5A Preseason Top 20
Over the past couple of weeks Basketball Colorado members got a sneak peak at our 5A preseason top 20 list with team analysis. As it was last year there seems to be a gap between the top three or four teams and the field. A number of teams could make an argument to be ranked higher. For instance a young but unproven Smoky Hill or a senior laden Palmer should strongly be considered for the top 20. This year, team chemistry will be more important than ever with the parity that exists across the state.
