'Tis the season for fantasy baseball if you haven't done so already, Freud recommends San Francisco's Madison Bumgarner as a nice addition to your pitching staff but try this on for size.

If you were putting together a fantasy team of local high school basketball, who's your starting five for the boys? There are three strong candidates at point guard alone. Shooting guard? Eagle Valley could put two guys there alone easily, yet Vail Christian has a pretty good two-guard.

Forwards? OMG, as the kids might thumb.

There was no shortage of excellent players both boys and girls locally and the all-league rolls confirm it. We take you through it.

Eagle Valley

The Devils boys got five total selections, but I have two questions. Eagle Valley has only two first-teamers congratulations to Tim Wells and Cooper Senn while Delta had four and Steamboat Springs three? And where in the wide, wide world of sports is point-guard Juan Baca?

Answering the first question, stats are a big part of postseason awards, and Delta's fast-break system produces players with numbers, while the Devils' defense-first makes for a much, more balanced offense. But Steamboat with three guys on the first team from a 5-7 squad and only two from a school that went 10-2 in the Slope and tied for a league title?

Harumph.

Why Baca got no all-league recognition is beyond me. Were the coaches watching the same games I did? You're all-league in my book, Juan.

As for the first-teamers, Wells represents Eagle Valley's deadly perimeter game, and the senior also had a tendency to get hot at the right time ripping off a bunch of points in a very short period of time. Senn is a good selection, even though the numbers probably don't show it. He's a defensive rock.
