Public League Red-West

Outlook: Marshall has the best player, while North Lawndale and Young are splitting hairs on who has the better team. Don’t count out William Nelson at Farragut.

The top five: Troynell Adams, Farragut, F, sr.; Chris Colvin, Young, G, sr.; Marcus Jordan, Young, G, sr.; Jonathan Mills, North Lawndale, F, sr.; Darius Smith, Marshall, G, sr.

Keep an eye on: Curtis Jones, Orr, G, fr.

Did you know? New Crane coach Tim Anderson is the second Tim Anderson to coach at Crane. He also was the backcourt mate of Will ‘‘The Thrill’’ Bynum, a point guard with the Detroit Pistons.

Quote: ‘‘A lot of flavor has been brought back to the Red-West with the realignments. Old rivalries and traditions are going to keep things pretty intense.’’ — Farragut coach William Nelson

Prediction: North Lawndale, Young, Marshall, Farragut, Crane, Orr, Manley, Clark, Clemente, ACT.
