High School Hoops Picks: Week One

This neighborhood rivalry will be too close for comfort for Southeast power Foothill.
Foothill 69, Basic 61

With a returning backcourt of Greg Cox and Branon Cresanto, I don’t foresee picking against Falcons much this year.
Foothill 60, Basic 50

Eldorado might be the class of the Northeast Division.
Eldorado 83, Chaparral 69

Chaparral’s undefeated start to the season meets its demise Tuesday night.
Eldorado 72, Chaparral 60

My first upset selection of the year.
Las Vegas 62, Canyon Springs 58

Consistency is the only concern for this uber-talented Canyon Springs squad.

The Northwest Division is Centennial’s to lose.
Centennial 72, Legacy 60

The Allen brothers are only juniors? Uh-oh for anyone who runs into the Bulldogs the next two years.
Centennial 64, Legacy 53

Eldorado will be motivated to win this game.
Eldorado 81, Desert Pines 75

I’ll line up on the opposite side of Brewer in this pick’em contest.
Desert Pines 70, Eldorado 68

Silverado is a lot better than most people think.
Silverado 73, Green Valley 64

This is a continuation from last year, when Brewer refused to give Green Valley basketball enough credit.
Green Valley 58, Silverado 52

This is one of city’s most underrated rivalry games in every sport.
Spring Valley 56, Bonanza 50

Grizzlies are a playoff team this year.
Spring Valley 61, Bonanza 45

Don’t be surprised if Cheyenne is a playoff team.
