Who will be the best basketball team in 3A next year?

- Start date
George Wythe and Northside seem to be the obvious choices of teams that made it to the State Tournament this year. Norcom definitely shouldn't be counted out- like people so adequately point out on here- until someone beats them, they're in the conversation. Western Albemarle and Spotswood both lose a lot but have solid programs so I wouldn't count either of them OUT of the talk. JM is always a contender. Seems to me like it's the same programs year in and year out that are at the top. Always a surprise here and there at the end of the year but not a TON of surprises.
Spotswood will drop off some in terms of what they have returning but still have to wait and see what transfers they line up. They have a couple younger transfers coming in from Harrisonburg but they are a couple years away from being factors. Not much in their local area to pull in for an immediate help this coming season.
Western Albemarle losses three of 5 starters, but their bench was very effective this year and a strong underclassmen class comes up with two 6 foot 5 rising sophomores and some excellent play makers.
Phoebus returns basically everybody from their Final Four run. They'll add a VERY talented freshman and have Khyree Temple the entire year. There is no way Phoebus is not the preseason favorite.
