Preseason
Nov. 20, 2017
No. 1 Gilbert Mesquite Wildcats
With Shaylee Gonzales and Lindsey VanAllen returning in the backcourt, this defending 5A championship team has the makings of a team that can run the table at any level.
No. 2 Surprise Valley Vista Monsoon
Returns leading scorer Taylor Chavez from 6A title team.

No. 3 Goodyear Millennium Tigers
Motivated to take 6A after losing to Valley Vista 44-36 in the final. Everybody who scored points for Millennium in that game were underclassmen, including two freshmen and two sophomores.
No. 4 Chandler Seton Catholic Sentinels
Will have to make up for lost rebounds with the Wirth twins now in college, but two-time POY Sarah Barcello is back and she's got her sister, Amanda, a freshman, on board to help the 4A champs defend their title.
No. 5 Cave Creek Cactus Shadows Falcons
Will again be Seton's biggest nemesis in 4A with Baylor-signee Caitlin Bickle back.

No. 6 Gilbert Tigers
This 26-win team returns the Cavinder twins, junior point guards Haley (17.7 points a game last year) and Hanna (16 a game).
No. 7 Scottsdale Chaparral Firebirds
Great trio of scorers in Maddie Vick, Summer Menke and Brenna Doyle will help them get out and beat 5A teams on the break.
No. 8 Phoenix Sierra Linda Bulldogs
Went 27-3 making a big run to the 5A final against Mesquite, behind Janae Gonzales (17 points a game), who is back.
No. 9 Phoenix Arcadia Titans
Mesquite should get pushed harder in 5A this year with this senior-loaded team, led by Arizona-signee Bryce Nixon, ready to challenge.
No. 10 Phoenix Xavier Prep Gators
A 20-win 6A team last year, watch for them to be better with former WNBA star Jennifer Gillom back as head coach with senior power forward Montana Oltrogge leading the way.
