1) Coronado (Division 4, Coronado)

Head Coach: Sandy Dillon (11^th Year)
Last year’s record: 20 – 6 (7 – 3, tied for 1^st)
Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Semi-finals.
Key players: Tony Moore (Sr, 6’03"), Brett Milke (Sr, 6’05")
Losses to overcome: Jimmy Harrison (transferred to Virginia), Warren Hebert (graduation)
Summary: Moore and Milke form the best offensive tandem in the league, and should propel the Islanders to another league crown. Size and experience are on their side and should make them a legitimate CIF contender.

2) Hoover (Division 2, San Diego)

Head Coach: Ollie Goulston (1^st Year)
Last year’s record: 6 – 18 (5 – 5, tied for 4^th)
Last year’s playoffs: None
Key players: Kenneth Maye (Sr, 5’10"), JayDee Luster (Fr, 5’09"), Mark Hall (Sr, 6’08"), Todd Doxey (Fr, 6’00"), Ryon White (So, 6’07")
Losses to overcome: Jean Almonor (graduation), Curtis Webster
Summary: Luster is the real deal and forms a super quick backcourt with Maye and Doxey. Lack of experience is a concern, but the Cardinals should be very tough as the season wears on if Hall and White produce inside.

3) Clairemont (Division 3, Clairemont)

Head Coach: Brian Keiser (2^nd Year)
Last year’s record: 15 – 9 (7 – 3, tied for 1^st)
Last year’s playoffs: Lost in Quarterfinals.
Key players: Kenny Barker (Sr, 6’01"), Dominic Stafford (Sr, 6’02"), Kyle Siskowic (Jr, 6’02"), David Olson (Jr, 6’07"), Kenny Welch (So, 6’04")
Losses to overcome: Mike Williams (graduation)
Summary: Barker is an offensive force that is hard to stop but the Chiefs will need some other players to step up offensively. The Chiefs’ experience could be a real factor in an improved league.

4) Crawford (Division 3, San Diego)

Head Coach: Chris Burns (4^th Year)
Last year’s record: 10 – 17 (5 – 5, tied for 4^th)
Last year’s playoffs: None
Key players: Jarrod West (Sr, 6’03"), Tethloc Tut (Sr, 6’05"), Maurice Clady (Jr, 5’09"), Jabary Lemmons (Jr, 6’03"), LePhonte Turner (Jr, 6’02")
Losses to overcome: Mark Banks (graduation), Jerrett Harris (graduation), Pur Lam (graduation)
Summary: Banks and Harris will be tough to replace, but West can score points in a hurry. Clady is an improving player who will run the point. The athletic Colts should be a solid team but must develop some inside game in order to contend for the league crown.

5) Christian (Division 4, El Cajon)

Head Coach: Tobin Wilkens (2^nd Year)
Last year’s record: 6 – 19 (0 – 10, 6^th)
Last year’s playoffs: None
Key players: Tyrone Shelley (Fr, 6’05")
Losses to overcome: Jesse Lebeau (transferred to Alaska)
Summary: Shelley is a good young player who will have to do everything for the undermanned Patriots. Loss of Lebeau devastates their perimeter game and outside shooting.

6) Madison (Division 3, Kearny Mesa)

Head Coach: Rick Jackson (1^st Year)
Last year’s record: 9 – 13 (6 –4, 3^rd)
Last year’s playoffs: Lost in 1^st Round.
Key players: Nelson Bavongkhoung (Sr, 5’10")
Losses to overcome: Daniel Rios (Mesa College), Verlain Betofe (graduation)
Summary: Graduation losses will be hard to overcome for the Warhawks who look to Bavongkhoung to lead a young group.

Player of the Year: Brett Milke (Coronado)
