbers so far don’t look impressive, but that was against extremely difficult competition, which he lead his team through to a 2-1 start. <br />
<br />
Gerald Boylan: Oakland Redzz- SR, 6-4 SG – 24ppg, 3.6rpg, 1.3apg, 1spg, 58.6%FG, 50%3pts, 101 FTA <br />

A great scorer who does everything that a team wants out of a pure scorer. His FTA really impress me coming from the SG spot, must be an extremely athletic scorer. May not have the numbers he did last year in terms of ppg because he has a good scoring freshman pg playing with him this year. <br />
<br />
Danny Brennan: Brunswick Wolves- JR, 6-9 SF – (at PF) 21.1ppg, 5.4rpg, 1.1spg, 23 blocks, 52.3%FG <br />
<br />
The move to SF this year will likely do this very versatile player well. He already is showing signs of playing extremely well at SF shooting 66% and averaging over two steals a game. <br />
<br />
Austin Soza: Grand Rapids Saboteurs- JR, 6-10 PF – 22.7ppg, 5.8rpg, 1spg, 26 blocks, 57.7% fg, 44.6% 3pts, 80% FT <br />
<br />
So far this year Soza has lived up to his billing as one of the best front court scorers in the league, averaging nearly 29 ppg. His game is very similar to Dirk Nowitizki, a big power forward who can go inside and draw the foul, while also a very good long range shooter. Watch out for him as he is only a JR and has another incredible backcourt mate in sophomore center Leland Gritton who does everything extremely well and complements Soza very well. <br />
<br />
Grant Allison: Bismarck Yardwork- SR, 6-10 C – 21.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.2spg, 50 blocks, 60.5%FG, 55%3pt <br />
<br />
An absolutely brilliant post scorer, who also plays great D both in terms of blocks and steals. Does not really have the players around him to have a great team, but definitely does his best to carry his team. My early season pick for all-league player of the year. <br />
<br />

<br />
'''Best Pure Point Guards:''' <br />
<br />
Jeff Morin: Ocala Redemption- SR – 10ppg, 5.5apg, 1.3 spg, 51%3pt: <br />
<br />
Made everybody on his team look incredible last year; all of the other starter averaged well over 12ppg. Likely to take more of the scoring load this year, which he seems capable of doing. <br />
<br />
Dale Furham: Baton Rouge Bobbleheads- SR – 13.1ppg, 4.7apg, 1.7spg <br />
<br />
Edward Myer: Lincoln Pimpzillas- JR - 7.2apg, 1spg, .9TO, 60%FG <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Break-Out Players''' <br />
<br />
Lloyd Whitworth: Abilene The Mad Cows- SO 6-9 SF – 14.1ppg, 6.0rpg, 1.1spg, 55%FG <br />
<br />
Looking to have a break out year at SF. No longer has two senior stud guards who took up most of the scoring last year. Already averaging 29 a game. <br />
<br />
Todd Kyser: Dayton Fightin Ags- SR 6-2 SG – 16.5ppg, 1.8apg, 48%FG <br />
<br />
Had to play point guard were nothing went right for him last year. As a freshman he lead the league in scoring at around 26ppg and has a career average of 22.7ppg. This year he has a great true point guard playing next to him, something he has never had and so far he is averaging over 30ppg. <br />
<br />
Jimmie Dean: Rockford Vikings- SR 6-4 SF- 59%FG, 33/34FT <br />
<br />
First chance to start and Rockford has to replace lots of scoring; already averaging well over 20ppg. <br />
Wendell Lyle: Riverside Fighting Okra- SO 6-6 SG- 12.2ppg, 2.1 apg, 54.2%FG, 44%3pts <br />
Only played 20 minutes a game last year, which limited his numbers and played most of those minutes out of position at PG. He's a pure SG who should produce big this year. <br />
<br />
Donald Riddles: Ocala Redemption- SO 6-9 SF-13.3ppg, 5.4rpg, 26 blocks, 54.8%FG <br />
<br />
A premier scorer who was held in check last year with lots of senior talent scoring alongside him. If Ocala is going to make one last hurrah run at it, Riddles will probably be doing most of the scoring, getting tons of assists from SR stud PG Jeff Morin. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Frosh Watch''' <br />
Philip Dittrich: Jersey City Shockers: SG: Could easily be an all-league player as a freshman. Has the skills to be an incredible scorer, averages over 30ppg in his first three games, while also shutting down the opponents best scorer. This guy will be a four year stud. <br />
<br />
Walter Hunt: Syracuse Minutemen- PG: The guy to fill graduated league scoring champ Kris Bush’s big shoes. Through three games he averaged 25ppg while playing PG for the Minutemen, the same he put up in HS. <br />
<br />
Ray Nen: Savannah beavers- 6-4 SF: The Beavers are starting three freshmen and Nen stands out as the best scorer of the bunch <br />
<br />
The Jimmy Schaefer-Phillip Herold Combo: The Abilene Mad Cows-Yikes. My goodness, over 54 ppg in HS, these two are already combining for over 35 points a game while splitting time at SG. This Duo has to terrify opposing defenses, if Abilene ever finds a way to get both these guys on the floor there won’t be enough balls for them to score. <br />
<br />
Andres Martin: Lubbock Rimrattlers <br />
<br />
William Stegner: New York City <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The One Man Teams:''' <br />
<br />
Sean Cannon: Yonkers Scarlet Knights: SR 6-9 PG -20.4ppg, 4.6rpg, 23 blocks, 59.2%FG, 53%3pts <br />
<br />
Yonkers lost three senior starters from last year, yet still Cannon has led his team to a 3-0 start. If Yonkers somehow keeps this up and gets to the NTT, Cannon should have a statue made of him. <br />
<br />
Sergio Price: Terre-Hautte wiseman22: SO 6-5- 18.1ppg, 2.1apg, 55.5%, 47%3pts, 86%FT <br />
<br />
No one else to score so Sergio has to do it. So far he has carried his team to a 2-1 start while averaging 24 a game and not turning it over once <br />
<br />
Grant Allison: Bismarck Yardwork- SR, 6-10 C – 21.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.2spg, 50 blocks, 60.5%FG, 55%3pt <br />
<br />
Leading his team to a 3-0 start, single-handedly beat my Dayton team in preseason without anybody else around him. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Point Guard Who Can Light It Up''' <br />
<br />
Sergio Price: Terre-Hautte wiseman22: SO 6-5- 18.1ppg, 2.1apg, 55.5% FG, 47%3pts, 86%FT <br />
<br />
Allan Fisher: Jersey City Shockers: SO 6-5- 19ppg, 1.5apg/1TO, 53%FG <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Some of My Favorite Players:''' <br />
<br />
Raymond Lazenby: Boulder Storm- 6-7 JR PF: 20.2ppg, 5.3rpg, 56.2%FG <br />
<br />
At 6-7 this guy is one of the best low post scorers even though he is undersized. This year he has so far just been insane putting up over 28ppg and 7rpg. In game 4, he put on one of the best performances of any one player this year, scoring 40 and grabbing 11 rebounds. Gotta love the undersized guy who can just flat out play. <br />
<br />
Leland Gritton: Grand Rapid Saboteurs- 6-11 SO C: 10.7ppg, 7.9rpg, 1.8apg, 1spg, 31 blocks, 52.1%FG, 50%3pts <br />
<br />
This guy would put up absolutely incredible numbers if he did not play along the leagues best PF in Austin Soza. As a freshman Leland filled up the stat sheet, doing everything well and efficiently. One of those guys who does everything you need for a team to win. Its going to fun to watch this guy go off as Senior without Soza. I think he’ll just light it up. I like this guy not only for the type of player he is, but also for his name; I think I’m going to make some sort of All Grit team and with his last name Im gonna have to put him on there. <br />
<br />
Jeff Morin: Ocala Redemption- SR – 10ppg, 5.5apg, 1.3 spg, 51%3pt: <br />
<br />
Made everybody on his team look incredible last year; all of the other starter averaged well over 12ppg. Likely to take more of the scoring load this year, which he seems capable of doing. This guy is what you talk about when you mean a true PG. The true heart soul of an aging Ocala team. I really think he gives them a shot to be title contenders and by the end of the year, even with his scoring aside he could be my All-League PG. A few incredible stats through four games: 65%FG, 3.2spg!, 7.0apg, 7/1 A/TO, 9/14 3pts... Already some outstanding totals and has lead his team to a 4-0 start to boot. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Early Season High School McDonald’s All-American Team S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
PG: Jon Price- 6-2 College Station, Texas- Jon has all the skills to perform exceptionally at the next level; right now he is carrying his HS team, scoring 26 points a game while still keeping 2/1 A/TO ratio. Look for him to turn into an incredible all-around point at the next level; although his defense isn’t exceptional, he has the athleticism to stay with and disrupt any teams opposing point guard as shown by his 1.7spg.<br />
Early Estimate: EGGFGE= +7<br />
<br />
SG: Jeffery Harrison- 6-5 Tuscon, Arizona- Jeffery has a tattoo across his back reading “Born to Score”. That is all you really need to know about this guy, 28.8ppg in HS. If he is put on a team that lets this guy just take the rock and score it, he could set all sorts of scoring records. His excellent shooting ability plus his Tracy McGrady like athleticism makes him one of the most exciting/terrifying players to watch depending on which side you’re on. Combine all that with the fact that he pulled a 4.0 in HS means that he’ll know that if he wants to win all he has to do is call for the ball and take it the hole or just shoot a three. I hope this guy lands on a team that’ll just let him rip because he’ll be exciting to watch. I would love to hear who is after this guy.<br />
Early Estimate: EFFGEE= +7<br />
<br />
SF: Matthew Deleon- 6-9 Canton, Ohio- Deleon is an all-around star for his 9-1 HS team. He’ll be able to do it all at the SF spot, but could easily be move to the low post with his good to excellent rebounding skills. Matthew is quite the defender as he is averaging 2 steals per a game and will be a lock down guy at the next level. His only concern is his relative lack of hands, but his all-around skills make him one of the top players in the country. <br />
Early Estimate: GEPEFE=+7/-1<br />
<br />
PF: Sandy Adams- 6-10 Bakersfield, Unknown- Like Harrison, Adams also has a tattoo across his back, but his reads “King of the Lane”. One of the more disgusting statistics I have ever seen is his ridiculous 3.5 blocks per a game, that’s close to a 100 blocks in a season, yikes. Probably the best pure defender in this class, he’s also a good rebounder.<br />
Early Estimate: FEGEGE= maybe a little high end but still very possible +8<br />
<br />
C: Bruce Dunn- 7-1 Toledo, Ohio- The #1 recruit in the country, this guy is probably also one of the best all-around players in the country. He dominates every aspect of the Center position posting great statistics in every category. He’ll be an incredible team player and immediately makes whoever gets this guy a likely contender.<br />
Early Estimate: GEEGGG= +8, something around that<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Early Season Team Assesments S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Early Season Favorites:'''<br />
<br />
Grand Rapid Saboteurs- Last years runner up lost two starters but returned the two guys that matter most, Leland Gritton and Austin Soza. If your talking about the best big men combos in the league you talking about these two 6-11 monsters. The key for Grand Rapids is to get their two new starters to throw the ball down low and play some good D. <br />
<br />
Portland Sharks- The talent is there but can they put it together. A very deep team that does not at all rely on one player for its scoring and can play some great D; they can bring a couple players off the bench who can score. Will be tough to stop because of there depth, but its going to be interesting who will step up for them when it comes to crunch time. <br />
<br />
Atlantic City Mad Koalas- The Back to Back defending LG5 NTT Champs return this year looking to make it three in a row. AC has lots of experience when it comes to big game experience and will undoubtably feed off that come crunch time. The keys for the Koalas this year will be replacing two seniors from last years squad with two Freshman; meanwhile I'm sure their deep bench will also likely play a role in making up for that scoring. AC also will face two very difficult tests in season in LG 5 biggest Rivalry with Pitt. Those games will be huge as both teams are legitimate NTT contenders <br />
<br />
<br />
Ocala Redemption <br />
The franchise is dying with consecutive crummy classes, and lost a pair of studs to graduation, but a top-10 senior class still has the talent to "get it done". They busted up Riverside in game 2, and should easily get a high seed thanks to the lack of competition in Conf10. They have no depth, but they have the leaders to make noise in the big dance. One last hurrah for the Redemption? <br />
<br />
Lincoln Pimpzillas <br />
An Elite 8 team last season, Lincoln has already replaced their duo of drafted big men. The junior class runs this team now, as 6'11" Thad Osborne provides the muscle and PG Ed Meyer and SF James Valenzuela provide the offense. Meyer is a fantastic "breakout player" option; he dished 7apg while shooting 60% last season, and will get to use his net-ripping abilities more often this season. The team has every role filled, and should be able to match up with any NTT opponent. <br />
<br />
Someone from Conference 1 <br />
This was initial going to be reserved for Final Four squad Buffalo, but I couldn't find a reason to guarantee they'd survive their brutal conference schedule. Expect three or four teams to make the big dance, and one of them will definitely make some noise. Leading candidates are steady and team-oriented Buffalo, undersized-but-explosive Brunswick, senior-driven Hershey, and the young perimeter assault of Jersey City. Youth-driven Allentown could also contend, if they manage to earn a bid to the dance. <br />
<br />
Atlantic City/Pittsburgh <br />
The most publicized rivalry in the league probably doesn't need press from me, but they certainly deserve to be noticed for their consistent success against top-level teams. Tonight's face-off is a MUST-SEE for anyone who wants to succeed in the NTT - one of these teams will be in the Elite 8.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Unorthodox Teams:''' <br />
<br />
Toledo Tumbleweeds: From SG to Center the Tumbleweeds play four 6-7 guys. Headlining this team is its three Sophomores that composed 1/2 class last year. Playing the undersized center is David Devine who had a great year at SF last year as a freshman. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Best Young Teams:''' <br />
<br />
Abilene The Mad Cows: Headlined by back to back top ten classes Abilene has a bunch of underclassmen studs. Lloyd Whitworth, Philip Herold, and Jimmy Schaefer are all star caliber players capable of averaging well over 20 points a game; look for this team in a year or two to make a deep run when their freshman guards get some experience and playing time. <br />
<br />
Baltimore Mice: The Mice have two Freshman starters and two Sophmores starting as well. SO SF Hal Riffe and FR SG Chang Collier will be a deadly duo over the next 3 years. Their 2/4 ranked freshman class will be looking to gain control of a strong North division in Conference 4, and maybe in the coming seasons take home that NTT title. <br />
<br />
Boise Apocalypse: Three Freshman starters on a team with two very strong freshman and sophomore classes. Give this team two years and another good class or two and these guys will be big time competitors. <br />
<br />
Jersey City Shockers: Allan Fisher and Phillip Dittrich make up the best young backcourt in the league. Watch these guys as they mature, they both can light it up. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''My Top Five Through the First 6 Games:'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''#1: Pittsburgh Blazing Burros:''' Two big time wins already this year against St. Louis and Atlantic City both 5-1 teams who are possible title contender plus another solid win against Odessa who is 4-2. This Pitt team may not be the most talented of Valdez’s teams but so far their results have been very impressive, if they can beat Atlantic City one more time in their more than likely two match-ups to come, they will probably in my mind guarantee themselves a one seed. A team that relies on defense and all-around team play, right now has the most impressive résumé. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#2. Lincoln Pimpzillas:''' Another very talented team that is 6-0 and has been absolutely unchallenged so far this season. Their average margin of victory through six games has been 31 points. This team is lead by some great upper classmen, with four of them in the starting line-up with JR SF James Valenzuela leading the way. Their unchallenged season so far ends in their next game against a 6-0 Roswell club. I expect to see this experienced and very talented team in the Final Four this year, but we’ll see. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#3. Portland Sharks:''' The most talented team in LG5 in terms of class rankings have so far compiled a 6-0 record against decent opponents. So far they have handed a decent Riverside team a 40 point loss and beaten a 4-2 San Jose team. Their next game against Shawnee will likely point the direction of this team’s destiny and show us if they can really live up to their obvious talent. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#4. Tuscon Court Jesters:''' These guys know how to win the close games against the tough teams. They have already put together a one point win against Baton Rouge and two point win against Charlotte, both teams being 5-1 and ranked in the top 40 and last year were ranked in the top 20. This team is lead by their three starting Juniors who composed a 2/1 ranked class and a solid bench with lots of height lead by SR 6-10 bSF Tony Cobb who is avg 8 points in 12 minutes played. After many years of plus 15 wins this team is trying to finally break that 20 win barrier. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#5. Ocala Redemption:''' So far this upper class laden team has played five decent 3-3 teams and the closest any of those teams came was 16 points. This team, lead by some great seniors, has proven through the first 6 games and the preseason games that they still have what it takes to make a push in the NTT. With a relatively easy regular season schedule remaining, look for this team to be undefeated and carrying a one seed into the NTT. If their back-ups can holds up and nobody gets hurt in their starting line-up we could see them in the final four<br />

== Recap of Best of LG5 S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Early Season All League''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Lawrence Kroeker, St Louis: "Only" third-team all-league, but considering his slow start and NTT Finals appearance, I think he's proven himself a top-shelf guard. <br />
<br />
23.3ppg (52.5%), 28/54 3pts, 70/100 FTs, 2.0apg, 1.7spg, 0.9TOpg <br />
<br />
<br />
Gerald Boylan, Oakland: Stats suffered as he never adjusted to the graduation of his backcourt mate from a season ago; frosh Matt Burton wasn't able to keep him in a rhythm. <br />
<br />
19.0ppg (52.0%), 36/84 3pts, 64/80 FTs, 2.0apg <br />
<br />
<br />
Danny Brennan, Brunswick: Easy choice for defensive player of the year, and pumped in some efficient offense as well. Did everything he could for his team, who desperately needs a C (and now, a new PG). <br />
<br />
18.2ppg (57.3%), 5.1rpg, 2.0spg, 43 blocks <br />
<br />
<br />
Austin Soza, Grand Rapids: #3 in scoring for lg5 this season, and led his team to a Sweet 16 appearance. Still has another season of eligibility to terrorize the league. <br />
<br />
27.1ppg (56.8%), 50/109 3pts, 7.4rpg, 1.3spg <br />
<br />
<br />
Grant Allison, Bismarck: It's a real shame when an All-League caliber player gets injured and his coach isn't around to send him to the trainers. What a waste. <br />
<br />
Was on pace for 21.8ppg, 9.7rpg, 1.8spg, 46blks and 100 FTAs <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Break-Out Players''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Lloyd Whitworth, Abilene: Despite featuring a #1/#2 freshman class, Abilene had no problems giving Lloyd an extended workload on offense. An impressive talent, and dominant SF. <br />
<br />
24.5ppg (52.6%), 36/86 3pts, 78/95 FTs, 1.4spg, 30 blks <br />
<br />
<br />
Todd Kyser, Dayton: Senior star for a surprise Top-25 team (#106 a year ago) that's gone 3-2 in the NTT. Great statistics, and always showed up for big games. <br />
<br />
25.6ppg (55.7%), 64/134 3pts, 77/103 FTs, 1.7apg <br />
<br />
<br />
Jimmie Dean, Rockford: A reserve last season, Jimmie turned heads with his explosive play as a SG and an undersized SF. One of only two noteworthy players on a team that probably shouldn't have made the NTT but did. <br />
<br />
22.0ppg (53.7%), 37/80 3pts, 75/97 FTs <br />
<br />
<br />
Wendell Lyle, Riverside: Didn't quite achieve as expected with the move to SG; struggled to complete the open passes, and criticized for lack of effort on defense. Very accurate shooter, though. <br />
<br />
16.6ppg (58.5%), 34/67 3pts, 2.7apg <br />
<br />
<br />
Donald Riddles, Ocala: Surrounded by a talented, support-styled senior class, this shoot-first SF had the ideal set-up this season. Expect a return to mediocrity next season. <br />
<br />
19.9ppg (50.0%), 4.9rpg, 27 blocks <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Blalock picked Philip Dittrich of Jersey City as a challenger for League POY. While Phil didn't quite rack up All-League Team numbers, he was a fairly easy choice for League FOY. Good pick, Blalock! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Blalock's "Favorites"''' <br />
<br />
<br />
Raymond Lazenby, Boulder: <br />
<br />
Raymond will haunt my thoughts for the next ~36 hours, and then likely proceed to tear apart my otherwise-solid St Louis defense. An incredible, incredible undersized frontcourt scorer who can change the momentum of any game with a long-range swish or a thunderous two-handed dunk. <br />
<br />
21.7ppg (56.9%), 40/81 3pts, 74/92 FTs, 6.3rpg <br />
<br />
<br />
Leland Gritton, Grand Rapids: <br />
<br />
His shooting was a bit of a disappointment after hitting 52% as a freshman; combine that with his low assists, and he was a bit of a black hole considering the higher effectiveness of his teammates Dougherty and Soza. Still, a steady 14/9 performer with elite defense is nothing to be scoffed at, especially when he's adapted his game to the 3pt attack that's developing in Grand Rapids. <br />
<br />
14.3ppg (48.2%), 8.7rpg, 33/62 3pts, 1.0spg, 41 blks <br />
<br />
<br />
Jeff Morin, Ocala: <br />
<br />
It was a disappointing season for Jeff; while he worked effectively with classmate Tracey Barker and helped sophomore Don Riddles reach his potential, his own numbers suffered in comparison with last season (when the team was deeper, with more offensive weapons). Combine that with the Round 2 exit from the NTT, and it's fair to say that Jeff won't be going to Disney World this off-season. <br />
<br />

<div>== '''Early Season All-League:''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Lawerence Kroeker: St. Louis Masqueraders- JR, 6-2 PG – 22.3ppg, 2.6apg, 1.6spg, 54.6%FG, 44.2%3pts <br />
<br />
A very solid all-around star player playing the PG spot. His defense is extremely impressive posting that 1.6spg. Another year of experience will do him some good. His numbers so far don’t look impressive, but that was against extremely difficult competition, which he lead his team through to a 2-1 start. <br />
<br />
Gerald Boylan: Oakland Redzz- SR, 6-4 SG – 24ppg, 3.6rpg, 1.3apg, 1spg, 58.6%FG, 50%3pts, 101 FTA <br />
<br />
A great scorer who does everything that a team wants out of a pure scorer. His FTA really impress me coming from the SG spot, must be an extremely athletic scorer. May not have the numbers he did last year in terms of ppg because he has a good scoring freshman pg playing with him this year. <br />
<br />
Danny Brennan: Brunswick Wolves- JR, 6-9 SF – (at PF) 21.1ppg, 5.4rpg, 1.1spg, 23 blocks, 52.3%FG <br />
<br />
The move to SF this year will likely do this very versatile player well. He already is showing signs of playing extremely well at SF shooting 66% and averaging over two steals a game. <br />
<br />
Austin Soza: Grand Rapids Saboteurs- JR, 6-10 PF – 22.7ppg, 5.8rpg, 1spg, 26 blocks, 57.7% fg, 44.6% 3pts, 80% FT <br />
<br />
So far this year Soza has lived up to his billing as one of the best front court scorers in the league, averaging nearly 29 ppg. His game is very similar to Dirk Nowitizki, a big power forward who can go inside and draw the foul, while also a very good long range shooter. Watch out for him as he is only a JR and has another incredible backcourt mate in sophomore center Leland Gritton who does everything extremely well and complements Soza very well. <br />
<br />
Grant Allison: Bismarck Yardwork- SR, 6-10 C – 21.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.2spg, 50 blocks, 60.5%FG, 55%3pt <br />
<br />
An absolutely brilliant post scorer, who also plays great D both in terms of blocks and steals. Does not really have the players around him to have a great team, but definitely does his best to carry his team. My early season pick for all-league player of the year. <br />

'''Best Pure Point Guards:''' <br />
<br />
Jeff Morin: Ocala Redemption- SR – 10ppg, 5.5apg, 1.3 spg, 51%3pt: <br />
<br />
Made everybody on his team look incredible last year; all of the other starter averaged well over 12ppg. Likely to take more of the scoring load this year, which he seems capable of doing. <br />
<br />
Dale Furham: Baton Rouge Bobbleheads- SR – 13.1ppg, 4.7apg, 1.7spg <br />
<br />
Edward Myer: Lincoln Pimpzillas- JR - 7.2apg, 1spg, .9TO, 60%FG <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Break-Out Players''' <br />
<br />
Lloyd Whitworth: Abilene The Mad Cows- SO 6-9 SF – 14.1ppg, 6.0rpg, 1.1spg, 55%FG <br />
<br />
Looking to have a break out year at SF. No longer has two senior stud guards who took up most of the scoring last year. Already averaging 29 a game. <br />
<br />
Todd Kyser: Dayton Fightin Ags- SR 6-2 SG – 16.5ppg, 1.8apg, 48%FG <br />
<br />
Had to play point guard were nothing went right for him last year. As a freshman he lead the league in scoring at around 26ppg and has a career average of 22.7ppg. This year he has a great true point guard playing next to him, something he has never had and so far he is averaging over 30ppg. <br />
<br />
Jimmie Dean: Rockford Vikings- SR 6-4 SF- 59%FG, 33/34FT <br />
<br />
First chance to start and Rockford has to replace lots of scoring; already averaging well over 20ppg. <br />
Wendell Lyle: Riverside Fighting Okra- SO 6-6 SG- 12.2ppg, 2.1 apg, 54.2%FG, 44%3pts <br />
Only played 20 minutes a game last year, which limited his numbers and played most of those minutes out of position at PG. He's a pure SG who should produce big this year. <br />
<br />
Donald Riddles: Ocala Redemption- SO 6-9 SF-13.3ppg, 5.4rpg, 26 blocks, 54.8%FG <br />
<br />
A premier scorer who was held in check last year with lots of senior talent scoring alongside him. If Ocala is going to make one last hurrah run at it, Riddles will probably be doing most of the scoring, getting tons of assists from SR stud PG Jeff Morin. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Frosh Watch''' <br />
Philip Dittrich: Jersey City Shockers: SG: Could easily be an all-league player as a freshman. Has the skills to be an incredible scorer, averages over 30ppg in his first three games, while also shutting down the opponents best scorer. This guy will be a four year stud. <br />
<br />
Walter Hunt: Syracuse Minutemen- PG: The guy to fill graduated league scoring champ Kris Bush’s big shoes. Through three games he averaged 25ppg while playing PG for the Minutemen, the same he put up in HS. <br />
<br />
Ray Nen: Savannah beavers- 6-4 SF: The Beavers are starting three freshmen and Nen stands out as the best scorer of the bunch <br />
<br />
The Jimmy Schaefer-Phillip Herold Combo: The Abilene Mad Cows-Yikes. My goodness, over 54 ppg in HS, these two are already combining for over 35 points a game while splitting time at SG. This Duo has to terrify opposing defenses, if Abilene ever finds a way to get both these guys on the floor there won’t be enough balls for them to score. <br />
<br />
Andres Martin: Lubbock Rimrattlers <br />
<br />
William Stegner: New York City <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The One Man Teams:''' <br />
<br />
Sean Cannon: Yonkers Scarlet Knights: SR 6-9 PG -20.4ppg, 4.6rpg, 23 blocks, 59.2%FG, 53%3pts <br />
<br />
Yonkers lost three senior starters from last year, yet still Cannon has led his team to a 3-0 start. If Yonkers somehow keeps this up and gets to the NTT, Cannon should have a statue made of him. <br />
<br />
Sergio Price: Terre-Hautte wiseman22: SO 6-5- 18.1ppg, 2.1apg, 55.5%, 47%3pts, 86%FT <br />
<br />
No one else to score so Sergio has to do it. So far he has carried his team to a 2-1 start while averaging 24 a game and not turning it over once <br />
<br />
Grant Allison: Bismarck Yardwork- SR, 6-10 C – 21.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.2spg, 50 blocks, 60.5%FG, 55%3pt <br />
<br />
Leading his team to a 3-0 start, single-handedly beat my Dayton team in preseason without anybody else around him. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Point Guard Who Can Light It Up''' <br />
<br />
Sergio Price: Terre-Hautte wiseman22: SO 6-5- 18.1ppg, 2.1apg, 55.5% FG, 47%3pts, 86%FT <br />
<br />
Allan Fisher: Jersey City Shockers: SO 6-5- 19ppg, 1.5apg/1TO, 53%FG <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Some of My Favorite Players:''' <br />
<br />
Raymond Lazenby: Boulder Storm- 6-7 JR PF: 20.2ppg, 5.3rpg, 56.2%FG <br />
<br />
At 6-7 this guy is one of the best low post scorers even though he is undersized. This year he has so far just been insane putting up over 28ppg and 7rpg. In game 4, he put on one of the best performances of any one player this year, scoring 40 and grabbing 11 rebounds. Gotta love the undersized guy who can just flat out play. <br />
<br />
Leland Gritton: Grand Rapid Saboteurs- 6-11 SO C: 10.7ppg, 7.9rpg, 1.8apg, 1spg, 31 blocks, 52.1%FG, 50%3pts <br />
<br />
This guy would put up absolutely incredible numbers if he did not play along the leagues best PF in Austin Soza. As a freshman Leland filled up the stat sheet, doing everything well and efficiently. One of those guys who does everything you need for a team to win. Its going to fun to watch this guy go off as Senior without Soza. I think he’ll just light it up. I like this guy not only for the type of player he is, but also for his name; I think I’m going to make some sort of All Grit team and with his last name Im gonna have to put him on there. <br />
<br />
Jeff Morin: Ocala Redemption- SR – 10ppg, 5.5apg, 1.3 spg, 51%3pt: <br />
<br />
Made everybody on his team look incredible last year; all of the other starter averaged well over 12ppg. Likely to take more of the scoring load this year, which he seems capable of doing. This guy is what you talk about when you mean a true PG. The true heart soul of an aging Ocala team. I really think he gives them a shot to be title contenders and by the end of the year, even with his scoring aside he could be my All-League PG. A few incredible stats through four games: 65%FG, 3.2spg!, 7.0apg, 7/1 A/TO, 9/14 3pts... Already some outstanding totals and has lead his team to a 4-0 start to boot. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Early Season High School McDonald’s All-American Team S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
PG: Jon Price- 6-2 College Station, Texas- Jon has all the skills to perform exceptionally at the next level; right now he is carrying his HS team, scoring 26 points a game while still keeping 2/1 A/TO ratio. Look for him to turn into an incredible all-around point at the next level; although his defense isn’t exceptional, he has the athleticism to stay with and disrupt any teams opposing point guard as shown by his 1.7spg.<br />
Early Estimate: EGGFGE= +7<br />
<br />
SG: Jeffery Harrison- 6-5 Tuscon, Arizona- Jeffery has a tattoo across his back reading “Born to Score”. That is all you really need to know about this guy, 28.8ppg in HS. If he is put on a team that lets this guy just take the rock and score it, he could set all sorts of scoring records. His excellent shooting ability plus his Tracy McGrady like athleticism makes him one of the most exciting/terrifying players to watch depending on which side you’re on. Combine all that with the fact that he pulled a 4.0 in HS means that he’ll know that if he wants to win all he has to do is call for the ball and take it the hole or just shoot a three. I hope this guy lands on a team that’ll just let him rip because he’ll be exciting to watch. I would love to hear who is after this guy.<br />
Early Estimate: EFFGEE= +7<br />
<br />
SF: Matthew Deleon- 6-9 Canton, Ohio- Deleon is an all-around star for his 9-1 HS team. He’ll be able to do it all at the SF spot, but could easily be move to the low post with his good to excellent rebounding skills. Matthew is quite the defender as he is averaging 2 steals per a game and will be a lock down guy at the next level. His only concern is his relative lack of hands, but his all-around skills make him one of the top players in the country. <br />
Early Estimate: GEPEFE=+7/-1<br />
<br />
PF: Sandy Adams- 6-10 Bakersfield, Unknown- Like Harrison, Adams also has a tattoo across his back, but his reads “King of the Lane”. One of the more disgusting statistics I have ever seen is his ridiculous 3.5 blocks per a game, that’s close to a 100 blocks in a season, yikes. Probably the best pure defender in this class, he’s also a good rebounder.<br />
Early Estimate: FEGEGE= maybe a little high end but still very possible +8<br />
<br />
C: Bruce Dunn- 7-1 Toledo, Ohio- The #1 recruit in the country, this guy is probably also one of the best all-around players in the country. He dominates every aspect of the Center position posting great statistics in every category. He’ll be an incredible team player and immediately makes whoever gets this guy a likely contender.<br />
Early Estimate: GEEGGG= +8, something around that<br />
<br />

== Early Season Team Assesments S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Early Season Favorites:'''<br />
<br />
Grand Rapid Saboteurs- Last years runner up lost two starters but returned the two guys that matter most, Leland Gritton and Austin Soza. If your talking about the best big men combos in the league you talking about these two 6-11 monsters. The key for Grand Rapids is to get their two new starters to throw the ball down low and play some good D. <br />
<br />
Portland Sharks- The talent is there but can they put it together. A very deep team that does not at all rely on one player for its scoring and can play some great D; they can bring a couple players off the bench who can score. Will be tough to stop because of there depth, but its going to be interesting who will step up for them when it comes to crunch time. <br />
<br />
Atlantic City Mad Koalas- The Back to Back defending LG5 NTT Champs return this year looking to make it three in a row. AC has lots of experience when it comes to big game experience and will undoubtably feed off that come crunch time. The keys for the Koalas this year will be replacing two seniors from last years squad with two Freshman; meanwhile I'm sure their deep bench will also likely play a role in making up for that scoring. AC also will face two very difficult tests in season in LG 5 biggest Rivalry with Pitt. Those games will be huge as both teams are legitimate NTT contenders <br />
<br />
<br />
Ocala Redemption <br />
The franchise is dying with consecutive crummy classes, and lost a pair of studs to graduation, but a top-10 senior class still has the talent to "get it done". They busted up Riverside in game 2, and should easily get a high seed thanks to the lack of competition in Conf10. They have no depth, but they have the leaders to make noise in the big dance. One last hurrah for the Redemption? <br />
<br />
Lincoln Pimpzillas <br />
An Elite 8 team last season, Lincoln has already replaced their duo of drafted big men. The junior class runs this team now, as 6'11" Thad Osborne provides the muscle and PG Ed Meyer and SF James Valenzuela provide the offense. Meyer is a fantastic "breakout player" option; he dished 7apg while shooting 60% last season, and will get to use his net-ripping abilities more often this season. The team has every role filled, and should be able to match up with any NTT opponent. <br />
<br />
Someone from Conference 1 <br />
This was initial going to be reserved for Final Four squad Buffalo, but I couldn't find a reason to guarantee they'd survive their brutal conference schedule. Expect three or four teams to make the big dance, and one of them will definitely make some noise. Leading candidates are steady and team-oriented Buffalo, undersized-but-explosive Brunswick, senior-driven Hershey, and the young perimeter assault of Jersey City. Youth-driven Allentown could also contend, if they manage to earn a bid to the dance. <br />
<br />
Atlantic City/Pittsburgh <br />
The most publicized rivalry in the league probably doesn't need press from me, but they certainly deserve to be noticed for their consistent success against top-level teams. Tonight's face-off is a MUST-SEE for anyone who wants to succeed in the NTT - one of these teams will be in the Elite 8.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Unorthodox Teams:''' <br />
<br />
Toledo Tumbleweeds: From SG to Center the Tumbleweeds play four 6-7 guys. Headlining this team is its three Sophomores that composed 1/2 class last year. Playing the undersized center is David Devine who had a great year at SF last year as a freshman. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Best Young Teams:''' <br />
<br />
Abilene The Mad Cows: Headlined by back to back top ten classes Abilene has a bunch of underclassmen studs. Lloyd Whitworth, Philip Herold, and Jimmy Schaefer are all star caliber players capable of averaging well over 20 points a game; look for this team in a year or two to make a deep run when their freshman guards get some experience and playing time. <br />
<br />
Baltimore Mice: The Mice have two Freshman starters and two Sophmores starting as well. SO SF Hal Riffe and FR SG Chang Collier will be a deadly duo over the next 3 years. Their 2/4 ranked freshman class will be looking to gain control of a strong North division in Conference 4, and maybe in the coming seasons take home that NTT title. <br />
<br />
Boise Apocalypse: Three Freshman starters on a team with two very strong freshman and sophomore classes. Give this team two years and another good class or two and these guys will be big time competitors. <br />
<br />
Jersey City Shockers: Allan Fisher and Phillip Dittrich make up the best young backcourt in the league. Watch these guys as they mature, they both can light it up. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''My Top Five Through the First 6 Games:'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''#1: Pittsburgh Blazing Burros:''' Two big time wins already this year against St. Louis and Atlantic City both 5-1 teams who are possible title contender plus another solid win against Odessa who is 4-2. This Pitt team may not be the most talented of Valdez’s teams but so far their results have been very impressive, if they can beat Atlantic City one more time in their more than likely two match-ups to come, they will probably in my mind guarantee themselves a one seed. A team that relies on defense and all-around team play, right now has the most impressive résumé. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#2. Lincoln Pimpzillas:''' Another very talented team that is 6-0 and has been absolutely unchallenged so far this season. Their average margin of victory through six games has been 31 points. This team is lead by some great upper classmen, with four of them in the starting line-up with JR SF James Valenzuela leading the way. Their unchallenged season so far ends in their next game against a 6-0 Roswell club. I expect to see this experienced and very talented team in the Final Four this year, but we’ll see. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#3. Portland Sharks:''' The most talented team in LG5 in terms of class rankings have so far compiled a 6-0 record against decent opponents. So far they have handed a decent Riverside team a 40 point loss and beaten a 4-2 San Jose team. Their next game against Shawnee will likely point the direction of this team’s destiny and show us if they can really live up to their obvious talent. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#4. Tuscon Court Jesters:''' These guys know how to win the close games against the tough teams. They have already put together a one point win against Baton Rouge and two point win against Charlotte, both teams being 5-1 and ranked in the top 40 and last year were ranked in the top 20. This team is lead by their three starting Juniors who composed a 2/1 ranked class and a solid bench with lots of height lead by SR 6-10 bSF Tony Cobb who is avg 8 points in 12 minutes played. After many years of plus 15 wins this team is trying to finally break that 20 win barrier. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''#5. Ocala Redemption:''' So far this upper class laden team has played five decent 3-3 teams and the closest any of those teams came was 16 points. This team, lead by some great seniors, has proven through the first 6 games and the preseason games that they still have what it takes to make a push in the NTT. With a relatively easy regular season schedule remaining, look for this team to be undefeated and carrying a one seed into the NTT. If their back-ups can holds up and nobody gets hurt in their starting line-up we could see them in the final four</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Best_of_LG5_Season_36&diff=1867The Best of LG5 Season 362007-01-01T08:46:14Z<p>Blalock: </p>

Lawerence Kroeker: St. Louis Masqueraders- JR, 6-2 PG – 22.3ppg, 2.6apg, 1.6spg, 54.6%FG, 44.2%3pts<br />
A very solid all-around star player playing the PG spot. His defense is extremely impressive posting that 1.6spg. Another year of experience will do him some good. His numbers so far don’t look impressive, but that was against extremely difficult competition, which he lead his team through to a 2-1 start.<br />
<br />
Gerald Boylan: Oakland Redzz- SR, 6-4 SG – 24ppg, 3.6rpg, 1.3apg, 1spg, 58.6%FG, 50%3pts, 101 FTA<br />
A great scorer who does everything that a team wants out of a pure scorer. His FTA really impress me coming from the SG spot, must be an extremely athletic scorer. May not have the numbers he did last year in terms of ppg because he has a good scoring freshman pg playing with him this year.<br />
<br />
Danny Brennan: Brunswick Wolves- JR, 6-9 SF – (at PF) 21.1ppg, 5.4rpg, 1.1spg, 23 blocks, 52.3%FG<br />
The move to SF this year will likely do this very versatile player well. He already is showing signs of playing extremely well at SF shooting 66% and average over two steals a game. <br />
<br />
Austin Soza: Grand Rapids Saboteurs- JR, 6-10 PF – 22.7ppg, 5.8rpg, 1spg, 26 blocks, 57.7% fg, 44.6% 3pts, 80% FT<br />
So far this year Soza has lived up to his billing as one of the best front scorer in the league, averaging nearly 29 ppg. His game is very similar to Dirk Nowitizki, a big power forward who can go inside and draw the foul, while also a very good long range shooter. Watch out for him as he is only a JR and has another incredible backcourt mate in sophomore center Leland Gritton who does everything extremely well and complements Soza very well.<br />

Todd Kyser: Dayton Fightin Ags- SR 6-2 SG – 16.5ppg, 1.8apg, 48%FG<br />
Had to play point guard were nothing went right for him last year. As a freshman he lead the league in scoring at around 26ppg and has a career average of 22.7ppg. This year he has a great true point guard playing next to him, something he has never had and so far he is averaging over 30ppg.<br />
<br />
Jimmie Dean: Rockford Vikings- SR 6-4 SF- 59%FG, 33/34FT<br />
First chance to start and Rockford has to replace lots of scoring; already averaging well over 20ppg<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The Frosh Watch'''<br />
<br />
Philip Dittrich: Jersey City Shockers: SG: Could easily be an all-league player as a freshman. Has the skills to be an incredible scorer, averages over 30ppg in his first three games, while also shutting down the opponents best scorer. This guy will be a four year stud.<br />
<br />
Walter Hunt: Syracuse Minutemen- PG: The guy to fill graduated league scoring champ Kris Bush’s big shoes. Through three games he averaged 25ppg while playing PG for the Minutemen, the same he put up in HS.<br />
<br />
Ray Nen: Savannah beavers- 6-4 SF: The Beavers are starting three freshmen and Nen stands out as the best scorer of the bunch<br />
The Jimmy Schaefer-Phillip Herold Combo: The Abilene Mad Cows-Yikes. My goodness, over 54 ppg in HS, these two are already combining for over 35 points a game while splitting time at SG. This Duo has to terrify opposing defenses, if Abilene ever finds a way to get both these guys on the floor there won’t be enough balls for them to score.<br />
<br />
Andres Martin: Lubbock Rimrattlers<br />
<br />
William Stegner: New York City<br />

'''The One Man Teams:'''<br />
<br />
Sean Cannon: Yonkers Scarlet Knights: SR 6-9 PG -20.4ppg, 4.6rpg, 23 blocks, 59.2%FG, 53%3pts<br />
Yonkers lost three senior starters from last year, yet still Cannon has led his team to a 3-0 start. If Yonkers somehow keeps this up and gets to the NTT, Cannon should have a statue made of him.<br />
<br />
Sergio Price: Terre-Hautte wiseman22: SO 6-5- 18.1ppg, 2.1apg, 55.5%, 47%3pts, 86%FT<br />
No one else to score so Sergio has to do it. So far he has carried his team to a 2-1 start while averaging 24 a game and not turning it over once<br />

<br />
== Early Season High School McDonald’s All-American Team S36 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
PG: Jon Price- 6-2 College Station, Texas- Jon has all the skills to perform exceptionally at the next level; right now he is carrying his HS team, scoring 26 points a game while still keeping 2/1 A/TO ratio. Look for him to turn into an incredible all-around point at the next level; although his defense isn’t exceptional, he has the athleticism to stay with and disrupt any teams opposing point guard as shown by his 1.7spg.<br />
Early Estimate: EGGFGE= +7<br />
<br />
SG: Jeffery Harrison- 6-5 Tuscon, Arizona- Jeffery has a tattoo across his back reading “Born to Score”. That is all you really need to know about this guy, 28.8ppg in HS. If he is put on a team that lets this guy just take the rock and score it, he could set all sorts of scoring records. His excellent shooting ability plus his Tracy McGrady like athleticism makes him one of the most exciting/terrifying players to watch depending on which side you’re on. Combine all that with the fact that he pulled a 4.0 in HS means that he’ll know that if he wants to win all he has to do is call for the ball and take it the hole or just shoot a three. I hope this guy lands on a team that’ll just let him rip because he’ll be exciting to watch. I would love to hear who is after this guy.<br />
Early Estimate: EFFGEE= +7<br />
<br />
SF: Matthew Deleon- 6-9 Canton, Ohio- Deleon is an all-around star for his 9-1 HS team. He’ll be able to do it all at the SF spot, but could easily be move to the low post with his good to excellent rebounding skills. Matthew is quite the defender as he is averaging 2 steals per a game and will be a lock down guy at the next level. His only concern is his relative lack of hands, but his all-around skills make him one of the top players in the country. <br />
Early Estimate: GEPEFE=+7/-1<br />
<br />
PF: Sandy Adams- 6-10 Bakersfield, Unknown- Like Harrison, Adams also has a tattoo across his back, but his reads “King of the Lane”. One of the more disgusting statistics I have ever seen is his ridiculous 3.5 blocks per a game, that’s close to a 100 blocks in a season, yikes. Probably the best pure defender in this class, he’s also a good rebounder.<br />
Early Estimate: FEGEGE= maybe a little high end but still very possible +8<br />
<br />
C: Bruce Dunn- 7-1 Toledo, Ohio- The #1 recruit in the country, this guy is probably also one of the best all-around players in the country. He dominates every aspect of the Center position posting great statistics in every category. He’ll be an incredible team player and immediately makes whoever gets this guy a likely contender.<br />
Early Estimate: GEEGGG= +8, something around that</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Best_of_LG5_Season_36&diff=1866The Best of LG5 Season 362007-01-01T08:42:12Z<p>Blalock: </p>

<div>'''Early Season All-League:'''<br />
<br />
Lawerence Kroeker: St. Louis Masqueraders- JR, 6-2 PG – 22.3ppg, 2.6apg, 1.6spg, 54.6%FG, 44.2%3pts<br />
A very solid all-around star player playing the PG spot. His defense is extremely impressive posting that 1.6spg. Another year of experience will do him some good. His numbers so far don’t look impressive, but that was against extremely difficult competition, which he lead his team through to a 2-1 start.<br />
<br />
Gerald Boylan: Oakland Redzz- SR, 6-4 SG – 24ppg, 3.6rpg, 1.3apg, 1spg, 58.6%FG, 50%3pts, 101 FTA<br />
A great scorer who does everything that a team wants out of a pure scorer. His FTA really impress me coming from the SG spot, must be an extremely athletic scorer. May not have the numbers he did last year in terms of ppg because he has a good scoring freshman pg playing with him this year.<br />
<br />
Danny Brennan: Brunswick Wolves- JR, 6-9 SF – (at PF) 21.1ppg, 5.4rpg, 1.1spg, 23 blocks, 52.3%FG<br />
The move to SF this year will likely do this very versatile player well. He already is showing signs of playing extremely well at SF shooting 66% and average over two steals a game. <br />
<br />
Austin Soza: Grand Rapids Saboteurs- JR, 6-10 PF – 22.7ppg, 5.8rpg, 1spg, 26 blocks, 57.7% fg, 44.6% 3pts, 80% FT<br />
So far this year Soza has lived up to his billing as one of the best front scorer in the league, averaging nearly 29 ppg. His game is very similar to Dirk Nowitizki, a big power forward who can go inside and draw the foul, while also a very good long range shooter. Watch out for him as he is only a JR and has another incredible backcourt mate in sophomore center Leland Gritton who does everything extremely well and complements Soza very well.<br />
<br />
Grant Allison: Bismarck Yardwork- SR, 6-10 C – 21.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.2spg, 50 blocks, 60.5%FG, 55%3pt<br />
An absolutely brilliant post scorer, who also plays great D both in terms of blocks and steals. Does not really have the players around him to have a great team, but definitely does his best to carry his team. My early season pick for all-league player of the year.<br />
<br />

<div>This is something that I have done in the past and really enjoyed when I had the time. I posted this on the Message Board a few seasons back and maybe I'll just start adding stuff here. Anything that has to do with player or teams in LG 5 can be placed here, a good place to track the best in LG5's history.<br />
<br />
<br />
== LG5's Best Rivalries ==<br />
There are many old and new rivalry games played every season in LG5 both in conferences and out of conferences. Feel free to add anything to this section.<br />
<br />
[[LG5 Atlantic City Mad Koalas|Atlantic City]] vs. [[LG5 Pittsburg Brazen Burros|Pittsburg]]<br />
- I know that for a while when AC won a couple of titles in a row, all of there losses over that time came to Pitt. This one is always heated with two of the best in LG5 going at it within their own conference.<br />
<br />
'''Conference 1'''<br />
Conference 1 is full of many long standing rivalry games between some great teams. I know there is alot of history between all of those strong teams in Conference 1 dating back to the creation of LG5.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[The Best of LG5 Season 36]] (From MSB)</div>Blalockhttps://www.simsports.sainio.org/wiki/index.php?title=LG5_St._Louis_Masqueraders&diff=1863LG5 St. Louis Masqueraders2007-01-01T03:03:51Z<p>Blalock: </p>

<div>Team Link[http://drivethelane.com/bask/runtime/whoibbjv.asp?lg=00005&idno=127]<br />
<br />
Coached by: coachjkb<br />
<br />
Last 5 Seasons: 109-11<br />
<br />
Best Season: 24-0 (S37)<br />
<br />
Program Record: 669-279<br />
<br />
Current overall recruiting class ranking: 6<br />
<br />
<br />
A true dynasty in LG5 since close to its begining, St. Louis has been a mainstay power in conference 16 and has established itself even more so recently as one of the top programs in the history of LG5. Coach JB has long held reign over conference 16 and recently has held a noose-like grip on the conference, as St. Louis has won every conference game dating back to season 35. Recently St. Louis won back-to-back NTT titles and won a near sim-sports record and likely a LG5 record of consecutive games between S36-38 in which they went a combined 70-2. Lead by the strong class of S38, which consisted three bigs most notably, Curtis Green, and an adjacent class of S37 lead by an Uber combo guard St. Louis is very famous for in Laurence Kroeker, St. Louis took LG5 by storm winning consective titles and falling just short in the Final Four of S38.<br />
<br />
<br />
There have been many great players come through St. Louis in its storied history, which includes three NTT titles and many conference titles, but currently, Super Guard Marquis Hopson is making his own legacy. Currently only a JR, Hopson already has a LG5 POY under his belt and is eyeing two more before he is done, which would make him likely the best player to ever put on the Masquerader's uniform, which would be like crowing him one of the best in LG5's history. Now if he can just win an NTT title he would secure himself of his legacy.<br />

A true dynasty in LG5 since close to its begining, St. Louis has been a mainstay power in conference 16 and has established itself even more so recently as one of the top programs in the history of LG5. Coach JB has long held reign over conference 16 and recently has held a noose-like grip on the conference, as St. Louis has won every conference game dating back to season 35. Recently St. Louis won back-to-back NTT titles and won a near sim-sports record and likely a LG5 record of consecutive games between S36-38 in which they went a combined 70-2. Lead by the strong class of S38, which consisted three bigs most notably, Curtis Green, and an adjacent class of S37 lead by an Uber combo guard St. Louis is very famous for in Laurence Kroeker, St. Louis took LG5 by storm winning consective titles and falling just short in the Final Four of S38.<br />
<br />
<br />
There have been many great players come through St. Louis in its storied history, which includes three NTT titles and many conference titles, but currently, Super Guard Marquis Hopson is making his own legacy. Currently only a JR, Hopson already has a LG5 POY under his belt and is eyeing two more before he is done, which would make him likely the best player to ever put on the Masquerader's uniform, which would be like crowing him one of the best in LG5's history. Now if he can just win an NTT title he would secure himself of his legacy.<br />

Sioux City has had its glory years and runs in conference 16, but recently with the increased competition in the conference they have fallen on harder times. An interesting factiod, they were the last team to beat St. Louis in conference 16 play way back in the conference tournament finals in S35, when they won the conference but finished a meagre 12-12, their last non-losing season. Hopefully fullofit can bring the simpletons back to their glory days and begin to salvage a once strong program.<br />

<br />
Coach balla took over for Peoria in season 36 and has done a tremendous job turning that program around. He finally has brought in four of his own recruiting classes and looks to finally be on his way to making Peoria a NTT caliber team and making his mark on conference 16. Look for them to be a fixture in the NTT in years to come.<br />

Coached by jbayer, Cinci has been a long standing top program in the north division of conference 16. There was a time not so long ago that Cinci was dominating this conference (circa S32-S35) and were very tough to beat with their mean center Kahil Outlaw. They have remained a very strong and consistent team, staying in the NTT picture year in and year out even though they have lost some of there edge over the north. They run a rather rugged style of play, not star based at all, but rather focused on all-around strong team play, doing a little of everything. Not the most conventional team, and coach jbayer doesn't mind being undersized as he has shown a propensity to win with many different styles of lineups.<br />
<br />
Last 5 seasons: 80-40<br />

<br />
Dayton has been coached by coach Blalock1 since season 33 and have slowly risen out of its historical ineptitude to become a very competitive team, overthrowing Cincinnati's grip on the North division. Up to date their best season was the magical season of 36 when the first three seasons of rebuilding finally accumulated into a milestone 19-5 season. Lead by its all-time leading scorer SR SG Todd Kyser, Dayton managed to beat Cinci 2 out of 3 games, winning the north and ending up in the NTT where they went 3-3. Ever since that season Dayton won a PTT title in S37 when they where lead by three SR starters who comprised Coach [[Blalock]]'s first ever recruiting effort in Sim Sports. In S39 Dayton returned to the NTT scene, but struggled and finished with only 15 wins. However with 4 underclassmen starters from that team returing this team has a bright future.<br />
