Preps Basketball Power Rankings: No. 13 West Aurora

Share

School: West Aurora

2016-17 record: 21-9, 9-1 Upstate Eight Valley

Postseason results: Lost to Bolingbrook in Class 4A sectional semifinals

Players to watch: Four-year varsity presence Camron Donatlan is one of the best athletes in the area as the 6-foot-2 guard is a 1,000-point career scorer who can fill it up from all over the floor. Senior forward Jared Crutcher is another double-figure scoring threat and East Aurora transfer Traevon Brown is a key addition in the backcourt.

Why they're in the power rankings: Taking eventual Class 4A third-place finisher Bolingbrook to the limit in the playoffs last season, West Aurora has proven double-figure scorers at multiple spots. The addition of Brown also gives the Blackhawks a talented floor general who makes plays on both ends of the floor.

Did you know? West Aurora has captured regional titles in five of the last six seasons as they're annually among the area's best teams in the postseason.
