well not like they used to, but in the 14th most teams back into a zone and you don't really get to see defense like they used to a while back, but sometimes the teams are behind and have to come out of that packed in 2-3 or 1-2-2 z0nes and actually press and run a little! much more exciting that way, but you do have to have the athletes to do it! As for best defensive team, JBS packed in there zone with the big 7'0'' kid back this year, they will make people shoot from the outside and we don't have many that will bring them out of it, other than maybe brandenburg from lee or hicks from hazard and sometimes the bailey kid from pcc!
As for best defensive player, i like the stacy kid from pcc to use guarding 1,2 and 3 men, the coach always seems to put him on the best player and he dogs them all over the court giving them a hard time and tires them out and forces turnovers. The Big kid from Buckhorn can play some defense too when he wants too, zack gay,i'm pretty sure his name is, he can run with anyone and block some shots too and is still getting better... Hubbard from leslie is quick but he is a little small and may get posted up in a man to man set, but in a pressing situation he would be a great chaser on someone too!
